← Return to Less vaccine protection leading to a false sense of security

@bosco17 I think if people are aware that the protection the vaccine is giving them is less due to their being on immunosuppressants then they hopefully will not get a false sense of protection. It's important that immunocompromised people are aware of that. I plan to have an antibody test myself. The study results released by Johns Hopkins at this point are after one shot. I had my second shot over a month ago so I am hoping that my response has improved over what they saw in the study after the first shot.

I think the bigger danger lies in them seeing others finally able to do more and then they too will follow along. I am dealing with that myself right now. It's very discouraging but from what I have heard, for us to be somewhat safe we need to wait until more people are vaccinated, preferably until we reach "herd immunity", if that is possible. Hopefully, those who have vaccine hesitancy will finally realize that they don't need to be concerned and choose to get a vaccine, protecting themselves and contributing to protecting others.

Here is a link to an article about some of the myths surrounding the vaccine for those who have "vaccine hesitancy" for whatever reasons. I think it really explains the inaccuracy of these myths that have been propagated by a small group of people for whatever reason. I put this in another response a day or two ago in a conversation about the vaccine. I think it answers pretty much all of the questions and concerns that people have.

Have you gotten the vaccine yet?

The question should be how does the integration of the two drugs effect you. I read a study yesterday by A transplant peer review journal that seems to suggest that some anti rejection drugs my lessen the severity of covid 19 in transplant patients. 3 out of 8 in the study in Switzerland. The two that were left on anti rejection drugs faired well while the other 5 transplant covid patients were chronic or deceased. That led the doctors to think there is a therapeutic use for the drugs

" Firstly, it is known that a number of viruses use active immunophilin pathways during their life cycle, and that CNIs may inhibit viral replication in vitro.9,10 Cyclosporine, for example, has been shown to inhibit the replication of several coronaviruses in vitro at noncytotoxic concentrations and independently of its immunosuppressive effect.10,11".
