Wasn't this already rendered useless after Delta?
Also...Notice no mention of illness severity...I noticed.

It’s possible to mitigate the worst outcomes. Natural antibodies from past infection are still the best and most durable antibodies. They don’t last forever. But while they do last—a few months or potentially a whole year—the chance of catching a bad case of COVID is pretty low.
So if you had an earlier form of Omicron—say, during the wave of infections that started last Thanksgiving and peaked around February—you might still have good antibodies for a few months.

The good news is that the new “bivalent” vaccine boosters from Pfizer and Moderna seem to work just fine against XBB, even though the original vaccines are less effective against XBB. They won’t prevent all infections and reinfections, but they should significantly reduce the chance of severe infection potentially leading to hospitalization or death. “Even with immune-evasive variants, vaccine protection against what matters most—severe disease—remains intact,” Adalja said.
So which is it? Do natural antibodies or a 4th booster (the new bivalent super booster) offer the best protection?
I don’t understand the incessant pleas for vaccines while they also admit vaccines and boosters don’t prevent infection or slow transmission. The original vaccines and boosters now offer very little, if any, protection against these new variants.
Dirty little secret: The new bivalent booster can knock you on your arse for a day and a half. Then it might take you another full day to fully recover back to feeling 100%

Well you also root for a franchise that threw its greatest player under the bus for telling us stories about his great american grandfather.
So you got your priorities out of whack

Yep - like the virus that makes you swallow your own saliva - nobody has ever survived that long term.

Why is this relevant? I was reliably informed that those treatments werent real treatments, didn't work, and do believe otherwise was to be an anti vaccine radical racist who hates democracy.

I have an idea. Let's shut the economy down and print a bunch of money

Does the natural "viruses mutate to become more contagious, yet less deadly" line ever get uttered by these fear mongering Propagandists?

I said in another thread that there is a bad respiratory virus going around right now in GA.
Not sure what it is. Fever, sore throat, coughing, lethargic, even vomiting, all while testing negative for flu and strep. Probably a Covid variant.

Maybe this is the one that'll make all of the scared Branch Covidians start jumping off bridges.

Well this sucks. I wanted to be done after the second booster but now I probably have to get another one.

Singapore is one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world
