Vaccines do not, have never, and cannot prevent infection.

Infection is defined as microbe entering your body. No effect of vaccine can possibly prevent that.

But, once infected, the vaccine will decrease severity of illness and all commensurate and consequent effects.

Check with virologist/immunologist for verification.

And, yes, please more of both vaccination and masking.

@lupus_blackfur@mastodon.world There are literally dozens of studies that measure the effectiveness of COVID vaccines against infection. Please, stop sharing misinformation or I will block you.

Block me if it makes you happy.

What I say is not misinformation if you're willing to learn the details.

As I said, check with virologists/immunologists for verification.

In fact, I submit promoting the false idea that vaccines prevent infection may lead folks into the false security of "if I'm vaccinated, I don't need to mask cause I can't get infected".

That's dangerous.

Both vaccines and masking are required.

Next move is yours.

So @augieray@mastodon.social chooses to block me, learn nothing, and keep promoting his own misinformation.

🤷🤦‍♀️

Hope the rest of you check with a virologist/immunologist, learn the truth about what vaccines really do, and both vaccinate and mask.
