One percent is a lot of people, and there is no way you can guarantee that your immune system will prevent you from being one of them.
Those who are immunocompromised are part of the reason that everyone with no contraindications should take the vaccine, in order to achieve herd immunity as soon as possible to protect them.
1% is pretty darn good odds. The vaccine won’t work for everyone either. There’s. No evidence yet that the vaccine will protect anyone other then the person who gets it.
Thank goodness immune systems work WITHOUT the vaccine for 99%.
People with weakened or immunocompromised immune systems are not even eligible for the vaccine at this point. They may never be eligible; that remains to be deterimined. In any case, they will have to wait longer to get it.
According to you, 20 percent are going to the hospital needlessly and another 10 percent are being seen by clinics and doctors on an outpatient basis for no reason.
Once the body builds up the antibodies in the first month, they should be able to go out and do things in public like forming a Conga line (see story about Republicans getting sick ).

Like I said, there is no way to know whether you will be in the 1% or not. Your personal number is either 100& (you get it) or 0% (you do).
There is evidence from studies with non-human primates that indicates the two mRNA vaccines will prevent transmission. AstraZenica has some data that says its vaccine will.
This is the best explanation on transmission I have seen so far.
Someone I know who is a nurse and cancer survivor got the vaccine this past Monday. Not sure which one but the next day she had a fever and felt flu like symptoms....
This is not a surprise and much preferable to being hospitalized and having a ventilator tube stuck down your throat. Please report on your nurse friend's condition on Tuesday.
The original Astra-Zeneca vaccine reported a lower efficacy rate of 62 percent against symptomatic cases, but it reported that there were no severe cases or hospitalizations. I think the last part is the most important. It doesn't have the side effects of the other three vaccines.
I find it disturbing, that even after all of the publicity, most people seem to think the vaccines prevent you from getting Covid. They do not. They claim to reduce the severity of the illness.
Vitamin D is great for preventing COVID research is showing, but there is one little caveat - research is also showing that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) lowers your vitamin D - deactivates it.
So, you cant rely on Vitamin D to prevent anything if you are drinking US sodas all the time, and eating any processed foods. Most people really dont know all the products HFCS is used in.
I don’t eat or drink much processed stuff but that is very interesting information and I appreciate you sharing it.
I’ve had my levels tested in the past year and am low/normal, so do supplement.

You still need to mask up and social distance.
It's not the panacea you think it is.
The vaccines do prevent COVID-19. The question has been whether they prevent infection or just symptoms.
Moderna has released info on asymptomatic infection which shows the number of those was low in both the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, though higher in those who did not get the vaccine. See page 6.
Boone: No One Knows what those vaccines will do or not do, no one.
Of course they do. The vaccines that have been approved have been given to thousands of people, and then those people were watched to see what happened. So yeah, they have a darn good idea "what those vaccines will do or not do."
