The psychiatrist Gabriel Diaconu dismantled, in a post, on his Facebook account, several arguments brought by anti-vaccines against Covid sera.
He explained why the vaccine protects, even when you get infected, and how things are about the contagion of a vaccinated person.
The doctor’s message
The number of circulating lies about COVID has long reached a critical mass beyond which most people repeat at least an excerpt from conspiracy theory, whether they know it or not. This includes people who find it difficult to agree on the subject-predicate, but also college graduates, including doctors. And this is because even the most circumspect of people remain vulnerable to their own shadows, subjectivism or limit of the mind. Let’s take, because it’s important, two aspects related to vaccine protection:
i. “you keep getting sick”, respectively
ii. “You are just as contagious”
… .Like an unvaccinated.
The first lie is not really a lie. Yes, being vaccinated you can still get the disease. But things don’t stop there. What kind of disease is COVID? And what kind of COVID do you do?
No one has the patience to read to the end.
COVID actually means three diseases.
If you are vaccinated you make MAXIMUM one. If you are unvaccinated you risk doing all three. Two of which have deadly potential.
The first COVID disease is “cold”.
Yes, you can do this even if you are vaccinated, simply because the vaccine does not “immunize” your gateway, ie your nose and mouth. There are specialized cells of the immune system that produce a certain kind of antibody, called IgA. These, but also the “memory” of immune cells, can only sensitize them to the passage through healthy disease (which, if you have patience, you will see that it is not a good idea to risk). The vaccine helps you form anti-S (Spike) antibodies, which are IgGs. No Ig (immunoglobulin) A’s. AG It’s a difference, not just the alphabet. No matter if the virus enters your nose or mouth, on a case-by-case basis (depending on other variables), you will be able to catch a cold. About me. Some mucus, a little headache, it will sting your throat, you may have a slightly dry cough (that just, no, you pull your mucus, go mucus in the lungs, through the trachea and bronchi, some inflammation you do and at destination).
The second COVID disease is coagulation disorder due to systemic inflammation.
Well, from here things are remarkably different from vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated. Because non-vaccinators, even if they have pneumonia, are more likely to develop thrombosis, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke (stroke), sometimes in the acute phase of the infection but sometimes 2-3 months after they have passed through the disease (function and other variables). As a result, if you get vaccinated, it’s not just a cold. It’s also about dramatically reducing your risk of thrombosis (sic!). The story of the Astra Zeneca vaccine, by the way, and of post-vaccine thrombosis, was dismantled (late) by a study published a few months ago in the Lancet, which showed that the vaccine is just a wheel in the much more complicated mechanism of these fatal thrombosis. . But that’s another discussion.
The third disease of COVID is SARS. Or severe acute respiratory syndrome.
“Severe” is the key word here. SARS is not just pneumonia. SARS is a cataclysmic pneumonia. It affects the tissue that holds the lung together and “floods” it with substances that have nothing to do with it. It destroys the architecture of the lung, largely permanently, and leaves some very ugly scars if you live to tell the story. Or they kill you. In just a few days from an intact lung you lose 60-80% of its respiratory function. You’re basically drowning in real time. Compared to SARS given by COVID, the vaccine is very protective. So protective that it reduces the risk of thousands of times to make the fatal complication of the infection. *
** The second lie: you are just as contagious if you got vaccinated and if you didn’t get vaccinated. Fake.
Contagiousness is the property of the virus that actively replicates in the body. It’s not your property. So SARS-CoV-2 (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) is a virus with a “contagiousness” of it. From here, things get trickier. The “favorite” organ of the virus is the lung. He makes a station in the nose / throat / pharynx, where there is a first fight with immunity, after which you “pull him in the chest” and that’s where the madness actually begins. The more viral particles (“viral portal”), the greater the infectivity. Because you expire it. Because you sneeze. Because you cough it up. A vaccinated person, vs. unvaccinated, has a much smaller portage, only at the entrance gate, and that makes the vaccinated much less infectious, to the point where, for example, if you put two vaccinated, one with Delta in the nose the other healthy, the maximum that can happen is to make both of them a slight cold that disappears in 2-3 days.
And with each one that “cools” the toll is smaller, or not at all.
By comparison, in a non-vaccinated micro-community, we are talking about completely different viral loads. The speed of the spread of the Delta is much higher, ie “its contagiousness”, to the point where it is close to that of chickenpox. Does it break through the vaccine defense? Yes, somewhat, as I explained above, respectively how I live it on my skin now. What would happen now if I didn’t have the vaccine? No matter how black the present may seem, and it is black, what is happening could take on the proportions of a catastrophe similar to a plague, or smallpox, or other plagues that leave behind rows of dead.
The definitive proof of the benefit that the anti-COVID vaccine gives you, when it is made by most people in the community, is how many people get sick, today, in countries with good vaccine coverage vs. how many we have in Romania. That you care, that you don’t care about this thing is irrelevant. What is relevant is the truth. And the truth is that you do not do “the same” COVID if you are vaccinated, respectively you do not spread as much if you have been vaccinated.
