So would it help prevent pneumonia from Covid?


Doctors are clever about not committing fully, but if you read his post (which I'm thankful he shared) carefully, he's saying that even a bacterial/strep vaccine like Prevnar 13 will buy you some time and mitigate shite. No, it won't prevent but if definitely won't hurt and could be the thing to save your life vis-a-vis Delta viral double lung.

No. Pneumonia is caused by many things. These are unrelated pneumonias, and vaccination from pneumococcal pneumonia would be unlikely to have any effect at all on the clinical course of someone with COVID- good or bad.
