I remember early last year when the news was showing people walking down the street in China and just dropping dead. They literally showed people strolling along and then dropping to the ground and dying and they claimed it was from covid.
Some of this is a mental thing too. I hope you have a great trip when you go!

If we need boosters let’s get it done.Evidence that the effect of vaccines begin to wane after 6-12 months?
Yes, it was the subject of an Israeli study which forms the basis of the Pfizer conclusion. It’s also why the CDC/FDA has said we don’t need boosters YET. (Very few Americans have had their vaccination for under 6 months).
Delta Variant Key to Breakthrough Infections in Vaccinated Israelis
The country's Ministry of Health released figures on how well the Pfizer vaccine prevents mild and severe COVID-19 in the era of circulating Delta variant.
[Important to note, we are just at the start of understanding how long vaccine effectiveness will remain. It requires real world observation — so we won’t truly know whether the vaccine is still effective after 12 months… until it’s been 12 months for millions of people. But so far, evidence does suggest a waning effect against the newer variants]
Saying we may need boosters is not “the sky is falling”— it’s simple acknowledgment of the evolving science and changes in the disease. We’ve always known there was a likelihood that boosters will be necessary.
and yes, there have been huge numbers of reinfection from new variants - it was all over the news - in India and Brazil. Americans seem to only focus on things that are happening here.
“the variant reinfected many who had been infected in the first wave in India.”
I've got cute rabbits living below my backyard deck. I still don't like to eat anything rabbit.
It just feels wrong for some reason.
Why has reinfections not occurred in Britain, or Israel? It’s the same varient as India, shouldn’t it do the same? Perhaps there is a confounding factor, Brazil and India were under testing in the first wave, there’s a good chance a lot of those “reinfections” weren’t reinfections, or the result of a false positive. And you posted the study by Pfizer about boosters, you know the one that contradicts dozens of studies saying otherwise and financed by a company who could benefit from its findings. Again the future is uncertain, and there is not a consensus yet, we need more time, data and studies and it’s of benefit to no one to go back in a bunker yet.Evidence that the effect of vaccines begin to wane after 6-12 months?

There are generally no basements in homes when one lives in FL
When people make ridiculous fear mongering claims expect a ridiculous response.
If you are vaccinated the don't wear the thing that stops your freedom.
Slowing the spread until *all* ages have access to a vaccine.
Ahhh, you’re ever the pessimist. So far there is no concrete evidence that natural or vaccine based immunity fades that fast. It’s your theory (hope?) that it does but so far in all the actual studies done natural immunity has held for over a year. We are coming up on a full year for the vaccine trial participants and so far there hasn’t been any evidence released showing the vaccine effectiveness has faded. Your narrative now sounds a lot like the Covid denial crowd who said we will never reach herd immunity or have an effective vaccine so we just need to learn to live with the virus. Maybe they were right??? It saddens me to see how many people want to downplay or dismiss the power and effectiveness of these vaccines. It is what it is and it shouldn’t surprise me anymore.
Accordingly to the CDC .01 percent of children infected have died of corona virus.
is millions of people which have already had COVID-19 in US will also getting reinfecting too?
Honestly, if you believe this new narrative that the vaccines only last months and natural immunity fades fast I agree 100%. If that’s the case we just need to learn to live with Covid and as long as hospitals aren’t overrun we’re good. I don’t believe that’s reality at all, but if it is then yes there’s little point in any of it.
