Let’s talk about vaccines and the CoVid vaccines in particular. Way too many Americans are rejecting CoVid vaccination, and we are already seeing the terrible impact of their vaccination hesitancy. Cases are rising in states and regions where vaccination percentages are low, the hospitals are filling up again. Their availabilities of ICU, ventilator, and extreme life-saving therapy that is ECMO, are again becoming inadequate given the numbers of those with severe CoVid.
So why do people resist vaccination? The vaccines were developed too quickly with never before used technology. There is no long-term safety data on the vaccines. They could develop a severe side effects. At best, the vaccines are only 95% effective. Many, particularly younger Americans, feel they are basically healthy and don’t need vaccination.
Here are the facts about vaccines. First…they do work and they are safe. Before release for general use, each vaccine was subjected to 3 phases of testing for effectiveness and safety. The mRNA vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer are 95% effective and very, very safe.
Now that we have billions of shots in arms around the world, we know that CoVid vaccines definitely work against all CoVid variants and save lives. CoVid in general and the deadly, rapidly infectious delta variant is spreading like wildfire only in those areas where a majority aren’t vaccinated.
The flip side of the coin: those fully vaccinated rarely get CoVid or silently spread CoVid. The vaccinated that do get it have extremely mild cases, and it is rare for the vaccinated to end up in the hospital let alone in the ICU, on a ventilator, or in a coffin. I’ve studied the data, and the vaccines are extremely safe with rare, serious reactions to any of the vaccines.
Because CoVid and especially the Delta variant spreads silently, it is critical that everyone is vaccinated. If you don’t get the vaccine for yourself, get it for your family, for your neighbors, for your country.
