The COVID-19 Vaccine: What Does It Do To Your Body? ASAPScience Answers!

Now That We Have It, What Does The COVID Vaccine Do?
With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, one of the first questions was, “What does this thing do to you?”

SCIENCE! performed a miracle with 3 vaccines released in less than 1 year,

So the next question is, “What the hell is the vaccine going to do to me?”

This is a good question, as all entries use a technique different from that of normal vaccines, and might seem a little scary at first.

So ASAPScience dug into exactly what the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines do and how they work…

Remdesivir For COVID-19, A Strange Case Illustrates Potential Fix:
So one of the biggest problems with the Coronavirus pandemic is the lack of work done ahead of time.

As Dr. Michael Osterholm warned us earlier in the year, a vaccine could have been started 16+ years ago during the SARS outbreak.

Governments continued to ignore the threat even when the next big version of COVID came along in MERS.

Well a strange case just gave us a huge data point for one of the few treatments we have that’s a left-over from a previous virus problem…

New Coronavirus Waves. Two Vaccines Means We’re Saved, Right?:
Now that we have two coronavirus vaccines, and possibly a third if AstraZeneca can get their data straight,

You’d think that the worst is now behind us, and that we can all relax.

But that’s just not true because carriers are still spreading the disease.

Or even people who have mild symptoms they don’t recognize and then turn into non-ironic “Karen”-style reviews of scented-candles!

Because especially for this pandemic, as the saying goes: things will still get worse before they get better…

Pfizer’s Coronavirus Vaccine. A New Hope, With Some Caveats:
So we got our miracle! A Coronavirus vaccine!

What this constitutes in medicine really is kind of amazing.

Even the incredible work done on Ebola was based on elements that had been in the pipeline for years, so this work is like bottled-lightning!

There would have been absolutely nobody in March of this year who guessed a working vaccine by year’s end would be possible or even likely.

But here we are, and although more good news is coming, we are in the phase Tom Petty once said was the hardest part. Waiting…

Lifespan Of Coronavirus Antibodies. Do We Really Get Just 3 Months?:
We’ve recently gotten two more pieces of bad news.

One was that coronavirus can survive on surfaces a lot longer than we used to think, especially in cold weather.

The second just came along a short while ago in a British study stating what many doctors feared.

For some reason contrary to other diseases, antibodies to coronavirus don’t stick around longer than three months.

Pretty spooky. But a team at Mount Sinai just found some more encouraging results…

Covid-19 On Surfaces. It Could Stick Around Awhile In Cold Weather:
One of the scariest elements of a new situation is not knowing what to do.

Virus-hunter docs bridged some of that gap by figuring out and demonstrating that coronavirus spreads through the air.

And mask-wearers everywhere are disappointed by those who refuse to wear them.

But as time goes on, researchers are finding out increasingly-frightening information that makes messy people look even more dangerous.

And part of that is related to COVID also spreading like another disease we’re afraid of…

Preventing Covid-19 Can A Supplement Really Help?:
Until a cure arrives, most of us are looking for anything we can do to stay healthy,

Because one of the scariest things a person can do is to be in the middle of a pandemic without a vaccine.

Especially given how easily the virus droplets can get to you.

So we’ve previously talked about how to prevent COVID-19 with masks & behavior,

And even social-activities that could aggravate the spread.

But other than behavioral-changes, is there anything else you can do? A Boston University team would say yes…

Coronavirus & Home Air Safety. AirSoap Filter To The Rescue?:
So as we learned about in the Ultraviolet Sanitizer post,

Not only has the entire world been turned upside down by coronavirus,

But so has the world of indoor small business.

And Columbia researchers came up with a “filter” that might help before a vaccine.

But what about when people take off their masks and start breathing in the enclosed-airspaces of their homes?

Well, a relatively new company may have a better solution where standard HEPA-filtration could fall short…
