    You are pushing the same anti-vaxxer nonsense and talking points which is found all over social media (marked as false information) and at the leading anti-vaxxer websites. This weeks nonsense involves the "biodistribution" clams and the "Japanese study". Just the latest example in a stream of fabricated (and easily debunked) anti-vaxxer nonsense found on the internet.

    If you were serious about educating yourself with facts then you would perform a Google study and take a look at mainstream studies and information on the subject. Rather than doubling down and continuing to push the nonsense found on social media. Your agenda obviously is pushing fabricated misinformation -- nothing more.

    I am NOT pushing anything.

    I have no agenda.

    It is comical that you think that social media companies are a source of truth and expertise.

    I watched an interview with the person the censors FB post. The guy was a total moron.

    Antibodies from COVID-19 vaccination almost 3 times higher than from infection
    https://knowridge.com/2021/07/antib...on-almost-3-times-higher-than-from-infection/

    In a new study from Tel Aviv University, researchers found people who’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 have a much stronger immune system response against the new coronavirus than those who’ve previously been infected.

    They found vaccinated individuals had the highest antibody levels, nearly three times higher than that of convalescent individuals recovering from symptomatic COVID-19.

    They also found while 99.4% of vaccinated people tested positive for COVID-fighting antibodies in blood samples just six days after their second dose of vaccine, less than 76% of people recovering from a COVID-19 infection were positive in an antibody test.

    These findings might encourage people who believe they’re already well-protected because of a prior encounter with SARS-CoV-2 to go ahead and get vaccinated.

    In the study, the team assessed COVID-19 antibody levels in more than 26,000 blood samples from vaccinated and unvaccinated people, along with people who’d recovered from their COVID-19 infections.

    They also found that men and women have different antibody levels after either vaccination or infection.

    Among those older than 51, antibody levels were found to be higher in women than in men.

    This may be related to the change in levels of the female hormone estrogen, which occurs around this age and affect the immune system.

    In men, a rise in antibody levels was seen starting around 35, possibly linked to changes in levels of the male sex hormone testosterone and its effect on the immune system.

    In addition, young adults had a higher level of antibodies that lasted longer compared to older vaccinated adults.

    In young adults, a high concentration of antibodies is usually due to a strong immune response, while in older people it usually indicates overreaction of the immune system linked to severe illness.

    The team says further research is needed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the immune system’s response to COVID-19, to recovery from the disease, and to the vaccine.

    If you care about COVID vaccines, please read studies about COVID vaccines: Does it matter which one you get? and findings of why you should get a COVID-19 vaccine – even if you’ve already had the coronavirus.

    For more information about COVID vaccination and your health, please see recent studies about 1 in 4 people experience mild side effects from COVID-19 vaccines and results showing that why some people don’t experience COVID-19 vaccine side-effects.

    The study is published in medRxiv. One author of the study is Noam Shomron.

    Pfizer says FDA accepted its application for full approval of its vaccine in people 16 and up
    https://www.wesh.com/article/pfizer...on-for-full-approval-of-its-vaccine/37051620#

    Pfizer says the Food and Drug Administration has accepted its application for full approval of their vaccine in people 16 years and older.

    The company says it has been granted priority review and that a goal date for the decision is in January.

  7. Where "accepted" means has agreed to go forward with the application and not that it has approved the application.

    Always good to get full approval at some point considering that 85 million Americans have received two shots of it already and by January that number will be larger. Although the January date is what the process sets as the final date but since it has been out there under emergency approval the expectation is that it will go much faster. The idea being that a vaccine needs to be out on a large scale for six months before being approved and in the case of emergency approval it happens that way rather than just through a large trial.

    Moderna filed for full approval in June. I doubt that it will take more than a couple months for either of them. They mostly want it to market exported vaccine anyway.

  9. Overnight

    Overnight

    By January, right around the time the original COVID vaccine is fully approved by the FDA, we should be on variant Theta or Iota. It will be discovered that the original Pfizer vaccine is wholly ineffective against those new, deadlier variants, and the entire process will start again for another 24 months.

    New vaccine needs emergency Auth, it gets it, it works great for a while, then a new variant pops up. Decades, dude.

    You guys know how Doctor Who is the longest running TV show in history? Like 55 years? So will this COVID be the longest running news story every day for a similar amount of time. A child born in Dec 2019 will live to be an octogenarian, and COVID will be in their head the whole time.

    Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money!

    We will see how the entire COVID vaccine booster situation works out. Note -- as seen in earlier posts -- university & pharma researchers are working on a universal, permanent coronavirus vaccine which will likely be available in the next 5 years. So any requirement for a COVID-19 booster will only be needed over the upcoming three years or so. The question is how long the current COVID-19 vaccine doses are effective and how soon boosters will be required --- it may be years.

    Most people won't need a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot for years, vaccination experts predict
    https://theweek.com/coronavirus/100...19-vaccine-booster-shot-for-years-vaccination

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting next week to discuss whether immunocompromised Americans should be authorized to receive a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and Pfizer said last week it will seek regulatory approval for an eventual third booster shot of its vaccine amid the rapidly spreading Delta variant. Israel said this week it will begin administering a third Pfizer dose to severely immunocompromised adults, and Britain has announced a plan to administer booster shots beginning in September.

    The rapid spread of the Delta mutation among unvaccinated pockets of the U.S. combined with Pfizer's announcement "has unleashed third-dose panic among the vaccinated," Politico reports. But global public health officials are outraged that vaccine-rich countries would consider third shots before health care workers in many countries have gotten their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. And most U.S. public health and government officials say people won't need a booster shot now or anytime soon.

    "There's no evidence right now that the general population needs a booster dose because we're not seeing evidence of waning immunity or substantially reduced effectiveness against the Delta variant," William Moss, executive director of the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, tells Politico. "I think for most people, outside those special populations, the immunocompromised and maybe the elderly — I think most people's immunity is going to last years, to be honest." He said if a variant manages to evade the vaccines, a booster shot may be needed, but he guessed it will be three or four years, or longer, before most people need an extra dose.

    "I haven't seen evidence that a booster would be indicated for anybody, including the immunocompromised," Helen Boucher, an infectious-disease doctor at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, tells The Washington Post. She said the best way to protect immunocompromised people is to make sure everyone around them is vaccinated.
