Vaccines save lives.

That’s it. That’s the post.

It is my pleasure and thank you! ☺️

Thank you!

👏

Just trying to help where I can!

That’s horrible, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

OMG this is great! 😂👏

Agreed!

Massive four-year study finds no increase in deaths linked to COVID-19 mRNA vaccination Data from 30 million French adults suggests COVID-19 vaccines did not lead to higher death rates. Instead, they reduced them.

You’re welcome!

So there is one being worked on www.aamc.org/news/lyme-di...

and death. Make sure you are protected and up to date on your vaccinations. You can read all of this and more here:

You’re too kind! ☺️

That’s so frustrating and I am so sorry all of you are going through this.

I absolutely will and thank you!

That’s fantastic! And my pleasure! I’m sincerely glad to be of any help at all! ☺️

Indeed! ☺️👏

I’m so relieved you’re alright!

I’m SO sorry Beaky. 🤦‍♀️

In this way, the body is trained to fight the specific disease-causing organism, building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if and when exposed in the future. As always, vaccination remains THE key intervention against severe disease, hospitalization,

would have on its first reaction to the actual pathogen. Some vaccines require MULTIPLE doses/boosters given weeks or months apart. THIS IS NORMAL. This is sometimes needed to allow for the production of long-lived antibodies and development of memory cells.

Regardless of whether a vaccine is made up of the antigen itself or the blueprint so that the body will produce the antigen, this weakened version WILL NOT cause the disease in the person receiving the vaccine, but it will prompt their immune system to respond much as it

In reference to the images above, think about why we may call something NOVEL. New Pathogen? Essentially NO antibody. This is where vaccines work. They can help prevent disease. When not enough people get them, diseases CAN return.

This is why childhood vaccination is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT.

When a new pathogen or disease enters our body, it introduces a new antigen. For every new antigen, our body needs to build a specific antibody that can grab onto the antigen and defeat the pathogen.

A VACCINE is a tiny weakened non-dangerous fragment of the organism and includes parts of the antigen. It's enough that our body can learn to build the specific antibody. Then if the body encounters the real antigen later, as part of the real organism, it already knows how to defeat it.

So how do vaccines help? Vaccines can contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body. Newer vaccines contain the blueprint for producing antigens rather than the antigen itself.
