OT: Geno tests positive for COVID

[JustbrewitMan]

Vaccination against Covid prevents serious illness, hospitalizations and death. Does not prevent infection/mild disease.

FWIW There’s actually pretty robust evidence that it reduces risks of all types of COVID infections and also reduces transmission

 

[RichZ]

Shouldn't the program be shut down like we were - twice

State mandated protocols have been relaxed a lot since then.

 

[IllinoisHuskie]

I think the vaccine does not prevent infection. It just significantly decreases the likelihood of getting seriously ill and hospitalization.

Wait, are there people who actually do not know that a vaccine does not prevent you from getting Covid?

It’s quite amazing actually.

And really sad that after a year of a global pandemic people still don’t inform themselves with the latest facts.

There is actually new evidence that show vaccines very possibly do prevent infection. Their still studying, but thoughts on that might be changing.

You can still get Covid but the chances of getting sick/symptoms are basically zero and it looks more and more like you don't transmit it to the unvaccinated. Thank god for vaccines.

Maybe that’s because the story is constantly changing. Is that what the chatter at Arby’s is now?

Actually it does. Unfortunate timing for Geno maybe sometime 3 to 5 days before his second vaccination that he was exposed. I would also repeat the test. It may be a false positive result.

 

[Edward Sargent]

There was contract tracing done and he wasn’t in close contact with anyone since he tested positive. And since the team and staff get daily testing, no one else has tested positive since Geno did. The team is handling it correctly.

Contact tracing not contract

 

[Edward Sargent]

And even a fully vaccinated person can still catch the 'rona. Much like you can get the flu after a flu shot.

The vaccine should shorten the length of the virus and decrease the intensity of the effects of it.

I am putting my bet on false positive test results. He had his first shot for a while and should have had enough immunity. Then again there might be the Geno variant!

Actually it doesn't. It lowers your risk for getting it, but does not prevent you from getting COVID.

I'm not betting on anything.

Statistically speaking if he has had two shots of the vaccination, he should have very mild to no symptoms, feel fine in a few days and be near impossible for him to pass it on to anyone else.

But, there is still a full range of possibilities from no symptoms to death. Pretty big range there.

Actually it doesn't. It lowers your risk for getting it, but does not prevent you from getting COVID.

Nuance between "can" and "will".

Also nuance from "getting" COVID in your body and COVID being able to stay alive in your system.

Wow I made it in before posts to take this to the women's board.

No they do not. This is a well-known fact.

• Based on evidence from clinical trials, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 95% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 illness in people without evidence of previous infection.

I got the Moderna and as of tomorrow at 3pm when my two weeks post 2nd shot are up, I still have a 5.4% chance of getting infected.

Lol. You just defined science and discovery, you’re not a flat earthier are you? Because at one point the earth was believed to be flat until it was discovered that it wasn’t, did you say : HEy tHIS iS COnStAnTly CHaNgIng?
