Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 14 senior citizens in a nursing home in Belm, Germany have contracted the British Covid-19 mutation, despite being fully immunized against the virus. The inhabitants received their second immunizing shot of the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine on January 25th, they tested positive for the British Covid mutation on February 2nd. Doctors so far have remarked, that all of the patients are experiencing mild symptoms. If nobody gets worse, this could strongly suggest that the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine doesn't prevent contracting the virus and passing it on to other people, but mellows down the progress of the disease. https://www.zeit.de/wissen/gesundheit/2021-02/corona-mutation-altenheim-impfung-variante-b-1-1-7-posititv-getestet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahb 17,213 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Isn't this expected? We always knew it wasn't 100% effective and if you did still catch it it'd be mild. Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkmanthaC 115,077 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 They didn't have the second dose long enough either. They still weren't at full protection that the vaccine can provide. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Married the Night 3,955 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We have known this. It’s expected to be milder if you get it after the vaccine. Please stop fear mongering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always knew it wasn't 100% effective and if you did still catch it it'd be mild. It was expected, however such a big outbreak probably means that while the vaccine causes the disease to be milder overall, they Pfizer one in fact could be significantly less effective against at least one of the more prominent mutations. Which was a point that up for debate. Thankfully, if the next studies prove this anecdotal evidence, Pfizer and Biontech (and Moderna as well) can change up their vaccine quickly because of the mRNA technology it's based on. Other vaccines like the Sputnik & AstraZeneca ones could be less effective as well and would take a longer time to change up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop fear mongering. Where's the fear mongering? We did not KNOW this, we expected it and speculated about it because of educated guesses. NOW we know and have evidence of this happening. And it bears repeating because some people use their vaccination as an excuse to act like an absolute ass. Example: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsn 1,669 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If they tested positive less than a week after they got their second dose, they could have been carrying it even before that since they weren't fully vaccinated. Not that surprising; the same thing happened when people were getting their first doses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEANUS 16,155 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Read all the details before coming in with the typical catastrophic comments. - 2nd shots most likely didn’t have enough time to set in and warrant max potential immunity - They very well could have gotten the virus before even receiving the second dosage - No vaccine is going to be 100% effective, and even if, some people who are vaccinated ARE STILL going to get COVID British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
