torah>> unless we know it stops transmission-which btw we do NOT know at this point.
several good news on this front in the last 2 weeks:
one dose of Pfizer reduces asymptomatic transmission by 4x (UK, Lancet). This is 4x reduced transmission, at least. (presumably, viral load of those infected is same or lower).
After 2 doses, 10x reduction in asymptomatic transmission (Israel).
Moderna – 60% reduction after one dose.
So, this seems to point that those who are most likely to transmit (16 to 60) should be given vaccine from public health perspective. From personal POV, if you are young and not careful – you are very likely to get a virus (unless others vaccinate). So, even if you have 2 risks – from a wild virus or a vaccine that represents a part of the virus, virus seems like a less healthy alternative.
At the end,
