RE: Covid-19 vaccine designed to succeed, focus to reduce mild symptoms

in Deep Dives • 4 years ago

vac·cine
a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases

If any "vaccine" only reduces symptoms, it's not really a vaccine in the traditional sense of how the word is used and how most people understand the word to apply as a way to provide immunity, but more of a treatment or therapy.

    Agreed, what's the point of a vaccine if it only reduced the symptoms and doesn't prevent the contraction of the virus?
    From what I understand, the vaccine will only be 50% effective.
    Again, what's the point of getting the vaccine if it's only going to be 50% effective and it also only reduces the symptoms?
    It doesn't make sense to rush out a vaccine with minimal testing, no indemnity for the manufacturers and which ultimately doesn't prevent the virus.
