Expert on tv explained it just yesterday.. 3 shots is actually what you need for most vaccines and is the common procedure for most if you remember..
1st shot "warns" your immune system
2nd shot really triggers your immune system (that's also why most people see strongest side effects here)
3rd shot then makes your immune remind, and massively increases B+T lymphocytesmemory memory cells
So yeah, you can expect a lot from it.
- pcbro141 5y agoThat's strange. I seem to remember the Pfizer/Moderna being advertised as a 2 dose regimen earlier in the year, anyone else remember that? Seems like we'll be on to "akshually you need 4 shots to be fully vaccinated" like Israel in a few months.
- jmnicolas 5y ago> Expert on tv explained it just yesterday.. 3 shots is actually what you need for most vaccines and is the common procedure for most if you remember.. The same so called experts that will say that now you need the 4th dose, the 5th etc. It's now obvious that it's a vaccine as a service. Pfizer ceo's hinted at it last year, saying it would probably be recurring every 6 months.
- swayvil 5y agoChecking out your replies that got flagged and killed. Mob style censorship is alive and well here.
- jmnicolas 5y agoIt's a lost battle, the majority on HN decided to suspend doubt about the vaccines and the crooks at Pfizer (look at their judiciary past, the name crook is warranted). It's funny how smart people can read regularly articles that show that 90% of scientific papers aren't reproducible (so it's actually not science) then will proceed to trust blindly the next scientific paper they read.
- robotmay 5y agoIt's not censorship if people just think you're fucking idiots.
- jmnicolas 5y agoHave a nice day :)
- dang 5y agoAttacking another user like this is not ok here, regardless of how wrong they are or you feel they are. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
- robotmay 5y agoThere's nothing relevant that I can see in the rules other than "be kind". These people are anti-vaxxers and therefore they are themselves unkind by definition because of their selfishness and danger they place vulnerable people in. They deserve no kindness in return when they spout their bullshit on here and whine when they get downvoted. They are anti-science and cruel.
- dang 5y agoThe rules say to be kind regardless of how kind other people are or you feel they are. We're not playing tit-for-tat here—that would guarantee a downward spiral, since everyone always feels like the other person is doing worse. There's also the guideline against calling names, which you've done repeatedly now.
- potta_coffee 5y agoBlind faith in so-called science is the religion of this age. Pfizer's history (and J&J...and every pharma company) is shocking. It seems like a couple of years ago I heard about the evils of "Big Pharma" constantly.
- dang 5y agoWould you please stop posting flamewar comments to HN? You've been doing it a lot and we ban that sort of account, regardless of what you're flaming for or against.

- swayvil 5y agoSure man. Will do.
- beervirus 5y agoThat’s… fine? I don’t care if I have to get a jab every 6 months. I don’t care if Pfizer and Moderna make a ton of money off this—they deserve it.
- nahqz 5y agoThat's cool, you can give them as much money as you want. My problem is when it is me giving them the money (directly or through my taxes)
- ostenning 5y agoNo its not fine because not everyone reacts well to these vaccines. I know numerous people, including myself, that have had crippling heart inflammation after their second dose. I can apply for an exemption but ultimately that does little for what rights I am afforded. People are being left behind, and its not okay.
- nope96 5y agoAnd I know people who died from Covid, who'd be alive today if they'd took the vaccine.
- notch656a 5y agoYou can't possibly know that.
- ostenning 5y agoBut I did take the vaccine, twice. It gives me great anxiety to think about taking it again given what I have gone through. My situation improved significantly but I might not be so lucky next time. I shouldnt have to weigh up potential damage to my heart, versus my right to freedom of movement (im an expat). Personally im holding out for Novavax now.
- junon 5y agoThere have only been a handful of cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in mRNA vaccine recipients, generally young males. A handful. And none of them have died from it. Remember that VAERS is pretty much the most garbage 'signal' you can possibly get when it comes to side effect reporting as there is pretty much no barrier to entry to get a 'side effect' in there - much less the requirement that you're a medical professional of any sort. It has its uses but saying someone died from the mRNA vaccine because it's in VAERS is like saying someone disappeared because of aliens. In fact, I'm sure you can find something like "turned me into an alien" in VAERS. I'd bet a beer on it. Please get vaccinated if your doctor approves. Novavax isn't a for-sure deal, as it hasn't been peer reviewed and will be a long time until generally available if found viable.
- disambiguation 5y agoI appreciate the concise explanation. Is there data yet that demonstrates what you describe is indeed the effect? Or have 3rd doses not yet been deployed widely enough and for long enough to know?
