BrainstormNew from COVID tweets: Prof Francois Balloux (@BallouxFrancois): The Pfizer/BionTech 'booster' discussion is remarkably confusing in large parts because we don't know whether it may work best in healthy adults as a:- 3-dose vaccine- 2-dose vaccine with multi-month interval- in conjunction with a breakthrough infection → https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/145332089666863514213:24
de-factoand btw dont worry about unknown long term effects, such a thing is extremely unlikely (and unknown to exist for other vaccines)13:27
de-factothere already were given ~7 billion doses (!) worldwide, so even very rare side effects that normally would fly under the radar could reveal themselves, hence we most likely know them all by now, especially for the more common platforms such as BioNTech(Pfizer etc13:28
de-factoa few days after the shot the mRNA vanished (digested by the cells enzymes) and there is no s-protein produced anymore, so the desired immune reaction to the vaccine will calm down and settle, after that there is no reason for change since there is no vaccine anymore and the immune reaction just will continue to optimize and also fade away13:33
de-factoso there definitely are no side effects that would only begin to show after a year or such13:34
de-factoimmunity will have faded away by a year, hence the necessity for boosting13:35
de-factoand swollen lymph nodes are a known temporary side effect by many vaccinations, they will calm down so that is perfectly normal and nothing to worry afaik (i am not a medical, but thats the best of my knowledge)13:37
* undefined_bob hugs de-facto (but with mask on and while holding my breath and wearing a hazmat suit)13:38
de-factojust try to relax, drink enough but also eat good food, maybe in form of soups and smoothies, you can throw everything in the mixer and just drink it until your lymph nodes calmed down13:38
