No that is not covid they had a side effect , it's the same thing that happens when people get the flu shot , but with the flu shot only some people have it with covid it may happen to most .

Yes, people can get infected after a full vaccine regimen. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are officially supposed to be 95% effective. But that's not 100% effective. So some people who get the vaccine can still get infected. But these cases are rare. The vaccine provides a lot of protection. And there seems to be evidence that the people who have been infected after getting the vaccine tend to be less sick than those who catch it without vaccination

Apparently so. Nobody said these vaccines had a 100% effectiveness rate. Still, they should make the covid less severe if you do get it. Not that I care. I'm not taking a vaccine that isn't ethically made.

None of the Covid-19 vaccines are 100% effective, but they are all very effective. So yes, it is possible not not probable.

At the children's hospital of
philadelphia dr paul offit says covet 19
vaccine appointments were staggered
among staff
because the second dose can pack a
temporary punch
we knew that people could miss a day or
two of work
as the vaccines roll out across the
country many americans are having the
same experience
for me it was the body aches that were
definitely the most severe i felt like
i'd been hit by a truck for like six
hours
i could feel um every joint and muscle
my body just really began to
to ache and felt very sore
um temperature wise i had wild
fluctuations
carney lewis and eric gennard got the
pfizer and moderna vaccines respectively
but it's not just the second dose of the
two shot vaccines that come with
reactions
alex debart a 24 year old child care
worker received the one shot jnj vaccine.

Yes. The vaccine prevents the vast majority of infections; but no vaccine prevents 100% of them.

Of course.
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are both reported to be about 90-95% effective at preventing infection (by two weeks after the 2nd dose), and about 98-99% effective at preventing serious illness.
The J&J vaccine is supposedly only about 70% effective at preventing infection - but 100% effective at preventing serious illness.
95% effective means you EXPECT up to 5% of those fully vaccinated to become infected. In reality however, the numbers are much better than that. So far, only about 0.02% of fully vaccinated people have shown these "breakthrough infections."

Yes, but vaccines and COVID aren't black and white. You are far much less likely to get COVID if you get vaccinated, but if you do still happen to get it, you'll also be far much less likely to have serious and meaningful symptoms.
