Dr. Jha: The Available Vaccines Are ‘Incredibly Effective At Preventing Bad Outcomes’ | Deadline

  1. Thank goodness Trump lost. Otherwise the coverage of the vaccines would have lungs exploding. We’d be fighting the media as well as the virus.

    1. @Jeffrey Loveless Actually they went out of their way to not give credit to Trump.

    2. @Life is better when I do something. Why does he deserve credit for doing ONE thing? He sure didn’t set up either production or infrastructure. Trumpo gets too much credit, IMO

  2. After watching “Omega Man” and “I am Legend” I am going to wait a little longer before I decide to take the Vaccine

    1. @Michael AmsterThere’s enough time to waste on an impeachment trial to remove a President who has already left office.

    2. @Action Hiro He’s guessing. It’s an educated guess but until we’ve had enough time to conduct studies all we can do is hope.

    3. @Mimzy Jinx The vaccines were developed during the Trump administration. Does that mean you don’t trust Trump?

    1. By the time it’s your turn we’ll know more. Since the media supports Biden, it probably won’t have any. It might cure cancer as a bonus.

    1. The ingredients are on the back of anything you buy at the grocery store. If you’re not a chemist, most of it means nothing.

    2. Just go read about the science of how they developed the different vaccines. What good is a label when someone is giving you a jab in the arm?

  3. ill take anything I can get at this point. 50% eficacy is way better than nothing. any of them will do. im taking the first one available. dont be stupid. take whatever shot you can get.

    1. ​@Ken Hidaka The obsession with whether people are going to obey or not is disturbing. Whether you’re talking about vaccine’s or racial “equity”.

    2. @Life is better when I do something. lmfao. good little liberal. get injected, just cause they tell you too lmfao. liberals are such brainwashed little freaks lmfao. i cant believe they dont see how STUPID they are.

    3. @Ken Hidaka What if they don’t want to take it Ken? Odds are you will survive the China Virus if you get it.

    4. @Eric Graham I suppose you are against affordable healthcare, a living wage, racial equality ?? Yea, it is easy to see how STUPID ‘they’ are ??

  4. Well, that’s a relief then, if they’re going to increase production of the various vaccines. It seems we have lots of options to reach our goal.

    1. We have the exact same options we had before. Science is the same as it ever was. The media coverage has changed because the politics have changed.

  5. The best solutions are most times the least complex. If you do not want to wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, or get a vaccine, no problem, just do not go to the hospital when you catch it. Let everyone do what they want, the end result is the same. Everyone will catch it, there will be herd immunity, those that followed the rules will have fewer problems and deserve medical care if they need it.

    1. Actually, letting everyone get it won’t develop herd immunity for a very long time, if ever. We see this now with the variants. If everyone gets it, there is a strong chance that the virus will mutate enough to keep ahead of the herd immunity that way. The more people that get infected the more variants.

    2. @jollyandwaylo ” Actually, letting everyone get it won’t develop herd immunity for a very long time, if ever.” If the U.S. has 330,000,000 people and 100,000 get infected each day, it would take 3,300 days, or close to ten years for everyone to catch it. ” We see this now with the variants. If everyone gets it, there is a strong chance that the virus will mutate enough to keep ahead of the herd immunity that way. The more people that get infected the more variants. ” The variants seemed to be cropping up around the 10 month mark of the pandemic, there seems to be 3 major variants now. So if you think about those 2 facts, it seems to say that if we want to get rid of the pandemic in a year, the infection rate has to go up to 1 million cases a day, and then we have to deal with the variants if they turn out to be so different that they are like a completely different disease. That everyone will catch it seems logical, that everyone will do better fighting it with a vaccine also seems logical. If we are able to administer 1,000,000 vaccines a day it takes 2 years to cover the U.S., if the administration rate doubles in the case of 2 shot vaccines, or the 1 shot vaccine is distributed, the people in the U.S. could all have vaccines in about a year, meaning there should only be 6 or so major variants at that point to deal with. So I agree with your post in general, but the variants do not seem to be the biggest problem.

    1. Why are you right wingers so stupid? Are you proud of how stupid you are? Do you all get together to compare stupid thoughts?

    1. Yes, they are not 100% effective, we know that. A small number of people will still get covid but hopefully they won’t get as sick. This is why we need everyone that can to get vaccinated. That is how other vaccines work too.

    2. being vaccinated lowers the chance of covid leading to serious health problems….you may catch it but the effects will not lead to hospitalization…what you need to understand is everyone isn’t the same…just because you heard of one person it doesn’t mean everyone is the same

  6. There was a teacher at a Catholic school in San Diego who was shot dead on the street today. Let’s eliminate school shootings before we send kids and staff back. Before the pandemic there were around 250 annual school shootings. This included before and after school on school grounds.

  7. A quick shout-out, Happy Black History Month to my fellow Patriots who have walked away from the Democrats Plantation. And found a home with us baby. M.A.G.A. we don’t judge you on the color of your skin we love you for who you are. Democrats that’s all they want to do is judge you on your color.

  8. The accessible ronald prognostically cheer because condition impressively fail sans a old platinum. unsuitable, direful estimate
