Or someone can look at studies performed in the UK, Israel and the US, take that data, compare the results and if they differ use his own common sense to decide which is best for him. I know you realize the "experts" have not only contradicted each other, but themselves. Some are happy to follow the governments appointed leader, others like to read as much info as they can and decide what is best for their specific circumstance. It really is not that difficult to read several different studies and viewpoints. Even someone whose standard is to follow Fauci (Blessed be Fauci) reads the study (true only one) and decide to go with it. He/she does not actually duplicate the study.

If they held at least a masters degree in mathematics, with a concentration in statistics and experience collating data from multiple scientific and medical studies, I would be inclined to give that person credibility.

Anyone relying on their own "common sense" is deluding themselves

PS: I can prescribe the appropriate medication for a person suffering from such a delusion

PPS: I have no idea why I get dragged into debates with rank amateurs

Were you dragged? Seems like you charge in on your own will. I will not "hint" at my degrees, that is so common and sophomoric .

We then went to Mallory country club for dinner and no one was wearing a mask.

Today I read that the Phizor Covid vaccination are quickly losing their effectiveness after 6 months Wasn't the delay in getting approval due to FDA requirements to insure that longer range effectiveness was achieved? Is this the same as Moderna and J & J?

Is the Booster shot approved by FDA? How long is it effective.

Is actual occurrence of COVID 19 providing better protection than the inoculations? If so , why does that not allow for continuance of work rather than firing for not getting inoculation?

Not a lot of clear informed instruction and communication.

If you didn't know masks are required in airports you must have been living under a rock.

Booster is available for those over 65.

Crossing the border from Canada to the USA is like being in two different worlds - masks in Canada, few masks in the USA. I know the world I prefer!

Oh please, be common and sophomoric. I'm sure most of those who posted on this thread would be interested in the qualifications needed to make some of the statements that were made. Or is it all "common sense"?????

I don't think it's better to get the disease, even though I contracted Covid (from a patient), some 20 months ago... When the vaccine came out (almost a year later), after consulting with my physician, I went ahead and had the two shots (Moderna).

But I do think my natural antibodies will last longer and be more effective than the vaccine (per the Israeli studies)...

I was luck. I had an EXTREMELY mild case (only 36 hrs of a low grade (99.5°) fever, mild body aches, chills and a slight cough). I was tired for a few days afterwards.

Even with that, I would never suggest that it's better to roll the dice and get Covid, rather than get the vaccine...

Will I get a booster? I dunno'... I'll see what the literature shows when and if Moderna is approved for a booster shot...

My experience has shown me degrees do not automatically give one common sense. Some of the most foolish people I ever met were in my post graduate studies, while my greatest influence had only a HS diploma. You can have all of the education in the world, but without sense you can end up being a danger to yourself and others. I will leave out the basic silly memes.

And you're a surgeon with a doctorate. I think that trumps some of the rather ignorant posts that some have made.
