Here's the rub: As the 2-5-21 NY Times tells us, "The fact is that no Covid-19 vaccine has been developed or released as transparently as it should have been."

For example, these mRNA vccines elevate antiviral blood IgG (antibody class G), but we have no information about IgA at mucosal surfaces (antibody class A) that is present in folks recovered from COVID, but may not be induced by these vaccines (no data available!). The upshot: vaccinated individuals may still be able to shed virus from their noses and infect unvaccinated folks. In other words, in he worst narcissistic tradition of life in a corporately dominated society, the injected vaccines offer personal protection without referring to social protection. If you'd like more info, see my Medium story published yesterday, 2-4-21.
