I posted this in another thread, there’s nothing about mandating this that makes any sense, yet people are lining up to comply.
Why does the mandate not require a booster if your shot is over 6 months old, and every 6 months thereafter? This is supposed to be about stopping the spread, right? Why is someone who got the J&J vaccine given over a year ago good to go, but it you had Covid, you’re supposedly a threat to others since you’re not vaccinated? As the op pointed out, and many, many others also have, as long as you still spread Covid with the vaccine, a mandate is ridiculous. Then add the efficacy of the vaccines, and the true death rate from Covid, the injures and deaths from the vaccines, it’s just all insanity.
COVID Vaccines’ Protection Dropped Sharply Over 6 Months: Study
Nov. 5, 2021 -- The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson dropped dramatically as the Delta variant swept the United States, a study of almost 800,000 veterans found.
The study, published in the journal Science, says the three vaccines offered about the same protection against the virus in March, when the Delta variant was first detected in the U.S., but that changed 6 months later.
The Moderna two-dose vaccine went from being 89% effective in March to 58% effective in September, according to a story about the study in theLos Angeles Times.
Meanwhile, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine went from being 87% effective to 45% effective over the same time period.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine showed the biggest drop -- from 86% effectiveness to 13% over those 6 months.
“In summary, although vaccination remains protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection, protection waned as the Delta variant emerged in the U.S., and this decline did nyot differ by age,” the study said.
The three vaccines also lost effectiveness in the ability to protect against death in veterans 65 and over after only 3 months, the Los Angeles Times reported
