The new def has a problem though:'protected from ... passing it on'. In my country we are told even after gotten the vaccine we should continue with the measures, because one can still pass it on (meaning it is supposed that the corona vaccine doesnt prevent infection, but prevents all severe cases)
- astrange 6y agoEach different vaccine may or may not give sterilizing immunity (whether or not you can pass it on without symptoms). It has to be proven for each one and this hasn't been done yet. The nasal vaccines, which aren't approved yet, seem more likely to do this.
- andi999 6y agoSentence is a bit ambigous. Are the nasa vaccines likely to give sterilizing immunity or the opposite?
- astrange 6y agoThey're more likely to work, because they go in the places (your nose) that need to be sterilized. But it's only theoretical.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> They're more likely to work, because they go in the places (your nose) that need to be sterilized. That doesn't make much sense; vaccines aren't topical treatments for current infections but systemic preparation against future infections.
- astrange 6y agoThere's special antibodies for the nose and other membranes. The immune system is incredibly complicated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_A
- Vecr 6y agoHow easy would it be it the future to get a different vaccine course if the one you ended up with was not sterilizing? I assume you would have to pay with your own money, but would you also have to go to a different country and "forget" your immunization record somewhere after you arrive?
