Of course they won't. The vaccines will, however, make lots and lots and lots of money for big pharma and Bill Gates. Below is a prime example of spin for a vaccine that, it appears, is already known will not work. Same as the seasonal flu vaccine. But, after all the hype, fear and mass terror you gotta give the brainwashed masses some sort of panacea.Link
"Desperation for a way to keep economies from collapsing under the weight of Covid-19 could mean settling for a vaccine that prevents people from getting really sick or dying but doesn’t stop them from catching the coronavirus.
Although a knock-out blow against the virus is the ultimate goal, early vaccines may come with limitations on what they can deliver, according to Robin Shattock, an Imperial College London professor leading development of an experimental shot.
“Is that protection against infection?" Shattock said. “Is it protection against illness? Is it protection against severe disease? It’s quite possible a vaccine that only protects against severe disease would be very useful."
So, the vaccines will not eradicate or prevent you from getting Covid-19 it might reduce the severity of it. Maybe.
"As countries emerge warily from lockdowns, leaders are looking to a preventive shot as the route to return to pre-pandemic life. Fueled by billions of dollars in government investment, vaccines from little-known companies like China’s CanSino Biologics Inc. and giants like Pfizer Inc. and AstraZeneca Plc are in development.
At least one of the fastest-moving experimental shots has already advanced into human trials after showing an impact on severe disease -- but less so on infection -- in animals. Experts say such a product would probably be widely used if approved, even if that’s as much as it contributes, until a more effective version comes to market.“Vaccines need to protect against disease, not necessarily infection," said Dennis Burton, an immunologist and vaccine researcher at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California."
How would you quantify an "impact on severe disease"?
Still susceptible
There are drawbacks, though. While holding the potential to save lives, such vaccines might lead to complacency in lockdown-weary nations, said Michael Kinch, a drug development expert who is associate vice chancellor at Washington University in St. Louis.“My guess would be that the day after someone gets immunized, they’re going to think, ‘I can go back to normal. Everything will be fine,’" he said. “They’re not going to necessarily realize that they might still be susceptible to infection."Covid-19 is already thought to be spread by people without symptoms, and a symptom-preventing vaccine may create even greater numbers of them.Vaccines are among the most effective weapons against infectious disease, and prevent up to 3 million deaths a year, according to the World Health Organization. Yet few, if any, are 100% effective in all people who get them. For example, about 3% of people who get measles vaccine develop a mild form of the disease, and can spread it to others.
Still susceptible.. because the vaccine will do nothing. But could harm you. Guinea pigs, all.
130 shots
In their attempts to confront a rapidly growing threat, developers are turning to technologies that have never been used successfully in humans. More than 130 shots are in the works for Covid-19 prevention, according to the World Health Organization.Vaccines work by presenting the immune system with a form of a germ -- or a key part of it -- preparing the body to respond when a real exposure occurs. When that happens, immune proteins called antibodies glom onto the virus, halting its entry to cells. Sometimes vaccines ramp up immune T-cells, which don’t do as much to prevent infections, but can slow and eventually stop their progression.
A common approach to raising levels of antibodies is with injection of a virus that’s been inactivated or killed. About nine of these are in experimentation: One, made by China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd., led to high levels of Covid-targeted antibodies in monkeys.Another shot developed at the University of Oxford uses an innovative approach in which Covid genes are inserted into a different, harmless virus. Those make proteins that are recognized by the immune system, which raises defenses against a real infection.About a quarter of the experimental shots listed by the WHO, including two already in human studies, follow the same approach as the Oxford vaccine. One of the advantages of the technology is its speed. AstraZeneca, which is partnering with Oxford, has said it will begin delivering doses for the UK as soon as September, and will have doses for the US, which helped fund development, the following month.Over the weekend, AstraZeneca and four European Union countries said they reached an agreement to distribute hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine.
Antibody levels
How the shot affects infections and infectiousness still isn’t clear. William Haseltine, a former HIV researcher at Harvard University, pointed out in a blog for Forbes that animals had roughly the same amount of viral genetic material, called RNA, in their systems, whether or not they’d received shots. Levels of antibodies against the virus weren’t as high as in very protective vaccines, he said.However, clinical signs of severe infection, like high breathing rate and pneumonia, were better in vaccinated monkeys. That might still make such a shot useful, according to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.“That vaccine doesn’t look like it’s a knockout for protecting against infection, but it might be really very good at protecting against disease," Fauci told the medical news website Stat.
The vaccine will not vaccinate but it MIGHT protect. Are you noticing all the weasel wording?Really, very good at... Like how good? Clarify that?
Fauci’s NIAID is partnered with Moderna Inc. on a Covid vaccine test whose primary goal is to show their vaccine prevents people from developing symptoms, the company said June 11. Preventing infections is a secondary goal.
“Science by Press Release”: Moderna’s Sensational Covid Vaccine Trials
Notice how the goals have shifted? Now the vaccine does not have to prevent diseases. It just has to prevent you from developing symptoms?
Preventing illness
The US Food and Drug Administration is considering options for a vaccine that prevents illness. “We would potentially consider an indication related to prevention of severe disease, provided available data support the benefits of vaccination," FDA spokesman Michael Felberbaum said in response to questions. “For licensure we would not require that a vaccine protect against infection."
“For licensure we would not require that a vaccine protect against infection."
Licensed vaccines including some against whooping cough have not been demonstrated to protect against infection with the pathogen that causes the disease but have been demonstrated to protect against symptomatic disease, Felberbaum said. The notion of using imperfect vaccines and therapies is “fine," Kinch said. “That’s just practicality. And we may follow those up with more-perfect. There will never be a truly perfect vaccine."
A vaccine that will not prevent protect against infection.
There will never be a truly perfect vaccine."
It took all the way to the last sentence for one little admission of truth. There never will be a truly perfect vaccine- Truly perfect? What does that mean. We now know there has never has been a "truly perfect" vaccine and there never will be. What ever the parameters are for "truly perfect"
