I'm wondering then how many people will actually get COVID from the vaccine?? Also ... a second vaccine is needed??
My hunch is that people are going to die from this vaccine. No thank you.
1. Unlike the common polio vaccine(s), none of the
5 vaccines currently undergoing Phase III testing in the US (AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer) use weakened live corona viruses. So no one "will actually get COVID from the vaccine".
2. The AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines use two doses, a month apart. The shingles vaccine
Shingrix is administered this way as well, so a two-dose regimen for the Covid vaccines is not unique. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is undergoing two Phase III tests, the one begun first using a single dose, and the other using a two-dose regimen.
3. On the order of 22,000 people received the Pfizer vaccine (and another 22K in the test received a placebo) in that Phase III test. On the order of 15,000 people received the Moderna vaccine in that Phase III test. At present some 10K-15K in several countries have received the AstraZeneca vaccine in Phase III tests, with another 15K planned in the US Phase III test begun several weeks ago. As determined by the tests' respective independent data and safety monitoring committees - not Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, who are isolated from all test data - with no adverse events caused by the vaccines. So your hunch is completely unsupported by months of testing with tens of thousands of participants.
