[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1656752, member: 39018"] It's OK to be hopefully optimistic about the potential of the vaccines. I mean, who WOULDN'T want these vaccines to be a success? And I'm willing to accept the criticism for my "cautious conservatism". It's all in how each of us choose to "interpret" the words that are used to attempt to convey what they "may or may not" have the capacity to accomplish. However, it certainly appears that there's alot of people out there that have gotten the impression from somewhere that these vaccines are going to completely eradicate this virus. Nobody even in the vaccine development community has THAT lofty a hope for them. At best, they HOPE that they will be much more like the flu vaccine, where you pretty much have to be vaccinated every year, and then they expect that they will have to try to guess which strain or variant of it will "show up to the party" each year, and try to stay ahead of it. Remember though, the warnings BY THE VACCINE DEVELOPERS about [B]"over-interpreting the results"[/B] weren't directed at those who might appear to be taking an overly cautious position............... they were very specifically and intentionally aimed squarely at those who would jump to the conclusion "[I]that they prevent you from potentially carrying this virus transiently and infecting others".[/I] Those are the "straight facts"... with no interpretation required.
