They have found that within 6 months after receiving the vaccine, you shed about 50% of the antibodies, and 5% a month afterwards. Thus the recurring possible infections.
Israel has 90% of their people vaccinated from about December last year when they started until about February. Covid went way down in Israel. Then the new Delta strain came and started infecting people again. However with much fewer deaths.
About 1-9 people in Israel has been infected or around 10%. In the US only about 40-45% of the people are vaccinated and the infection rate is 1-5 people and far more deaths. So the vaccine does reduce the infection rate and the death rate. Now, granted, Isreal also give people Ivermectin or hydroxi immediately if they are hospitalized also.
The bad thing about hydrox + zinc or Ivermectin is they destroy the virus and you do not develop any kind of immunity.
Normally when a vaccine is proposed in the past in the US, 90% of the American people take it. But, with all the politics and control wanted by the Democrats the conservatives are skeptical. Also with all the lies the news media tell us, it makes us skeptical. Unlike the truth in the past.
I think the vaccine works to ward off the infection, even if imperfect and you would have milder symptoms. I also think Ivermectin and hydroxi and zinc work but are not recommended because of politics, even though Israel uses both to good use. Infection rate and death rate in Israel is way lower than the US.
I have had children, nephews, BIL, SIL, and grandchildren get this stuff. BIL used hydroxi and zinc and has no antibodies.
My wife and I got the shots last February and we tested for antibodies 2 weeks afterward and we had antibodies. We tested 2 weeks before and had no antibodies. We paid for these tests out of pocket to prove a point. The shots do create antibodies, but you can shed them and need a booster every 6 months. Similar to the flu shots needed every year, but every 6 months.
I understand the view from conservatives and the right. However, I have a SIL that is a doctor, an RN niece (who works in intensive care) and a cousin that works at our local hospital. SIL is in Augusta, Ga. So I am getting first hand information. Absolutely everyone in our hospital with Covid has NOT had the shots. It is full right now.
I hate to say this but there are a lot of lying on the right side of things now, which is sad. This shouldn't be.
I also want to say I do not believe in manditory shots or face masks. Face masks only keep someone who is sick from spreading the disease. From what I have found out washing hands and sanitizer is 45% more effective than masks.
Oh, the thing about Israel, most of the covid patients are Muslim women who don't get enough vitamin D, because they are always covered up. Israel has over 9 million people of which 1 million are Muslim Israeli citizens who are included in their statistics.
So from everything I have read, getting the shots, taking vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, and Melitonin at night, can help keep you from getting Covid. Simple OTC supplements. The only problem if you do get it, and if you take Ivermectin or Hydroxi + zinc, you will destroy the antibodies as well as the virus, thus a booster shot may be needed. But death shouldn't be.
Also, from ALL vaccines, there is always 1 in several million who may die from them, or have problems, but far more will die not being vaccinated. Trump pushed the companies to get the vaccines out, he also pushed to have them administered free. So if you have medicare and/or insurance, they will be billed first and what they don't cover, the government picks up the tab. The vaccines were ready in October before the 2020 election, but they weren't announced until after the election, thus robbing Trump of a victory. So yeah some of it is political.
