According to Pfizer. I'm thinking this will be like the flu---annual shots. Doesn't help that dumbass Repukes are walking variant factories. Although the protection against serious illness remained, so maybe natural selection will help solve a lot of our problems......

Now, why would we want to get a 3rd dose of Pfizer? Baitball Blogger Jul 2021 #8

Pls show me the number for J&J efficacy specifically for the delta variant. Pobeka Jul 2021 #17

I haven't found the statistics. Baitball Blogger Jul 2021 #19

Thanks. That means claims of efficacy for delta variant are useless. Pobeka Jul 2021 #21

I respect your skeptism. Baitball Blogger Jul 2021 #23

re: "J&J...has a better percentage of efficacy over variants" thesquanderer Jul 2021 #26

I was thinking of global variants. Baitball Blogger Jul 2021 #28

Not sure SheltieLover Jul 2021 #34

J&J topped out at around 75%, Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #46

Wow. That's really disappointing. And the protection against serious illness and death is Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #3

They are planning for 3rd shots for those over 50 in Sept. SheltieLover Jul 2021 #4

You too! This thing isn't over. Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #5

No it isn't over! SheltieLover Jul 2021 #6

In Germany there has been a curious statistic DFW Jul 2021 #7

I am wondering the same thing. Baitball Blogger Jul 2021 #9

Wish I could remember where I read wnylib Jul 2021 #13

I recall reading that too, Wyn. SheltieLover Jul 2021 #35

I did a search and came up with an article wnylib Jul 2021 #42

Ty, Wyn! SheltieLover Jul 2021 #43

The reason the second shot was an mRNA was due to Phoenix61 Jul 2021 #24

It was never meant to be inoculation. uponit7771 Jul 2021 #10

Ty for posting! SheltieLover Jul 2021 #38

Not true that those negative consequences wnylib Jul 2021 #40

Same here! SheltieLover Jul 2021 #36

It WAS meant for inoculation. NH Ethylene Jul 2021 #20

it was both MEANT stopdiggin Jul 2021 #22

If you look back at old news and medical articles NH Ethylene Jul 2021 #44

That wasn't the intent - Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #47

So, all is well. The rumor mills work as well as ever and here is new grist. jaxexpat Jul 2021 #11

Not rumors! When the vaccines were being tested prior to initial public release there was comment by Ford_Prefect Jul 2021 #12

Most people receive 100% of their Covid-19 info through the media. jaxexpat Jul 2021 #25

I agree that the media has mangled the message by poor practice or by deliberate distortion. Ford_Prefect Jul 2021 #29

Israel has not had any deaths since June 10. Yavin4 Jul 2021 #18

"At the same time, protection against hospitalization and serious illness remained strong." Yavin4 Jul 2021 #31

I'm absolutely stunned none of that was mentioned in the OP BannonsLiver Jul 2021 #32

We know that information from the CDC SheltieLover Jul 2021 #33

The headline of the article is misleading and alarmist. Yavin4 Jul 2021 #37

Sorry. I didn't write headline, but included [Infection] SheltieLover Jul 2021 #39

Yes, very on brand. BannonsLiver Jul 2021 #41

Far from it - Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #48

I couldn't open the article. Are they saying the vaccine's effectiveness is wearing off over time or liberal_mama Jul 2021 #45
