This also....:shocked:

There's no "anti-vaxxer movement" and no one is stopping anyone from getting the vaccine. I know people from different walks of life, race/ethnicity, religion, income level, political ideology who do not want to get the vaccine. They have nothing else in common, only that.

This veterinarian's opinion was debunked last March.

Addressing Geert Vanden Bossche’s Claims — Deplatform Disease

I also checked with Snopes, because it's what I always do. I found a link to the letter he wrote, read the entire thing, and noticed he just very conveniently happens to mention that the only prevention for this virus is a vaccine that HE invented. How convenient is that?

Snake oil, meet your salesman.

I didn't mean to imply that, I meant we got vaccinations around 4 or 5 month ago, and I do recall that there has been suggestions that we might need to get a booster at 6 months. I will find the article and post it here.

He's not a prominent virologist.

He's a veterinarian who received his PhD in virology. His actual medical doctorate is in veterinary medicine. He's also prominent only by way of self-promotion. He's not really known for much of anything. I mean he made a big deal about speaking at a LinkdIn event in Ohio. That's the medicine world's equivalent of a motivational speaker at a regional Tupperware meeting.

I assume you know that explanation is totally nonsense.

Virus's are not sentient. They do not make decisions to suddenly mutate. Mutations are NOT conscious choices, they occur for a number of reasons none of them have to do with being in a hostile environment. Mutations naturally occur in ALL living things all the time.

Not impressed!

I saw it too.

Here's Pfizer's press release in full:

I can say it. And I do, often. Just not on this forum.

Denigrate him all you want, and if you've looked at Fauci's resume, it's even less credible, but what he predicted came true. When he spoke about this there were no variants, only talk from the CDC about possibly needing a booster later in year if they vaccine's effects wore off.

Okay, a little looking revealed that The vaccine company is recommending boosters, Israel is moving forward with boosters, here, we are still studying the idea.

Here is a link to a Yale Medicine article that discusses it, and an issue I had not thought about, the moral issue of should we vaccinate the rest of the world before providing boosters for people already vaccinated. I would prefer to get the rest of the world vaccinated before providing booster shots here. But, I will leave that decision to my PCP.

Okay, so I will show you Fauci's, you show the vets.

We will be waiting to hear from you.

List of Awards and recognitions

Yes, today in a world overloaded with information sources. Each person must choose wisely where they get their information. it would be my advice that Facebook is the absolute worse place to go to be informed. Use Facebook ONLY for communicating with friends. It is well known that the Facebook software is designed to keep users on their site for as long as possible. FB moves vulnerable people off of a middle-of-the-road position slowly and surely towards the fringes of thought and society - it is like slumming or washing your hands in a sewer - ultimately a sewer of misinformation.

It would be nice if someone wrote a how-to book about a correct way to pick RELIABLE news sources. I feel that many people (as evidenced by this forum) have NOT chosen well.

And this brings us back to the CDC. Some people rail against it. Yet I find it very informative. I know enough Science to know Science changes. And then the CDC changes to give Americans the BEST AVAILABLE and current information. Life changes faster today than it did in the 1960s before information overload. WE older peons have to work harder to change and be open to finding good information. I advise trusting the CDC over trusting Facebook.

N95 masks, with a perfect fit around the face, is supposed to filter out 95% of airborne particles. That is pretty darn good protection.

And here is a list of possible side effects that can be derived from the vaccine.....Boost after talking to your DR.
