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

in Deep Dives • 4 years ago

milder symptoms mean a successful "vaccine".

There’s nothing new or shocking about that. The shingles vaccine reduces but does not eliminate your chance of contracting the disease and, if you do contract it, reduces the chance that you have severe symptoms.

That’s how it’s supposed to work.

    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.
