The virus itself causes pneumonia and ultimately acute respiratory distress syndrome in those who have died.
The vaccines you speak of won't stop COVID-19 related pneumonia. They WILL protect against bacterial pneumonia.

I see you are clearly correct. Thanks for the Hope Check.

(2,199 posts)14. Yeah, I wish it was otherwise.
At least you're protected from secondary bacterial pneumonia infections.
