When will the vaccines have an impact on Covid 19
The Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine rollout begins tomorrow in the US. According to one of the developers of the Pfizer vaccine it will be next Summer before the world is back to pre Covid 19 normal. UGH!!! another year unless vaccinated or already have antibodies.
—————————————- At least 30% percent of the world will have to be vaccinated to have an impact on the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the biotech firm that developed one of the world's major vaccine candidates said Wednesday. "But, we will only get a full effect if we reach about 60 to 70% of people," said Dr. Ugur Sahin, the CEO and co-founder of BioNTech said, adding that he expects this to be achieved by the end of next summer. |
The question you asked is when will it have an impact and the answer is with the first dose given to the first patient. And more of an impact when the second person gets an initial dose. With each additional person who gets some protection we all get some protection. It is the accumulation of all these small incremental benefits that finally helps a community or a nation reach herd immunity. But it all starts with one person's inoculation which helps that person and everyone else.

Am I the only one who hates that the news programs are constantly showing someone getting stuck with a needle?
I wish they would stop that. |
As far as I am concerned, as soon as they start distributing it here, I'm going back to normal. I always wash my hands during the day, due to my travels overseas. I do not like to get physically close to people anyway so I always have social distanced. BUT, I have no intention of wearing a mask anywhere, unless it is mandated by a legitimate law. This is one step in the direction of giving us our freedom back.
Thanks to a great leader cutting the red tape and getting this pushed forward, we have a vaccine in months rather than years. The whole world is better for it, because the vaccine would not have been released anywhere else this fast either if not for the leadership here in the U.S. of A. Argue all you wish, but you know it's fact. |

When I receive the Pfizer vaccine, when I finish getting both shots of the series and wait for the required length of time for my body to achieve immunity. Then the pandemic is over for me and mine. I can walk among the peoples of the world again, whether they have it or not.
I have already received shots for the seasonal flu and have been immunized against Herpes Zoster and Pneumonia (two kinds). I cannot get those diseases and give them to anyone. If there were infants in our family I would be revaccinated for the childhood diseases, especially Pertussis, (whooping cough). |
