I could be wrong, but I think there was an estimation of some protection from the first dose, and probably for less time (though unconfirmed by study design, of course). So maybe it buys you a little time while more and more people get both doses and the risk of COVID hopefully goes to “exponentially less than now” levels.
I read 52% I think??? not sure how that is all figured out though.
I think it depends on the severity of the reaction. It’s possible to have a mild reaction and still get the 2nd shot. The vaccines are also shown to be somewhat effective after 1 dose. Pfizer’s was over 50% and Moderna even higher. There’s also the potential JnJ vaccine which is only 1 dose. I also don’t think there’s a higher risk of an allergic reaction to the vaccine based on having one to an unrelated drug. If one of the ingredients in the vaccine caused a previous allergic reaction then they recommend you don’t get it at all.
I do worry about that. When someone is dug in and has spent the last 9 months railing on about how Covid is no big deal its hard for some to then turn around and endorse a vaccine. They view it as admitting they were wrong. I say everyone just gets a do over. If you get the shot your past actions and statements on Covid are forgiven.
It is derived from Phase 3 and the period between first and second doses in the subjects.
The last comment by Iwasaki makes one wonder about J&J single dose vaccine. I know they are also working on a two dose regimen.
I too am amazed about the amount of misinformation out there.

Oh no. I assure I have nothing in common with most of posters in this forum. I'm a libertarian and they are..... well liberal. There are forums where I would be with the majority it's just not here. I do like WDW and I like to travel though so maybe we have that in common. In my real life I would never discuss politics or Covid, but it seems to be where we always end up on social media these days.
Let’s hope this is the peak of the Thanksgiving bump. It’s been about 3 weeks and that’s around the timing some were expecting for a spike due to Thanksgiving gatherings. No restrictions will stop people from getting together in private and we are heading into several weeks of potential heightened gatherings.
I mean that makes sense... Disney is a pretty liberal company.
In some ways yes. In some ways no.
It’s an entertainment company. You don’t have to be liberal to like a Disney movie or a Disney park. I know some hard core politics people who refuse to patronize Disney or Amazon because of political leanings but the vast majority of Americans don’t give a damn about politics.

Ok? Disney seems pretty liberal to me. Which is fine, so are most companies I purchase from (Apple, Starbucks, etc.).
