If your goal is exclusively to prevent transmission in itself vaccines aren't always they best way to do it. Isolation or biohazard suits are the way to go there.
If you require society to still keep working and for people to not die vaccines generally do a pretty good job of that.
If your goal is to prevent mutation of dangerous new variants vaccines are wildly effective.
I'd say just having the last 2 is pretty good.
- hunterb123 5y agoVaccines generally DO prevent transmission, just not this one, coronaviruses mutate too fast, and the vaccines only target the spike. This vaccine can spark new mutations since vaccinated people can get it and the virus would mutate to attempt to work around the vaccine immunity. GPs main point was people's freedoms should be restricted to stop the spread. My point was it doesn't stop the spread. So why restrict freedoms? Vaccinated people will continue to spread the virus, whether it's slower or faster doesn't matter in the end, it will spread until it's endemic. (I believe it already is)
- birdyrooster 5y agoI like the personification of the virus as attempting to work around immunity.
- wolverine876 5y agoCan you back that up? Reducing infection reduces spread, often to the point where the disease dies out.
- idiotsecant 5y ago>whether it's slower or faster doesn't matter in the end, it will spread until it's endemic. I'm not sure this is reasonable to assume. Below a certain threshold of transmissibility any virus (including this one) will die faster than it spreads, leading to eventual extinction of the virus.
