Pretty worried since the father of my wife's kids hasn't even gotten the first shot, let alone his second so I may claim to be immunocompromised.

Not sure what issue you have with immune compromised people getting an additional shot. Requiring healthy people to get the vaccine is wrong, but not seeing the issue in regards to this

You actually think it stops with immunocompromised people.

And those immunocompromised sheep will line right up for their next dose of poison. If I was immunocompromised I'd tell big pharma I'm not taking one bit of their experimental junk, just like Kamala did before the election was stolen. Shove that "vaccine" up your arse

HIPPA!

If the first 3 don’t work, just keep giving more.

They're talking about moderately to severely immunocompromised people, which is a small percentage of the population (according to the CDC, 3%).


So these folks:

quote:

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response


So people who have a difficult time developing an immune response to any vaccine (not just COVID).

Not seeing anything to freak about over here.

I already consider booster shots outdated. I’m stacking full 2 shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccinations on top of my J&J.

Vaccines should not be mandatory. However I have no problem with them recommending an additional booster for immunocompromised patients. There are plenty of reasons to be upset about regarding COVID, but this isn’t one of them

Damn that’s higher than the COVID death rate. Why are we not freaking out again?!

Until you need the 4th one to be considered fully vaxxed. How can people not see this a mile away?

I don't know why they didn't just admit this would be a yearly booster from the onset. They clearly knew it would be a real possibility because the COVID card you get has additional lines past the first two slots for the initial two shots

Serious question.

Are there actually people who think that they won’t need boosters after the 3rd shot?

I would assume the answer is no. At this point, if you decide to get the 3rd shot you are basically making a decision to get a booster every 6 months.
