Uh oh vaccine bros, new boosters don’t appear to do anything

Remember, these people wanted you to lose your job over these shots

But they will kill young people

This group is a much larger group than the one actually at real medical risk

Just the fact that the New York Fishwrap posted this article tells you that the Chinese Flu farce is over.

As winter looms and Americans increasingly gather indoors without masks or social distancing, a medley of new coronavirus variants is seeding a rise in cases and hospitalizations in counties across the nation.
The Biden administration’s plan for preventing a national surge depends heavily on persuading Americans to get updated booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. Now some scientists are raising doubts about this strategy.
Older adults, immunocompromised people and pregnant women should get the booster shots, because they offer extra protection against severe disease and death, said John Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.
But the picture is less clear for healthy Americans who are middle-aged and younger. They are rarely at risk of severe illness or death from Covid, and at this point most have built immunity through multiple vaccine doses, infections or both.
The newer variants, called BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, are spreading quickly, and boosters seem to do little to prevent infections with these viruses, as they are excellent evaders of immunity.
“If you’re at medical risk, you should get boosted, or if you’re at psychological risk and worrying yourself to death, go and get boosted,” Dr. Moore said. “But don’t believe that will give you some kind of amazing protection against infection, and then go out and party like there’s no tomorrow.”
The most recent boosters are “bivalent,” targeting both the original version of the coronavirus and the Omicron variants circulating earlier this year, BA.4 and BA.5. Only about 12 percent of adults have opted for the latest shot.
In an interview, Dr. Peter Marks, the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator, acknowledged the limitations of the available data on the updated boosters.
“It’s true, we’re not sure how well these vaccines will do yet against preventing symptomatic disease,” he said, particularly as the newer variants spread.
But, Dr. Marks added, “even modest improvements in vaccine response to the bivalent boosters could have important positive consequences on public health. Given the downside is pretty low here, I think the answer is we really advocate people going out and consider getting that booster.”

Does anyone even care about Covid anymore other than the Chinese government?

Going to be a lot of fun when the powers that be mandate this for schools along with the other vaccines.

Did they just give up naming the variants?

A dude at work just started masking up again

Why? as according to the article, they do little to prevent infections with these viruses, as they are excellent evaders of immunity.
They need to update the boosters to be impactful in the fight the latest variants. Until that point, what's the value of getting a booster?

Priceless...

I’ve been asking them to give me 2 doses the last few times and it seems to help. I’ve only had Covid 3 times in the last 9 months.

Apparently so. We can’t go a day without some nimrod giving us the latest and greatest update about Covid. LOL

I haven't gotten any beyond the initial two and my transplant center isn't even bugging me about it anymore.
