In case it needs to be said, COVID-19 vaccines DO NOT and WILL NOT cause AIDS. This false claim has been circulating due to the manipulation of documents which DO NOT even mention anything of the sort in their original text. Stop the misinformation.
Please remember, the risk of developing aids comes through infection with HIV, which can occur from exposure to infected bodily fluids OR by sharing needles with someone who is infected.
At NO time will your immune system weaken due to the COVID-19 vaccine or any vaccine for that matter. Vaccines encourage and train our immune systems, not the opposite. In addition, please remember, neutralizing antibodies always decline, AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO! But guess what
happens? They’re replaced by new, optimal-matched antibodies that are better quality to variants so it takes even fewer to protect you the next time around! It DOES NOT mean your immune system is weakening! It’s actually getting stronger!
You can actually read more about this here: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…. According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), COVID-19 vaccines approved by health regulators are safe for most people, INCLUDING those living with HIV.
In the chance that you need it because it is unfortunately circulating, see these sources here: aosfatos.org/noticias/relat…
(might need to use translate) and news.trust.org/item/202110251…

A study of 1M+ people in Canada found two doses of any of the three COVID-19 vaccines (Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca) led to strong protection from infection, hospitalization, AND death -even against Delta- REGARDLESS of the vaccination combination and showed NO signs of waning.🧵
Data from researchers at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and the Quebec National Institute of Public Health (INSPQ) showed two doses of mRNA and/or AstraZeneca’s vaccine gave excellent protection against hospitalization, with NO SIGN of decline
by 5-7 months post-vaccination. In addition, a 7-8-week interval between doses improved vaccine efficacy and may be optimal in most circumstances. Findings indicate prolonged two-dose protection and support the use of mixed schedules and longer intervals between doses. Image

Yes, the vaccines ARE effective against the Delta variant. Yes, you will want both doses for maximum protection. Yes, they’re effective against preventing symptomatic infection, severe disease, AND hospitalization. Several studies have proven this now. Stop the misinformation.🧵
Also, yes, this does include Johnson & Johnson. Why are variants unlikely to FULLY evade vaccine-induced immunity?
•Vaccines are polyclonal (Abs)
•CD8+ T-cells covering 52 epitopes across the spike protein
•CD4+ T-cells covering 23 epitopes across the spike protein
Real-world data out of Ontario, Canada regarding vaccine effectiveness (reduction associated with full vaccination) shows:

•Against Infection: 85.3%
•Against Hospitalization: 95.1%
•Against ICU Admission: 96.3%

Delta is currently the most prevalent variant in Ontario.

“Breakthrough” infections DO NOT mean vaccines don’t work. Remember, they are preventives, NOT cures. One can still contract COVID once vaccinated. As long as that vaccine is preventing you from facing severe disease and worse, it IS working and doing what it was designed to do.
Regarding the concerns about waning immunity. Please remember, this is likely referring to infection. NOT effectiveness against symptomatic infection, NOT effectiveness against severe illness. While neutralizing antibodies decrease over time (as they ARE supposed to) protective
immunity provided by memory B-cells and T-cells is STILL present. Remember: Immunological memory consists of antibodies, memory B-cells, memory CD8+ T-cells, and memory CD4+ T-cells. These responses give us enduring protection even against newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Just a friendly reminder. Despite what you might hear, there has yet to be a variant that isn’t susceptible to the vaccines.
Why are variants unlikely to FULLY evade vaccine-induced immunity?
•Vaccines are polyclonal
•CD8+ T-cells covering 52 epitopes across the spike protein
•CD4+ T-cells covering 23 epitopes across the spike protein
You can learn about epitopes here: news-medical.net/life-sciences/…
Regarding the concerns about waning immunity. Please remember, this is likely referring to infection. Not effectiveness against symptomatic infection, not effectiveness against severe illness. See: bmj.com/content/374/bm…

Just HOW effective are the COVID-19 vaccines at protecting you from severe illness and hospitalization even in the face of Delta?

BEFORE Delta variant increase: 95% effective

DURING Delta variant increase: 92% effective

Answer: VERY EFFECTIVE

Let’s discuss. 🧵
Real-world data out of King County, WA (which includes Seattle) confirms vaccinated individuals are significantly better protected from illness, hospitalization, AND death due to COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals, even as the Delta variant surges through the state.
Over the PAST 30 days, unvaccinated individuals were:
•9X more likely to test positive for COVID-19 (65% of cases)
•48X more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 (77% of hospitalizations)
•69X more likely to die of COVID-19 related illness (74% of deaths)

This is what we have been waiting for! A study out of NIH shows heterologous COVID-19 booster vaccinations of Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson induce strong humoral immune responses (up to a 76X increase in nAbs) with acceptable reactogenicity profiles. Let’s discuss. 🧵
This particular study involved 458 participants. They were divided into nine groups with roughly around 50 participants in each group. Those who initially got Moderna’s vaccine got either another dose of Moderna, a dose of Pfizer, or a dose of Johnson & Johnson as a booster four
to six months after their primary immunization. Those who got Pfizer’s vaccine got either another dose of Pfizer or a dose of Moderna or a J&J booster. And those who received one dose of J&J initially either got another dose of J&J or a Moderna or Pfizer booster dose.
