QUESTION
It takes the first vaccine shot 2-3 weeks to provide 80% protection against infection. Are you more vulnerable to infection during this time?
It seems plausible that the body's immune response to the vaccine could weaken its ability to respond to an actual infection at the same time, increasing the chances of it being overwhelmed.
If true, it would be prudent to maximize your social distancing efforts during these few vulnerable weeks. Isn't this an important question?

So your assertion is that the protection goes straight up immediately following the first shot?

If I told you that I am an expert, you'd really have no way to verify it, would you?

So your assertion stands because if you supported it, the support couldn't be verified?
