And you write that as an attack on whom? "The news" does not know what the future holds for Covid. No one knows if the vaccine will provide protection for months or for years. No one knows if the virus may mutate beyond what the present vaccine covers. No one knows if Covid will nearly disappear like SARS did or will it persist as a continuing threat to public health.

If the media said "you will not need a booster" and a year from now the data said the vaccine benefit had waned you'd be back here decrying the bad information you got. If the media said "we don't know what the future holds" here you are saying they don't know what is going on. I like it when my information sources tell me what they know, and what they don't know. Both are important.
