Also the sooner a vaccine is released, the sooner you can dampen the exponential growth, potentially compounding the lives saved. Not sure how significant of an effect this might be, though.
- addicted 6y agoWe still don’t know if the vaccine prevents transmission. So that may not even be true.
- bigyikes 6y agoI didn’t know that, thanks! I guess I need to learn more about how vaccines work. I thought that vaccine implied immunity which implied that transmission is prevented.
- garmaine 6y agoWe don’t have gold-standard proof that it prevents transmission, because studying that has not been a priory. There’s no reason to think that it doesn’t prevent transmission when you look at the mechanism involved. It would be very surprising.
