    Vaccines will have no effect on patients already having the disease! You clearly don't know the difference between a vaccine and an antiviral

    No, you can't. Survivors have already produced their own antibodies

    Why? It's fun to point out the lack of knowledge of people who think that they know all there is to know on a subject. Surely that is the point of anonymous forums

    Good to know that all those cancer patients that survived our cancer trials no longer have to worry about cancer!

    The coronavirus is not a cancer! You are all over the place

    love NyQuil when really sick, but if my chest is filling with fluid, would rather sleep lighter for fear of drowning - otherwise wake me up when it's over :)

    And yet the Measles outbreak of 2019 did not prevent people with MMR injections from getting infected. But you've made your mind up so no point in continuing as your obtuse responses are getting old.

    I hope we can trust his experts, notice each of them has to praise him at least once when speaking, but they may just be doing that to keep their jobs as they really want to help

    Vaccines are not 100% and your immune system can forget with time, I still get them

    they can also stop the spread if enough people get them

    My obtuse posts? You the one who thinks an antiviral is the same as a vaccine. You're the one who thinks that the coronavirus can be treated the same way as cancer is treated. And now you've written a post about measles as if that is somehow relevant to a vaccine for the coronavirus being ready in a couple of months. As I said you are all over the place in a desperate way in order to support Trump

    You're gonna test a vaccine in an already immunized patient? Sweet

    No not at all.

    I am just pointing out that the corona virus may not be as bad as the common flu.

    So Trump is trying to keep things calm while those on the other side are trying to stir up panic for political gain. So far, Trump is right. I hope it stays that way, but no one really knows. Fear of the unknown is an easy way to manipulate.

    Hey! You almost got something 100% right! Some immunizations do last a lifetime.

    Good on you. Congrats!. 1Applause.gif
