Here's a nice article from AP about the top "super spreaders" of Covid-19 conspiracy theories, and their (lack of) credentials...
At least one of them has been pushed right here in this thread.

The US passed an unthinkable milestone today, and worldwide we're at 110 million cases.
A single jab of COVID-19 vaccine appears to be highly effective
If you are fully vaccinated you can stop sheltering in place

That would be good news if that turns out to be the case. Pfizer described the effectiveness 10 days after the first dose to be at 52% and 94+% 10 days after the second dose.

A notable advantage of the mRNA vaccines is that they can be reformulated in a matter of hours (of course you still need testing, and all the logistics of manufacturing and distribution).

Yes, that was the original data. But now we have an article trying to uplift our spirit :
Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, two doctors say U.S. data indicate the vaccine to be 92 per cent effective against COVID-19 two weeks after just one dose. Original data suggested a first dose only offered about 52 per cent protection.

That will be an important advantage with some of the variants.

ohh, what a coincidence this data shows up just after the labs sold million doses, as the countries believed they needed to vaccinate people twice. Coincidence?

A single dose of vaccine gives people 85% protection from Covid-19
One Pfizer/BioNTech shot gives 85% Covid protection - study (msn.com)
The effective % could be why they have to keep it at a very low temperature.... ? Maybe as it warms up, it loses its effectiveness.

This is not surprising at all. The sample was limited to current health care workers required to also wear PPE at work and in the public (country requirement). Proper PPE usage by health care workers is also highly effective alone so it makes sense it would also be highly effective with the vaccine.
So I got vaccinated about 12 hours ago (Pfizer)...I got lucky that the VA is ahead of the curve here and has dropped the threshold to age 55.
So far so good. My symptoms? A very sore upper arm muscle. That's it.
My parents both got the Moderna vaccine and are close to their second doses. Also fine so far.
Get vaccinated when the time comes.
It's one of the best 
The first dose usually doesn't feel so bad unless you already had contact with the virus. Good luck!
Pfizer and Moderna are both "new" mRNA vaccine technology, and are 95% effective a few weeks after the 2nd dose. These are the highest effective rates of the various vaccines.
AstraZeneca is good too

Vaccines are safe: there's about between four and five per million vaccinations with the Pfizer and between two and three per million vaccinations with the Moderna

Since people are now being directed to post about Covid on this thread only (that was not my call or desire, for the record 
...), I am going to unblock most of the people that had been blocked (there's a block listing at this link from the first page if you need to check).
If you have been blocked once already, just be aware that it's one warning and then back on the block list, or no warnings if the post is way out of line...and "way out of line" will be determined at my discretion.
