Why not be concerned now and prepare for it now? The last time we had to deal with something “at the time” it didn’t go well.
Covid-19 vaccine boosters may be necessary at some point. Here's what you need to know
Vaccine makers are preparing for a next possible phase of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout: booster doses.www.cnn.com
I can't stand this kid of thing. This is the top story on CNN's Web site. And it's all about boosters. Yet the entire thing is nothing but speculation. Even the quotes from Dr. Fauci say that. There is currently zero evidence -- absolutely none -- that boosters will be required. Right now, we have documented studies showing that immunity is just as strong after six months. That's the farthest it's been tested so far. Yet CNN makes it their top article that we may start needing boosters soon.
This kinda thing just keeps people worried ("Is my Covid shot still good???") and helps drive vaccine hesitancy ("I'm not doing something where I have to get a shot every 6 months!"). It is irresponsible. We need to be talking about just how good the vaccine is and how long immunity has lasted so far. If it eventually wears off, or a variant develops that evades it, then we can deal with that at the time. But that doesn't need to be the conversation right now.
The pharmaceutical companies and the government are making the necessary preparations. If a booster is needed, they will be ready.
Its an excuse for being a
. Plain and simple looking for any reason to avoid what is basically a juvenile fear of medicine and no courage to take even the slightest risk or discomfort for the common good. Hell even for their own selfish good. I will admit I, mid-50's, having been patched up and stitched up all my life, sat in that chair waiting on the 15 minute observation, with a slight flush. The great unknown. But... its what you do. If nothing else.... for your family. I have no patience for excuses any longer.

Because it's not a concern to anyone really at all. If a booster is needed, we'll get it as those making and testing are taking care of us. For now we may not at all need one, so why harp in things that just cause people to not vaccinate?
Exactly. The article also stated, "But Americans should prepare to have a Covid-19 vaccine booster shot within a year, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday." This isn't some made-up story.
That stinks. Hand sanitizer is good for general crud people tend to pick up in crowded situations
I don’t like the doom and gloom, clickbait stories on variants and boosters. Variants and mutations are real but so far none have emerged that are vaccine resistant. I‘ve been saying for a while now that while it’s a potential threat it’s not something guaranteed to happen. The people who need to worry about them are worrying (people in the government setting public health policy and scientists studying it). The media loves the stories because it draws clicks or views.
. Embrace it...I have My guess is the vast majority of people who see that story are likely already vaccinated.
?!?
I don't personally mind this as much only because some hand sanitizers have caused my hand to break out extremely bad and to the point of burning feel. The stuff I carry for personal use doesn't, so now I know I can avoid the chance.
Kings Island of all places reached capacity today. I've hardly ever heard of that happening.
It is a great park. I'm a little jealous that many of you have such great parks near you and rarely go to them.
Technically 58% of all NJ residents have 1 dose and 47% are fully vaccinated. If you are around adults mostly 67% of adults 18-64 have at least 1 shot and 89% of 65+. So the moral of the story is hang out with old people and you almost certainly will be around people who are vaccinated.
Well the memorial flame wasn't lit one day in the Banshee line, could have started a great rumor of a SoB2 where they've had survey marks recently.pent up demand...and making sure that nobody rebuilds son of beast while it’s quiet.
We’re gonna grind to a halt around 70 here too...that’s a really bad sign on a national pattern. Hopefully nature behaves and saves the day. We’re not Strong or wise enough to do it any other way - it seems?
