Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

I don't think your theory is very sound. A strong reaction to the vaccine means you have a very robust immune response to the spike protein. That's why the second dose usually makes you feel worse -- it's your immune system going nuts in response to the spike protein your cells are producing.

I would guess that people that have a strong response to the first dose probably have already been exposed to covid-19

How long does protection from the vaccine last?

Why is it so hard saying that?

Of course we don't know how long the vaccine confers immunity, because that can only be determined through long-term human studies. It's quite possible they'll discover we need a booster regimen to periodically challenge the immune system to maintain immunity (and tweak for variants).

The side effects are caused by the activation of your immune system, and I don't think there would be any indication that strong vaccine side effects means one would have been at risk for severe covid-19 disease.

From what I understand, the virus isn't the actual culprit- it's the body's overreaction to fighting the virus that's the problem. Which is why my theory is based on an overreaction to the vaccine.

I don’t think there is any evidence to suggest this. The clinical study data suggests younger people and women were more likely to have significant side effects from the vaccine, but we know older people and men are more at risk from dying from severe covid-19 disease.

That's because the vaccine works, so there's no real evidence that there's a correlation between vaccine reaction and COVID reaction.

I've not heard about the reaction data- other than some people get hit hard, and others have no reaction. Which is oddly similar to the reaction to the virus.

and it's just a theory- the reaction variability of the vaccine is interesting.

Aren't these vaccines somewhat different from most in that they do not expose the person to the virus? Rather, they "trick" the body into thinking there's a contagion present?

I obviously don't have any scientific or medical knowledge to back that up.

Not sure of the total system. It's just really interesting the variability of the side effects, just like the variability of the actual virus.
