As COVID – 19 (will be coronavirus causes the disease) vaccine in the health care workers in the United States began to widespread vaccination, whether or not to vaccinate, American people don’t see eye to eye, according to the Pew Research Center, the Pew Research Center), the attitudes of americans to the vaccine is in constant changing in this year, the highest willingness to vaccination in May, the lowest in September, centered at the end of November.
About the COVID-19 vaccine
Currently, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists three types of vaccines: mRNA vaccines, protein subunit vaccines, and vector vaccines. None of the three vaccines will give you COVID-19, according to the CDC. The viral substance in the mRNA vaccine is destroyed after it triggers the body’s immunity. Protein-subunit vaccines use harmless fragments of the virus (proteins) rather than the whole virus; The vector vaccine contains a attenuated live virus (viral vector) that is inserted with genetic material from the COVID-19 virus, but does not cause disease.
MRNA vaccine
Containing the genetic material of the virus that causes COVID-19, a human cell can replicate the novel Coronavirus specific harmless protein, and the genetic material of the virus will be destroyed. When the immune system recognizes that the protein it is replicating is foreign, it produces T and B cells that recognize the protein, and these two types of lymphocytes can be used in future cases of COVID-19 infection.
Protein subunit vaccine
Contains harmless fragments (proteins) of the virus that cause COVID-19, not the whole virus. After vaccination, the body’s immune system recognizes these proteins (because they are not part of the body) and produces T and B cells that recognize these proteins, which will be activated in the future when the body is infected with COVID-19.
Carrier vaccine
Containing a weakened live virus (unlike the virus that causes COVID-19, which acts only as a viral vector), the virus is inserted with the viral genetic material that causes COVID-19. Once the viral vector enters the body, the cell can replicate the novel Coronavirus’s unique harmless protein. When the immune system recognizes that the protein it is replicating is foreign, it produces T and B cells that recognize the protein, and these two types of lymphocytes can be used in future cases of COVID-19 infection. Vaccines have averted 23.3 million deaths globally since 2011, according to the CDC, but there have also been four vaccine failures in history, most recently the suspension of a dengue vaccination program in 2017. Given that vaccine development and trials for COVID-19 are less than a year old, this is also why many people are on the fence. About 60 percent of people are currently willing to be vaccinated, while 20 percent say they won’t get vaccinated and say they won’t change their minds.
Two vaccines were authorized for emergency use
On December 11th America’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the first Emergency Licensing (EUA) for Pfizer’s vaccine for use in adults over the age of 16. The Pfizer vaccine is given in two doses, with a second dose administered three weeks after the first.
You should be checked for any allergies, fevers, bleeding disorders or blood thinness, low immune function or taking medications that affect the immune system, pregnancy or planning pregnancy, breastfeeding, and another COVID-19 vaccine before you are vaccinated. The vaccine should not be administered if there is a severe allergic reaction following prior administration of the vaccine or if there is a severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine.
Side effects of Pfizer vaccine may include pain at injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, fever, swelling or redness at injection site, nausea, lymph node enlargement, etc.; Severe allergic reactions may include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, rapid heartbeat, rash all over the body, dizziness and weakness. If you have a severe allergic reaction, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.
On December 18, the US Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency License (EUA) for Moderna vaccine for adults over 18 years of age. Moderna vaccine also comes in two doses, with the second dose given one month later, with the same precautions as the Pfizer vaccine.
It should be noted that both vaccines are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use, not Unapproved, and both contain mRNA.
Opinions differ as to whether to vaccinate
In May, 72 per cent of respondents said they would be willing to get vaccinated, with 42 per cent saying they would and 30 per cent saying they might, according to The Picaro Research Centre. Twenty-seven percent said they would not be vaccinated, of which 11 percent said they would definitely not and 16 percent said they would probably not.
By September, 51 percent of those surveyed said they were willing to be vaccinated, while 49 percent said they did not want to be vaccinated. Of those, only 21 per cent said they would definitely be vaccinated, down by half from March, while 24 per cent said they would definitely not be vaccinated, a double figure. Could it be that people aren’t as panicked as they were at first?
The rise in infections at the end of November, and the good news about vaccine trials, have changed attitudes again. 60% of those surveyed said they would like to be vaccinated, up from September, 39% said they would not want to be vaccinated, down from September, with 29% definitely getting vaccinated and 31% likely to get vaccinated. Eighteen percent will definitely not get vaccinated.
The view of the home care doctor
Recently, hospitals in Southern California have been overwhelmed with patients who have tested positive for the virus, and people like Los Angeles County have to wait for evaluations to be admitted to the hospital, which has made many health care workers feel the need to get vaccinated because they are exposed to patients every day.
A home care doctor believes patients can be given hydrochloroquine and zinc to prevent and treat COVID-19, something president Trump has used and front-line doctors have recommended. Some people think that president Trump, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and his team are lucky and miracle that they recovered so quickly after testing positive. Everyone’s situation is different.
The reporter asked a practicing Chinese doctor that TCM has a different view of virus prevention and treatment from western medicine. “It has to be based on each person’s physical condition, and the individual’s immunity can be enhanced by means of medicine or acupuncture. It has to be adjusted as a whole, and each person’s physical condition is different.”
