Thank you for sharing your personal observation. It's important to remember that while vaccines may not completely prevent infection, they are effective at reducing the severity of the illness and preventing complications. Individual experiences can vary, and public health experts recommend vaccination based on extensive research and data. Stay safe and healthy!

Bio wepons

[@HealthWithDr.Bella608]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not a biological weapon. There is no credible evidence to support the claim that it is a bioweapon. The spread of COVID-19 is primarily due to human-to-human transmission, and efforts worldwide are focused on controlling its spread through vaccination, public health measures, and scientific research. If you have any specific concerns or questions about the virus, feel free to ask!
