The guy who is saying he won’t get a free booster shot that will offer him significant protection from a highly contagious and highly unpleasant, potentially deadly virus.
I mean if you don’t want people to tell you you’re doing something dumb you probably shouldn’t say ‘look at this dumb thing I’m doing.’
Yeah is there a way to look at all the various policies used worldwide to find the best balance to handle this virus. Obviously the free for all in red southern states are a complete failure. But strict measures used in China still can’t contain it. What are Brazil and India doing to get such low “reported” new positive cases these past few weeks? Is the only option is to isolate like island nations that can place extreme limitations on travellers to prevent importing new cases?
Even in the state like California. Here is a photo i took in studio city theme park when i took my kids there in the beginning of the month. The reality is business don't care.
I’m sure some businesses don’t care but in New York enforcement is very high, I would say at least 90%.
Boosters last a lot longer, but we don't have a booster for Omicron yet. Therefore, we are relying on the very weak protection we get from the vaccines that were made for the wild type. As soon as we get an Omicron booster, it will last much longer than 2-3 months.
As soon as we get an Omicron booster, it will last much longer and be much more effective.
I see 2 issue with that argument. 1) We are now talking about 4th booster? So what happens when new variant will hit, it's not a question if but only when do you suggest everyone get 5th? etc 2) More booster be recommended less people will be getting it. Flu vaccine which is only required once a year and only around 50% of population get it and that was before vaccine became political. Covid is endemic, might as well accept that.
What if it’s the 20th booster? Who cares? Anyone who isn’t a child shouldn’t give a shit about the occasional shot.
We can prevent that, you only need to help encourage people to be boosted and we can end this pandemic.
I think this sums it up well and he’s right - it’s interesting to see people no longer ashamed but positively reveling in their own irrationality. The world is a weird place.
2:1 for VACCINATED people? Can you show me where they say that, or is it about unvaccinated people? What IS the effectiveness percentage of the vaccine on preventing death? Isn't it >99.9%?
When we get an Omicron booster IT will offer sterilizing protection for longer, UNTIL the next variant which is only a matter of time.
Who cares? I do and every single friend of mine who is a doctor does. It's preposterous to pretend there's no number of shots that's unreasonable, and mind-numbingly foolish.
The amount of name-calling is preposterous around here. The superficial IDIOT statements from some of those calling OTHERS dumb is frightening.
Lol mind numbingly foolish is taking precautions to avoid this virus???
