Do Not Ever Take of Your Mask: An Annotated Bibliography

This annotated bibliography proposes and discusses whether the vaccines of Coronavirus prevent the transmission of infection and are these vaccines sufficient to return to normal life and not adhere to preventive measures once the vaccine is taken. Some believe that they can do what they like after they are fully vaccinated. I conducted several types of research to be able to summarize a large number of journals and scientific research that do not support the idea of a complete return to normal life.

“Already Vaccinated? Here's Why You Shouldn't Stop Wearing Your Face Mask Yet.” Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, 8 Mar. 2021, health.clevelandclinic.org/already-vaccinated-heres-why-you-shouldnt-stop-wearing-your-face-mask-yet/. This website explains some reasons why people should keep wearing masks even if they got vaccinated. First, Vaccines do not provide complete immunity. While the vaccinations are very successful and the processing time was nothing short of miraculous, they still have 94 percent to 95 percent safety. There's no way of knowing is among the 5% of people who don't adapt to the vaccine yet are also at risk for COVID-19. The measles vaccine, on the other hand, is 97 percent safe after two doses. While the vaccine campaign initiated in the United States in 1963, the epidemic was not declared eradicated until 2000. Also, if people who have been vaccinated may not continue to wear a face mask until more people have been completely vaccinated, the virus will spread. Since being vaccinated lowers the risk of being infected and having symptoms, it's important that we protect people as they wait for their turn to get the vaccine. Even though this website does not have an author or references, I consider this website as a reliable source because it is a clinical organization that have experts in this field, and it has more than 100 years of experience in the medication.

Forni, Guido, and Alberto Mantovani. “COVID-19 Vaccines: Where We Stand and Challenges Ahead.” Nature News, Nature Publishing Group, 21 Jan. 2021, www.nature.com/articles/s41418-020-00720-9. This journal article believes with the passing of time and the ability to develop more comprehensive research, many of the questions raised by the first Phase III studies will be answered. Only time will say how long the vaccine-elicited immunity will last and how many booster doses can be given to maintain maximum protection. Population statistics can help to explain what type of security the different vaccines will have over time. Will the vaccine only shield patients from the mildest type of COVID-19, or will it also protect them from severe symptoms and death? The latest Phase III experiments are specifically targeted at a stable community. A vaccination that has been shown to be effective in this demographic could not be as effective in the elderly, weak, and other at-risk people. Even if children are not a high-risk population, when schools reopen, the virus may spread among students, their parents, and school personnel. The dilemma of whether the arrival of vaccines would be able to establish herd immunity capable of regulating the spread of covid is one of many unknowns that can be overcome over time. However, despite all of the information that this journal provides, and its many references, I do not think I would use this journal as a source. That is because it does not support my position.

Gorvett, Zaria. “How Effective Is a Single Vaccine Dose against Covid-19?” BBC, 14 Jan. 2021, www.bbc.com/future/article/20210114-covid-19-how-effective-is-a-single-vaccine-dose. This newspaper article gives us a great comparison between famous vaccinations, such as Pfizer, Moderna, Oxford, and Sinovac. According to this article, Deborah Walters, an immunology professor at the University of Surrey, is straightforward about how people can act. She explains, "There are a couple of explanations for that." "One is that you will not be absolutely shielded. Another problem is that there is no proof that having obtained the vaccine can protect you from contracting the virus and spreading it to others." Also, immunity takes time to grow, but regardless of whether a single dose of any of the Covid-19 vaccines will offer safety in the long run, you'll only have what you began with within the first few weeks. Innate immunity is a function of the immune system that reacts quickly to threats. Physical defenses to infection, such as the clothing, as well as the kinds of white blood cells and chemical signals, are also part of this. However, she points out that this does not usually deter illness on its own and is unaffected by vaccination. As a consequence, you will also need adaptive immunity. However, the trouble with adaptive immunity is that, as the name suggests, it adapts to human pathogen problems. Vaccines would allow the body to create more immune cells, some of which produce antibodies, in order to have any benefit. This, too, takes time. Although the global roll-out of the new vaccinations is thrilling, it seems that most of us will have to wait a bit longer before returning to everyday life. I think this article is very useful for me to use in my research paper. First, it has a comparison in which it shows each vaccine’s efficacy, side effects, approval. Second, This article discusses the same topic of mine and gives information and researches could help me.

