So correct me if I’m wrong because I have no medical training. But is this article from the NIH saying that they’ve hidden the fact that if you take the vaccine and then end up getting covid, that it will make it worse on you?
I’m getting the vaccine for my residents and my family, especially my children... I could care less what “side effects” I get. If I’m part of an experimental group so be it. 🤷🏼♀️
That’s the part that bothers me, I don’t want any part of the data to be obscured. I need it all laid out so that I can make an informed decision. I’m not an anti vaxxer at all, but I like to know any potential side effects.
@blueismycolor and that's perfectly fair. People should know. It's all a risk (get vaccine or don't get vaccine and have higher likelihood of covid infection) and people need to be able to decide what risk they are personally comfortable with. Medical ethics is incredibly complicated. My MIL serves on the ethics board of our local hospital system.
It's an extremely complicated article. It is an ethics article, which mainly focuses on making sure that every possible facet of the possibilities is layed out to a trial recipient. I am going to dig into it more later.
"VADE might hamper vaccine development, as a vaccine may trigger the production of antibodies which, via ADE and other mechanisms, worsen the disease the vaccine is designed to protect against. This was a concern during late clinical stages of vaccine development against COVID-19.[25][26]
ADE has been observed in animal studies during the development of coronavirus vaccines, but as of 14 December 2020 there had been no observed incidences in human vaccine trials. Anti-vaccination activists falsely cite ADE as a reason to avoid vaccination against COVID-19"
