Some of the newer vaccines only require One though.

Are we sure you are not talking about those?

Where is the article? Linkage, por favor.

Is it really any wonder that more and more people are distrustful of the government and the media -- and especially of almost everything concerning what is or is not effective when it comes to controlling COVID?

Who is going to settle for one dose when the company that developed it said it takes two?

2nd dose a few hours ago here.

If one dose is all I can get I'll take it. Yes, I'd prefer to have two.

Health Experts Now Saying Wearing Two or Three Masks is More Effective

Garrison Hardie / Wednesday, January 27, 2021

Since March of 2020, social distancing and wearing a face mask has been recommended by health experts. Now, they're upping the ante. White House Advisor, Dr. Fauci says wearing two masks "likely" provides more protection, and other health experts say wearing three is even better.

“So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” Fauci told TODAY. “That’s the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.” Fauci explained.

CNBC took this a step further by explaining why not only double masking, but triple masking is even better:
How about six masks and a gorilla suit?

All this flip flopping. It's hard to know what's the truth and what's not.

I guess it's the way now, since we live in a time with zero accountability. It's always a blame game.

It's because a lot of people are bleeping stupid.

What has to be analyzed is if it's better to give two people one shot than one person two. If one shot prevents serious illness that might be the way to go if production constraints make everyone getting two shots impossible.

But, yes, it takes an IQ of about 110 to engage in higher level thought. Simpletons can't understand that sometimes you have to adapt.

Simpletons also seem to have a problem with understanding that two masks is probably better than one and staying ten feet away from people is almost certainly safer than staying six feet away from people.

It's not just a coincidence that South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong citizens are smarter than ours and have handled Covid-19 quite well.

Stupidity kills during pandemics.

It is because the relevant information changes or is new information.

One shot looks to give at least partial immunity. It may prevent serious disease and death.

Also, new data may support only one shot is needed if you already had confirmed Covid 19 infection.

This is my situation and I will skip Moderna #2. I had substantial symptoms already with shot #1.

You have to understand the kinetic nature of these recommendations. I can do this since I am a doc. But I wouldn't yet recommend it to a patient.

The political elites have gotten two so naturally one will be enough for everyone else !!!

After all, they care about you !!! Maybe half as much as they care about themselves !!! Maybe !!!

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that about half the people getting the vaccine and the other half the placebo !!!

The Biden administration and the UK government (which has been talking about the same thing) are corrupt and opposed to science.
