Covidians seem to think every single unvaccinated person has China virus inside of them and is a dirty filthy disgusting hobo spreading it 24/7 365.

I went to a middle and HS band concert this evening. At your alma mater IIRC. Packed house, maybe 10% masked. Are we all going to die?

Joking obviously. But I'm still surprised how serious some people are about vaccines and masks. People freak out over this shite.

Measles, polio, etc. don't really mutate so the original vaccine is essentially effective for life.
You are conflating numerous things here. Mutation rate is independent of lifelong immunity. The measles and polio vaccines do require boosters, though. A consistent vaccination program is required for measles due to its high HIT, and it seems odd to regard the measles vaccination program as getting to herd immunity while regarding the COVID vaccination program as somehow unlike the measles one, despite the estimated HIT for COVID being much lower. The sheer fact that measles is so contagious keeps us from eradicating it entirely.
Why the flu requires yearly vaccines is due to the structure of the virus itself, as a RNA segmented viral genomes confer certain evolutionary advantages for the virus itself, as well as provide ample ground for reassortant events such as H1N1. I don't think COVID is structured the same way, but the possibility exists that variants could differ in such major respects that they could require another round of vaccinations.
But the insinuation that the measles program is for herd immunity while the COVID one isn't seems spurious. I'm not aware of any infectious disease that reached herd immunity thresholds without mass vaccination programs. Why we pretend like COVID will is exceedingly odd.

It's not even a vaccine.
You have participated in enough of these threads to no longer be able to feign ignorance, unless you are trolling you are simply stupid.
First, you can not use a singular pronoun when discussing the US vaccines. There are three of them and they are different.
Second, the J&J is a traditional viral vector vaccine. Moderna and Phizer produce mRNA vaccines. Despite the fact it is new technology they both meet the definition of a vaccine. When injected they each cause an immune response in the body which stimulates the production of antibodies and provides immunity against in this case COVID19.
If you cannot grasp the most basic science of vaccines you simply shouldn't be stating things as facts.

frick a vaccine

If the vaccine is so effective, why hasn’t the FDA approved it?

Landmass has proven himself to be the biggest tinfoil conspiracy boomer on here. Let him do him.

You have to get at least six months of data. Since they started trails in late July, they now have that and more. Both Phizer and Moderna have applied for full approval and it is expected to be fully approved within a couple months.

I'll probably avoid it until/unless I absolutely have to have it. I don't have any comorbidities that I know of and I've had a semi-phobia of vaccines ever since the anthrax vaccine put me in the hospital. It might be irrational but it's still a real fear to me dammit.
