@Victoria33 Perhaps a silly question here -- but looking at his age; 20-30, if the vaccine works on someone that young, it would seem that there could be a possibility that he wouldn't be as negatively impacted by the virus as someone in their 60's or 70's???
They may come up with a vaccine, but there are 30 different strains of this virus ... I just don't see that there is going to be a vaccine that will immunize against all the strains out there. Just like the flu -- the efficacy of the vaccine is hit or miss every year.
@libertybele Yes, they are using younger people so if the vaccine does not work, the person "likely" won't die from the virus. I did not know there are 30 strains of this virus. Can you tell me where to find this information?
I haven't had a flu shot since many years ago. They make my arm swell, turn red and have fever in the arm. One time I was given a tetanus shot and the same thing happened. I was told never to have another one. There is a newer pneumonia shot and my doc said I could have that one and he gave me the shot and I didn't have a problem.
I am allergic to iodine in any form. Long time ago, in a hospital, they put a tiny amount of iodine under my skin on my right arm. Later, nurse came by and looked at the spot. She said, "I've never seen one like this before." The iodine had eaten flesh down into my arm. It was so deep it had to heal from the inside out. I have a permanent scar there as the pigment was destroyed. I am totally allergic to fish from the sea due to their having iodine inside them - shrimp, clam, crab. My skin turns red, I have chills for three days, and am nauseous those three days. I have a special pill to take if I accidently eat something that has iodine in it.
