b) It's likely that it is protecting against those. But hard to specifically prove that it's protecting against each and every symptom. I think the hope is that if you don't develop lung issues, you are unlikely to develop long term damage.
- xster 6y agoI was just responding to the GP regarding when candidates are tested. Sure they're symptoms. That'd be relevant if they were following the non-placebo group to test for long-term organ damages or other "symptoms" too. The easier way would be to consistently test all candidates for asymptomatic covid which isn't the case here. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the data here. It seems like we've only directly proven that the vaccine has been effective at reducing the normal symptoms (coughs, fevers) to the point where candidates don't seem to be prompted enough to go get tested anymore. It doesn't directly prove those candidates didn't get covid.
