did none of you dumbasses vaccinate your kids?
The vaccines you're referring to? How long have those been around? Are they mRNA vaccines?

I got the one shot J&J and will not be getting any boosters.
Polio, measles, etc. have been effectively eliminated with vaccines.
The flu currently has a 50% efficiency rate. Covid shot looks to be the same.
I’m not all about that booster game.

Vaccines requiring a booster every 7-10 years is not unusual.
"Vaccines" requiring a booster only 6-8 months after initial dose is VERY UNUSUAL.

Most boosters aren't taken as often as insulin shots
So daily?
To me, perhaps it's more like a flu shot than an insulin shot.
I don't get the flu shot annually.

I’m not apprehensive about it. I just need a better reason besides “Biden told you so”.
Looking at data I can see how Pfizer may need one but not seeing the need for Moderna until they change the mRNA for variants.

At 8 months or less after two doses? Which ones?

I’m going to say you are wrong.

Hepatitis B is a 3 shot series.

“A “classical” prime-boost immunization schedule is, thus, to allow 4 to 6 months to elapse between priming and booster doses, hence the generic “0-1-6 month” (prime-prime-boost) schedule. Secondary antigen exposure thus results in the production of higher-affinity antibodies than primary responses.”

If they told you you really needed monthly shots, would you take them and bagger everyone else to take them as well?
Those bootlickers would take daily boosters if Fauci said so!

Immunity, Wuflu, and our best guesses with information from seasonal coronaviruses
So that's why we're guessing it's about a year. Has anything actually changed with the boosters? Last I was reading was just recommended for the immunocompromised who were in the first offering of shots. Which again isn't outside a norm to get them up to snuff.

Just like a flu shot what's the difference

I said this in a previous post.
If vaccines protect from serious health issues (they seem to)
And, the vaccinated get the same natural protection once infected that the non-vaccinated (who survive) receive
...then wouldn’t the smartest decision be to NOT get the booster, and hope that you catch COVID in order to boost your immune response over time?
This is pretty much the strategy of the non vaccinated. They just prefer to get natural immunity and risk the initial infection.

I can understand being a Luddite about things. But mRNA tech is hardly new, it's just new to you. And it's not like these vaccines were cooked out of thin air either. Coronaviruses aren't new. And the last few "we don't want this spreading round the world ones" were contained and studied.
So at some point you gotta stop looking for the boogeyman, there ain't one.

Depends on who you are.
High risk people should be boosted because not getting covid is still better than getting covid.

Is the flu shot a booster? I always thought it was needed for new strains of the flu.

I’m happy to know my vaccine will wear off. I was worried about long term side effects, but if it just goes away…that’s pretty awesome.
Lol maybe the only thing that does not work is its ability to fight Rona, the dude effects could be forever

The flu shot isn’t being floated out as required by the government.
It also has about 50% efficacy.