Higgins-Dunn, Noah. “Dr. Fauci Says It's Important to Wear a Mask Even after Getting the Covid Vaccine. Here's Why.” CNBC, CNBC, 5 Feb. 2021, www.cnbc.com/2021/02/04/dr-fauci-on-why-its-important-to-wear-a-mask-after-getting-your-covid-vaccine-.html. This article believe that it is important for everyone to wear a mask even after getting vaccinated. It stated that even if you were one of the fortunate few who had a Covid-19 vaccine, you can try to cover your face so experts can decide if the vaccinations protect people from spreading the virus to those who haven't been vaccinated, according to White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci. “At this time, we don't have enough evidence to state with certainty that the vaccines will prevent transmission,” Fauci said during an online Q&A session. “So, even though you've been vaccinated, you may also be able to transmit the infection to those who aren't immune.” Scientific studies on the vaccines, on the other hand, have demonstrated that the medications are very successful at reducing symptomatic diseases of patients who have been immunized. Both Pfizer and Moderna, the only two companies in the United States to obtain emergency approval so far, have shown to be almost 95% successful at avoiding symptomatic infection in patients who took two doses separated by weeks. Masks, in tandem with other interventions such as daily hand washing and social distancing, have become a vital weapon in the battle against Covid-19, according to medical experts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus travels from person to person through respiratory droplets that pass through the air as someone speaks, coughs, sneezes, sings, or shouts. Face masks act as a shield, stopping the droplets from spreading to others. According to the CDC, there is now evidence that the masks may provide some protection from the virus, but the effectiveness would possibly vary depending on the type of mask used. It's also necessary to keep in mind that the majority of Americans have not yet been vaccinated. However, this TV channel has many points of view that was proven by credible sources. I think it could be a good source to use in future.

Mandavilli, Apoorva. “Here's Why Vaccinated People Still Need to Wear a Mask.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 8 Dec. 2020, www.nytimes.com/2020/12/08/health/covid-vaccine-mask.html. This newspaper article gives reasons why vaccinated people should wear a mask by illustrating Pfizer and Moderna's latest Covid-19 vaccines seem to be surprisingly effective at avoiding severe illness. However, it is uncertain how far they will be able to stop the coronavirus from spreading. The Pfizer and Moderna trials simply looked at how many patients who had been vaccinated become ill as a result of Covid-19. This raises the risk that some people who have been vaccinated become infected without displaying symptoms and then quietly spread the virus to others, particularly if they come into close contact with others or avoid wearing masks. Vaccinated people who are silent virus spreaders can keep the virus circulating in their communities, placing unvaccinated people at risk. The nose is the key entrance point for most respiratory infections, including the recent coronavirus. The virus multiplies easily there, prompting the immune system to create an antibody that identifies the mucosa, the wet tissue that covers the nose, throat, lungs, and stomach. If the same individual is exposed to the virus a second time, antibodies and immune cells that remember the virus quickly shut down the virus in the nose so it can spread to other parts of the body. This article is one of the shortest sources that I have, but it has great points that support my opinion. However, I am not sure whether to use it or not because it has less references than I though.

Melillo, Gianna. “Comparing the Effectiveness of Potential COVID-19 Vaccines.” AJMC, 26 Nov. 2020, www.ajmc.com/view/how-do-potential-covid-19-vaccines-compare-. This journal mentions that when it comes to potency, packaging, dosing, and manufacturing, and each vaccine is unique. Also, this article provides a detailed explanation of each of the vaccines authorized by the FDA. This proves the idea that each vaccine is different from the other in terms of effectiveness and prevention, and this idea may be a weakness where while returning to normal life, the response of some bodies to vaccines may be insufficient to prevent the virus from spreading again. There is no vaccine that protects against infection by 100%, this means that when there are a large number of vaccinated people in a small area, this may increase the rates of spread of the virus among them. It is important to follow preventive measures, such as wearing masks and being careful to keep a safe distance between people until there is a guaranteed solution to prevent the spread of Corona. However, this journal article provides useful and valuable information in terms of popular vaccines, but it is not as important as the article I talked about earlier. So I think that this source may not be suitable for me to repeat it and not obtain the information that I am looking for

Park, Alice. “Do Vaccines Stop Spread of COVID-19? What You Need to Know.” Time, Time, 11 Feb. 2021, time.com/5937868/do-vaccines-stop-covid-19-spread/. The magazine is telling that most people's perceptions of vaccinations are straightforward: you get vaccinated, and your immune system is primed and prepared to combat the unseen enemy in question, whether it's a virus or bacteria. You can't get sick if you're healthy, and you can't spread it to anyone if you're not infected. Most of the time, this is right. However, not all vaccines operate in this manner, and the two COVID-19 vaccines approved by the US Food and Drug Administration made by Moderna and Pfizer are not intended to do so. The efficacy of these drugs is determined by how well they protect patients against mild to serious COVID-19 illness, not by how well they inhibit transmission or dissemination of the virus. That's something to keep in mind as more doses hit more people in the coming weeks. Although the shots are 94% to 95% successful in stopping illness, there is no clear proof that they fully shut down the infection sufficiently to deter it from transmitting from one infected individual to another, just as if the vaccinated yet infected person isn't wearing a mask or holding six feet apart. Even though you've been vaccinated, you won't be able to ditch the mask or start throwing romantic dinner parties with vaccinated friends and families, according to public health authorities. Despite the fact that this magazine does not include any scientific research or references, it helps to understand the fact that why most people should keep in their minds that wearing masks is still an important thing in any time. I think I will use some ideas from this article to arguing in my next paper.

