Della on Natural Selections

Why do you say vaccines don't prevent infection? It's true a person can become infected but the chances of getting very ill or dying are greatly reduced. The hospital cases right now are mostly the unvaccinated. see my earlier post today for preventative measures not even talked about in main stream media. (As you may notice, I am pro-vaccine but also am pro-alternative/complementary protocols.)

Hi Della. Thanks for the responses. I read up on the aeronabs link. Hadn’t heard of that before! Interesting. I am familiar with the nasal sprays. Seems like a good idea. I know that the FLCCC recommends mouthwash to cut down on the viral load. Same principle.

On vaccines and infection, I’m drawing the same distinction between SARS CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease that is drawn by the CDC, NIH and others, who advised us all throughout autumn 2020 that the primary goal of the vaccines was to prevent severe COVID-19 disease symptoms, hospitalization and death — not to prevent SARS CoV-2 infection. As Fauci said in December on vaccinated people, “You could be prevented from getting the clinical disease and still have the virus that is in your nasopharynx because you can get infected." https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1337233712317083650

It’s unfortunate that this has all been framed as a pro vs. anti-vaccine issue, rather than the necessity to avoid the two worst outcomes, one of which is Long Covid, and both of which could be avoided by preventing infection in the first place. It is important to understand that the vaccine offers no protection against Long Covid, which can begin with mild, moderate or severe disease, as well as asymptomatic infection, and tends to attack fit, healthy, athletic people in the 20-60 age range.
