reasons why you should get the COVID-19

vaccine

Keep yourself safe and healthy


Perhaps one of the most obvious reasons is to keep yourself healthy.
Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine provides you with protection against the
virus, keeping you healthy.  
The initial vaccines are proving (very) effective
The two leading vaccine candidates, Pfizer and Moderna, have been shown to be
about 95% effective, which is very good. The initial goal to be considered for FDA
emergency use approval was at least 50% effective. 

Clinical trials have validated the safety of the vaccines


The COVID-19 vaccines, like other drugs and biologics released in the U.S., must go
through multiple phases of rigorous testing, analysis, and review. In fact, the clinical
trials for the COVID-19 enrolled far more participants than other vaccine trials. The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) closely monitors the vaccine development
process and testing results for efficacy and safety.

Return to life as normal (or at least more social)


A vaccine is the best and only way to return to life as “normal,” or closer to what it
was before COVID-19.

You protect yourself and others

This is not only about you. Many in our society have conditions
preventing them from developing an effective immune response to
vaccination, which makes them highly vulnerable to COVID-19. We do
not know the extent to which the COVID-19 vaccines will prevent
individuals from being able to transmit the virus. However, since they
protect individuals from disease, we can be reasonably sure they reduce
the likelihood of disease transmission. Therefore, you will protect others
by getting the vaccine.

Be realistic on the level of safety expected from a vaccine and the


danger Covid-19 poses
Some people expect vaccines to be 100% safe, which is unrealistic. If
we put the same restrictions on our lunch, removing food that was not
100% safe, we would remove all food from our diets. You must consider
the vaccine in the context of the disease. COVID-19 has already killed
one in a 1,000 UK people. Without a vaccine, eventually we all will
become infected, probably more than once. No serious side-effects have
been found in the tens of thousands of people that have received the
COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, the COVID-19 world is a safer place with
a vaccine than without.

its rapid development does not mean it is less safe

Vaccine development often takes a long time but this is not the case for
the Covid-19 vaccination. This is because it was not hindered by the
typical issue’s vaccine development encounters; the first being little
commercial interest for them and thus less funding, and the second
being that trial participants and infections are hard to come by.

Still not convinced? Then do your own research, but do so in an


objective and unbiased way. You will find the scientific evidence in
support of the vaccine is overwhelming. If this still does not convince you
that a vaccine is the right choice, ask yourself what would change your
mind? If the answer is nothing, it probably means that you reject the
vaccines for ideological rather than rational reasons.

Vaccines will not resolve all of our COVID-19 problems, but they will
enable us to progress to a new normal without the current strict
restrictions in 2021.

How do vaccines work?


Vaccines stimulate your body’s protective immune response by exposing you to a
specific pathogen. A pathogen is a virus or bacteria that can cause disease, like the flu or
the COVID-19 virus. Vaccines mimic natural infections and cause your body to develop
antibodies. Antibodies are proteins your body makes to fight off illness. In this way,
vaccines help you fight an illness without actually causing the disease. Then, if you do
get the actual disease, your body already knows how to fight it off.
What is the COVID-19 vaccine?
Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines,
and the first of their kind. Normally, a vaccine works to train your body to recognize and
respond to proteins that are produced by a bacteria or virus. However, mRNA vaccines
cause your body to produce the protein itself with a code, “messenger RNA.” Your body
sees the proteins it has produced as foreign and your immune system starts to detect
these proteins and defend itself, without ever having to risk the serious consequences of
getting sick with COVID-19.

Basically, when you get the vaccine, the muscle cells receive the message (mRNA) to
make a piece of protein (the spike protein). Your body (immune system) sees the spike
protein and figures out how to combat it, and you develop antibodies to the spike protein.
Later, if you are exposed to COVID-19, your immune system already knows how to
respond and clear the virus before illness can develop.

How effective is the vaccine?


We know that the vaccines for COVID-19 are highly effective (95 percent) at preventing
symptomatic disease. But it will take further studies in vaccinated populations to ensure
that asymptomatic, but potentially contagious infections, are prevented as well. This is
one reason why vaccinated individuals still need to wear masks when COVID-19 activity
in their community is elevated. This requirement may eventually be unnecessary once we
know more.

Will the COVID-19 vaccine be safe?


All COVID-19 vaccines go through the same careful research process as every other
vaccine. Once the COVID-19 vaccine is approved, there are several systems in place to
make sure any rare side effects are found. No serious side effects have been reported,
but the COVID-19 vaccines will still be monitored to ensure that they are safe.

Getting vaccine is one of the best things we can do to protect ourselves


and our loved one from covid 19

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed our lives.

From the very first day the pandemic exposed in Wu Han, China, we all perceived that some bad
things are in routing down the street. We all did not know what was COVID-19, but all we
understood about this virus was that it would have changed our lives entirely and it would put an end
to some outdated behaviors. Some of us pretended that COVID-19 is alike to cold virus and it would
pass soon.

Sadly, it was not the case of this situation. COVID-19 is different from cold or flu, definitely more
dangerous and deadlier than any other cold and flu viruses.

The covid 19 pandemic affected Hundreds of thousands of people to lost their jobs while
many more suddenly had to work from home, frequently in circumstances which
were a long way from ideal. Virtually everyone was cut off from friends and family
for months while almost every other aspect of normal life that would have been
taken for granted at the start of the year was turned on its head.

And now that

If Pat is not lying then Queen is lying or Roy is telling the truth if and only if San is not telling
the truth and Roy is telling the truth.
