A number of individuals expressed their desire for Swanson to get vaccinated and promote other people to get vaccinated.

Susan Ashcraft tweeted, “My mama taught me that the good Lord helps those who help themselves. People who get vaccinated are far less likely to end up in the hospital. Hmm. I don’t wish you ill but I’m praying for those who are acting to end the pandemic not to prolong it.”

Swanson previously compared Covid-19 to the flu. In response to an article from CNBC, she tweeted, “Oh I see, so it behaves just like the flu. Every year a new flew strain arises & a new vaccine comes out for it, if you want to get one.”

She added, “That’s exactly what this whole thing is, except this time they want to mandate vaccines so they can make mo-money.”

Interestingly enough receiving the vaccine does not prevent people from contracting Covid-19 or transmitting it. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states, “Infections happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the Delta variant. When these infections occur among vaccinated people, they tend to be mild.”

They continue, “If you are fully vaccinated and become infected with the Delta variant, you can spread the virus to others.”

“People with weakened immune systems, including people who take immunosuppressive medications, may not be protected even if fully vaccinated,” The CDC reports.

A study out of the University of Umea in Sweden also claims, “Vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic Covid-19 infection wanes progressively over time across all subgroups, but at different rate according to type of vaccine, and faster for men and older frail individuals.”

It adds, “The effectiveness against severe illness seems to remain high through 9 months, although not for men, older frail individuals, and individuals with comorbidities. This strengthens the evidence-based rationale for administration of a third booster dose.”

Pfizer biochemist and scientist Nick Karl also notes that individuals who are naturally immune to Covid-19 will have more antibodies to fight against the virus.

He was recorded by Project Veritas stating, “When somebody is naturally immune, like, they got COVID… they probably have better, like, not better, but more antibodies against the virus. Because what the vaccine is – is, like I said, that protein – that’s just on the outside. So it’s just one antibody against one specific part of the virus.”

“When you actually get the virus, you’re going to start producing antibodies against, like, multiple pieces of virus – and not only just like that outside portion, like the inside portion, the actual virus. So, your antibodies are probably better at that point than the vaccination,” he explained.
