But, what I do think the Covid 19 vaccine will do for humans is reduce the number of cases, hospitalizations, complications, and deaths in humans from Covid 19. Much in the same way the rabies vaccine reduces deaths in humans, but doesn't eradicate the rabies virus in animals that don't get the rabies vaccine designed for humans.
Please pass this along to whomever provided you with that misinformation which serves as the basis for a false equivalency between colds and Covid 19.
You just made my original point. I said they won't eradicate covid-19 like they don't for the flu or colds. Not sure why you had to jump in
