Why would the vaccine only work on people that wouldn't die?
The vaccine trains the body to kill the virus (SARS-Cov-2) when it enters, not deal with the symptoms of the virus using the body to replicate (COVID-19).
Vaccines stop infection.
Therapeutics stop disease.
The map is not the territory.
- nytgop77 6y agomy (laymans) model/hipothesis how this could work. There are two groups of people. Latent antibody bombs (on slitghest signal antibodies go from zero to hero) and antibody deserts (where even at late stages of desease only low antibody counts are produced). Those which easily make antibodies, kill off the virus quick enough to get significantly less side effects compared to the other group. IF such model would hold, then it would be natural that antibody deserts dont produce much antibodies when reacting to vaccine, so there would be corellation between succeptible to covid mortality and vaccine innefectiveness.
