Yes we basically need everyone to get it who is willing to get it because we want to eradicate as much of the virus in the population as possible.
Also as a society we need to encourage everyone to get the vaccine and do whatever possible to suppress anti-vaccine hysteria, you know the conspiracy theories are already going to go crazy over this I'm sure.
- umanwizard 6y agoIs there any evidence that the vaccine reduces your risk of getting and spreading the disease? I’ve only heard that it decreases the severity.
- bawolff 6y agoThere is significant evidence that it prevents you getting the disease. That's the 95% efficacy everyone is talking about. Whether or not it fully prevents spreading has not been tested yet, but early signs sound positive.
- fsh 6y agoThe BioNTech/Pfizer press release mentions a reduction in confirmed cases (8 vs. 162), not in severity. There is no good reason why such an effective vaccine should not reduce the risk of spreading the disease. However, even a large phase 3 trial doesn't have enough statistics to answer this question.
