Important questions asked include:
What will the effect be if people don’t vaccinate? Will the virus continue to mutate and get more deadly, or will it fizzle out eventually?
if you have your full dose of a vaccine and still get infected do you have to quarantine?
Is the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine equally effective against the Delta variant?