Radcliffe, Shawn. “COVID-19 Vaccines May Help Stop Virus Transmission: Here’s What We Know.” Healthline, 3 Mar. 2021, www.healthline.com/health-news/covid-19-vaccines-may-help-stop-virus-transmission-heres-what-we-know. This article discusses the point of view from a neutral side, but the most important points stand out if scientists can find out how much a vaccination prevents transmission, the effects cannot be relevant to any case or vaccine. Many of the vaccines that have been licensed provide protection against serious illness and death. Certain vaccines, on the other hand, are less effective at avoiding total infection. As a result, patients who undergo one of these vaccines are more likely to become infected with the coronavirus. And if their effects are less severe, they can be able to spread the infection. According to Deborah Fuller, PhD, a professor of microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, “if vaccinated individuals have more virus in their bodies and it takes less of the virus to infect another human, there would be a greater chance that a vaccinated person will spread these new strains of the coronavirus.” Transmission may be influenced by a variety of influences in the community. There are more ways for a vaccinated person with an illness to spread the virus to another person because few individuals in a group are wearing masks or physically separating themselves. As a result, public health authorities are attempting to vaccinate as many individuals as possible as soon as possible. This will hasten the return to “normal.” Although it may seem that we may have to wear masks indefinitely, there are signs that life for fully vaccinated citizens will eventually change. Fresh public health advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is intended to address small groups of vaccinated individuals.

Saey, Tina Hesman. “Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccines May Reduce Coronavirus Transmission.” Science News, 30 Mar. 2021, www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-covid-vaccine-moderna-pfizer-transmission-disease. This article shows a real-world data about the efficiency among vaccinated people. It show that COVID-19 vaccines are around 90% successful at reducing coronavirus infections. Researchers say in the March 29 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report that even after only one injection of Pfizer and Moderna, the vaccines decreased the risk of being infected with covid. The survey, led by CDC researchers, included almost 4,000 health care staff, first responders, and other critical workers from six states. The staff gave weekly nasal swabs for coronavirus monitoring from December 14 to March 13. Vaccination reduced both symptomatic and asymptomatic infection rates. In the report, a limited number of people who had been vaccinated were still infected. Researchers claim in separate papers released March 23 in the New England Journal of Medicine that evidence obtained from health care staff in California and Texas seems to back up those conclusions. According to the Texas survey, between December 15 and January 28, 234 of 8,969 nonvaccinated workers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas tested positive for the coronavirus. This compares to 1.82 percent (112 of 6,144) of workers who had just received one shot and 0.05 percent (four of 8,121) of entirely vaccinated employees. In the California study, illnesses among healthcare employees decreased as vaccination levels increased. Just seven illnesses were reported in 4,167 people who had been waiting at least 15 days for their second dose of vaccine. Since certain patients who have been vaccinated can also become sick, the CDC and other public health authorities have suggested that people that have obtained their vaccines continue to wear masks in public and take some measures to keep the infection from spreading. This reference has relied on a number of studies that were soon conducted on fully vaccinated people. I think it will be a useful and practical reference because it is proven by the evidence and statistics that occurred in the past months.

When You've Been Fully Vaccinated. 2 Apr. 2021, www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html. The last website is providing few suggestions to help people make choices about their everyday activities, when fully vaccinated. Scientists are now trying to figure out how vaccinations can affect COVID-19's spreading. People should continue to take care in public areas after being completely vaccinated against the virus, such as wearing a mask, standing 6 feet away from others, and avoiding crowds and badly ventilated rooms. However, it's important to remember that taking precautions like wearing masks will help avoid the spread of COVID-19, and that these precautions are also necessary even when vaccines are being delivered. Early research shows that the vaccines could be selective against certain strains but not others. This is one of the most credible websites that I used, as it is from the Leading American National Corporation in Public Health, a federal agency of the United States of America and under the supervision of the Department of Health. Since a leading governmental health organization provides advice for taking preventive measures, this may be strong evidence to support my point of view.
