        Does this apply to Chinese vaccines? 😕 Our corrupt government forces most of us to have Sinovac.

        Could I ask you what do you think about delaying the second dose, as suggested in this @DFisman thread?https://twitter.com/DFisman/status/1367104061158391808?s=19 …

        On the issue of increasing the dosing interval for mRNA vaccines (limiting this to mRNA vaccines), we: a. Have good observational evidence now that there is at least short term protection after first dose.

        At this point, given the evidence at hand, I think there are pros and cons to both approaches - there is substantial protection from the initial dose, but much greater protection from the second. That being said, as @DFisman points out, at a population scale it's a balance

        There is serious reasons to doubt that #COVID19 vaccins are effective in stopping virus transmission. 1. Mechanism most likely IgA 2. 20% does not make IgA 3. IgA disappears after 3 months https://hartblik.weebly.com/special-immunity.html … https://hartblik.weebly.com/vaccination.html …
