Perhaps omicron drove that 95% number somewhere lower but it is still greater than 0. The vaccine helps all around and really helps prevent serious illness and death but it is not a guarantee.

My take on what Fauci, the CDC, D.C., etc. says regarding the vaccination (currently) is that once vaccinated, you have a better chance of not being hospitalized and/or dying from Covid. It does not say (currently) that it will prevent you from being infected with the virus or that you cannot transmit the virus to others.
Mayo says that 81% of the fatalities from Covid have been ages 65 and over. My opinion is that if it is true that the vaccination might/might prevent you from dying from covid, what is stopping you from obtaining the vaccination? The cost? It costs nothing. On the other hand, if you have had the virus and have had mild symptoms, maybe you do not feel that a booster is necessary. Many folks realize that thousands die of the flu every year, yet do not get vaccinated because they either have never had the flu (me) or because they have survived the flu. Not saying that is a prudent mindset, just saying. Maybe some of us are less prone to infections purely by the fact that we are conscious of germs and take proper precautions? Whenever, I shop and offered a wipe at the door, I use it to wipe the shopping basket and my hands. It's just habit. When overseas, we used a whole lot of hand sanitizer and washed our hands religiously. Just habit. I don't know if arguing over boosters and masks is going to convince anyone, since most of this is new (other than vaccinations and boosters) mandates being pretty new to many. This is the first time, in my lifetime that folks even thought about wearing masks outside of a medical facility. Other than in Japan, where many folks wear them in the big cities. My opinion is that if you feel safer with multiple boosters, go for it. If you are over 65yo why worry about any possible long term effects from the vaccination? And if it gives you peace and less stress, that in itself may give you more time on this side of the dirt. I do take exception to those that wish to FORCE others to vaccinate or those that demean those that wish to stay current with their boosters. Regardless of what I think of this whole debacle, I have no intention of coercing folks either way. A fourth shot? A second booster? Heck, I've had the dreaded covid before I had the chance of getting the first booster. Life goes on, or not. You cannot prevent death, only delay it. Good luck and I sincerely hope that the boosters bring you the security feeling you are seeking. A fourth shot? Wow! Still wish we knew the truth of where it all started. Ft. Detrick? Hmm, wonder if Fauci will ever tell us. Probably be a best kept secret similar to the Kennedy assassination. |

There are millions of Americans who feel they were "duped" because these vaccines did not perform as they were told they would. That is just hogwash. We were always informed that these vaccines will not completely stop the virus (hence the efficacy numbers). ONLY STERILIZING IMMUNITY VACCINES have the ability to stop a virus in its tracks and prevent replification. I posted a couple of articles about that in this very thread. The mRNA vaccines were not developed as "sterilizing immunity vaccines". I can not make my point any clearer. If you still disagree with my POV, I respectfully agree to disagree with you.

Yes, I do recall that narrative. That is when I took off my mask when in public because I no longer needed to protect others. That was a very happy day.

When an earth shattering event occurs and one network does not report it, there is reason for pause. When all others ARE reporting it, then you know what is accurate and what is not. As an aside........you don't think the BBC is not unbiased? I always thought they were the most accurate and unbiased.

And yet, folks being infected now are getting it mostly from the vaccinated. Everyone I know that has had it lately, caught it from someone vaccinated. Not saying that it shouldn't be that way, just stating a fact. I don't fault anyone for making statements based on current information at the time, just that it does influence how folks act. |

I specifically wrote, "PROTECTION FROM THE VIRUS"... What he DID NOT initially say was "protect from hospitalization and death". That was the fall back claim, after they realized it did not "protect you from the virus"... Your pretzel logic is entertaining, but flawed...

I have always stated the 95% number... But you're using it as a cop out... Stating it backs up your claim. Pro tip: It doesn't...
