Good try on that title.

At least one vaccine reduces spread.

"The vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca not
only protects people from serious illness and death but also
substantially slows the transmission of the virus, according to a new
study ? a finding that underscores the importance of mass vaccination
as
a path out of the pandemic.

Researchers at the University of Oxford measured the impact on
transmission by swabbing participants every week seeking to detect
signs
of the virus. If there is no virus present, even if someone is
infected,
it cannot be spread. And they found a 67 percent reduction in positive
swabs among those vaccinated.

The results, detailed by Oxford and AstraZeneca researchers in a
manuscript that has not been peer-reviewed, found that the vaccine
could
cut transmission by nearly two-thirds."

It is interesting that we seem to be considering all of these new
vaccines equal when it is turning out they aren't. Once supply catches
up, we may be getting another round of the "good" vaccine, which ever
that one is for your particular circumstance and I still think there
will be an annual booster.

I also think "free" may go away after a while. Like any good drug
pusher, the first one is always free ;-)

You're so cynical. Aren't the other vaccines for communciable diseases,
poliio, measles, mumps, diphteria still free?

Nothing is free. Somebody is paying for it, usually the tax payers.
You really are a democrat.

One must also remember the waste involved in the taxes coming in and the
actual
benefit given. Every company involved makes profit and gov't agencies has
associated costs & waste. The only difference between companies and the
gov't
is the co's try to minimize waste for more profit and the gov't ignores
waste
because they are looking for next years budget increase.

And yet single payer govt health care funding systems cost HALF
what the insurance system costs and produces a worse result too.
