      Vaccine experts, a serious question: A GBD author says vaccinating people who've had COVID-19 is harmful ("For recovered Covid patients, then, the vaccines provide no benefit & some harm. It is thus unethical to vaccinate them"). Is he right or wrong?https://theprint.in/opinion/majority-indians-have-natural-immunity-vaccinating-entire-population-can-cause-great-harm/582174/?amp&__twitter_impression=true …

      I don't get these overstatements. They seem to want to prioritize the elderly—which doesn't require the rest. What are people supposed to think after a professor of medicine at Stanford says vaccine immunity "is not as effective as the immunity conferred by natural infection."

          “with 88 million elderly...not enough doses in immediate future to vaccinate them all for months...” Total BS Estimated 50 mil doses in storage @SerumInstIndia RN. They say they can manufacture > 2.5 billion doses in 2021 (AZ and Novavax). We have many other manufacturers too.

          There were quite a few of them and they were patently wrong. Cov2 has mechanisms to distort memory T and B cell formation. The vaccines suffer no such detriments.https://twitter.com/fitterhappierAJ/status/1297935830414229504 …

          really? not even ebola? and even if we account for the damage it does to t cells? I don't know if that will be the case with moderna's vaccine. they modify the spike to create better antibody generation

          May be that science and especially medicine are not as monolithic as someone likes to portray them? Why should they agree on everything? Science is not at the service of our securities. Science is about dialogue, debate, and sometimes doubts and conflict.https://www.rivistailmulino.it/news/newsitem/index/Item/News:NEWS_ITEM:5541 …
