Doctors seem to forget to do that sometimes, or the patients miss it. Someone I knew was put on a three month course and got a unusual sunburn, later I googled doxycycline and realized the likely connection.

There is no evidence that the "vaccine only works for a couple of months". The vaccine has continued to show efficacy against hospitalization and death (severe covid) even as there has been some waning in infection immunity over a

Note however that if you read farther down it does say “vaccine efficacy of 100% (95% confidence interval [CI, 87.5, 100.0]).” Also that press release is not by any possible definition from “early days” nor is it issued by Dr Fauci.

Actually, political affiliation is the strongest demographic predictor for Covid-19 vaccine refusal. Check the actual stats. Unfortunately a lot of GOP leaning media sources including top rated Fox News opinion hosts have been spreading FUD

"natural" immunity would create antibodies and immunity that may be related to non-spike proteins of COVID-19 (I believe this depends on your own body's response and the severity of infection exactly what is generated). The v

FYI, vector vaccines and mRNA vaccines also create t-cell immunity , not just antibodies. It’s not just “inactivated vaccines” that do so.

The vaccine creates T-cell immunity not just antibodies. Also, the human immune system is adaptive. When it already has preexisting immunity to another variant, it can adapt that immunity after a “learning” process, just like how it fights

Not really, for instance courts did examine the CDC eviction mandate and found it was overreaching the language of the law and voided it. I agree with that as the law provided examples of the power it was giving and the eviction mandate cle
