Waves aren’t getting closer together and no country has managed to keep covid from circulating, masks or no masks. You are choosing to live a “half life” if that’s what you are doing at this point in the pandemic.

Sure, the people with multiple reinfections, long COVID, cancelled vacations, and chronic fatigue are living such full lives. I should really join them, all for the privilege of sitting in an Applebees. The waves absolutely are getting closer together and our COVID response is among the worst in the world. Our per capita death rate reflects this.

There’s no such thing.

Of course personal immunity is vital. Everyone knows that.

Of you have a chest infection, wet cough, yellow or green, ask your doctor for clarithromycin!

I mean the vaccine worked for the first couple variants. Which actually killed people, omicron isn’t a killer.

The issue is that they no longer work but our govt is so bought out by pharma, they are still being pushed. It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe we are giving these shots to babies, or pushing 4th shots on young healthy adults, requiring boosters for teenagers.

And here are these 4 shot people super miserable, everyone I know who had a recent booster was sicker than me. It makes you think doesn’t it


People who have had 4 shots tend to be older and have more health problems than people who choose to forgo the second booster.


Precisely! Keep going, you are almost there! So therefore, there are people who are fundamentally at-risk and those not at-risk for higher Covid severity and yet this basic fact was downplayed and often completely ignored. The masks, lockdowns, school closures, vax pass, mandates, etc. were sold as a Covid panacea for all as if everyone has the same risk level for a severe outcome and needed to endure these draconian experimental polices. This is malfeasance.


I don’t disagree with you. Terminating employment in people with naturally-derived antibodies was wrong. Mandating boosters for college students is wrong. But none of this means “the vaccines don’t work.” People getting really sick post 2nd booster might have been the ones hospitalized or dead in pre-vaccine times.

I tend to agree with you.
was exempt from being vaccinated because of my multiple allergies against components of Pfizer and J&J. Everyone else in my household has been vaccinated. All have tested positive with various degrees of symptoms. I took care of them while they were sick and never tested positive. I also work in a school. So many of my vaxxed colleagues tested positive and were out for weeks while I never got it.


Yeah right

Go away liar

+1. Also, back to the thread title. This disease as bad and if you got it and it only felt like a cold, you are lucky.

In our family my kids and DH were recently boosted and I had mine earlier than they did. I got Covid, none of them did.

Yep, we will too. I have kids and other families who need me—not ready to roll the dice.

"Target the omicron strains once they're available."-by the time that vaccine is created, there will be a new strain. Why keep getting a vaccine for strains that are no longer around.


Near-term mutations (i.e., for the next year) will likely come out of the Omicron platform. The same way the OG vaccine provided great protection against Delta.
