It occurs to me that the third shot is NOT a booster. A booster is an identical shot to previous injections to enhance immunity.
This is not identical to the first two shots. Therefore, not a booster. It is a new vaccine or more correctly, yet another new experimental biologic agent.
This yet another example of the medical establishment re-defining medical terminology for political ends - such as “cases” or “vaccines” or fudging the death toll to include both deaths from Covid and deaths with Covid…
Thanks, Cogito! That’s important information. We are being experimented on - again and again!
Exactly! And they’re already talking about having to get one every five months! It will never end.
We’re all guinea pigs now.
The third shot that my daughter and brother received was not a booster, but a full dose of the same previous two vaccines. That is what they were told by their doctors and the clinic. I think the third shot for the over 65 bunch is the same. I didn’t think that a Delta variant was included yet for the Cover shot.
The influenza shots that I get every Fall is a mixture of the variants that are thought to be around that year. We are always guinea pigs if we get a flu shot each year.
We are getting the third shot when it is available for us. After Labor Day is what we were told.
You may be right but it makes no sense. The first two shots were ineffective against the delta variant, so what could possibly be the reason for an identical third shot?
I will try and clarify this.
I think I have to apologize. I am mistaken when I said the booster dose is not a true booster. I now believe it is an identical shot to the first two.
Mea culpa…for now
Even if it is a booster, it’s still “an experimental biological agent”, as you say. I’d rather get the virus and get immunity from that, than take such a risky vaccine, which already has a poor track record, and is just a tool in the governments “carrot and stick” operation, anyway.
Yes, I agree with you, Liz
The flu shot does not keep you from getting the flu. The Covid shot does not keep you from getting Covid. Covid is going to be with us forever, just like influenza is.
We got the shots to help against Covid, to lessen the severity of Covid and to make us less likely to contract it. Delta is a strong variant, and is breaking through, so we will get a third shot to help with that.
My neighbor died and his daughter will most likely have to have oxygen for the rest of her life, although she hopes not. Our life-long friend’s brother died over the course of a week from Covid. Others have been hospitalized for weeks and have not returned to full health, and a couple will not ever. I don’t want to take that chance.
Yes, but just like with flu shots, these vaccines should be optional. People die from the flu, too, and the death rate is about the same. Natural immunity is a better “flattener of the curve” for both the flu and these viruses. Look at Sweden.
They are lying that its a “pandemic” and an “emergency”, when the recovery rate is around 99.5%. All these mandates are in violation of our rights. Same thing with the masks and lockdowns.
I agree with you. Another point to note is that the flu vaccine is a true vaccine and we have decades of experience with it. The Covid vaccine is an unknown item that has not been tested in any significant way for safety or efficacy. Despite FDA approval, the clinical trials are still ongoing and are not scheduled to be completed until 2023. Astonishing.
Another interesting fact is that the areas that are most successfully vaccinated (Israel, Seychelles, Gibraltar etc.) have the highest delta infection rates in the world!
Yes, that is interesting. Yet the “authorities” (like Fauci) seem to be ignoring these facts! And condemning anyone who disagrees with them.
Strange how that never fails to happen when there are huge profits to be made.
“The CDC admits the Covid lethality rate was overstated - twice as many Americans had covid as previously thought”. This is a headline I just read. Who wants to bet that even this admission won’t change their ridiculous, obsessive insistence on vaccine and mask mandates?
Interesting! Over 99%for all until 70. And if they take the new admission from the CDC into account, it would be even higher for all.
I understand, Cogito. I don’t run with scissors. I am careful when working during the heat of the day and drinks lots of water and take breaks in the a.c. I try to take small bites and not laugh when eating. I know how to swim and respect the water. I don’t walk on the road or cross against the light and I don’t trust any driver to yield to me. I wear my seat belt and drive a substantial vehicle, don’t speed and stay aware. And I get vaccines, including the Covid ones.
So far, so good. I also treat my health conditions with modern medicine, never smoked, rarely drink alcohol or much at a time, never did illicit drugs, have only had one sexual partner, wear a mask in the chicken house…but I eat meat and often eat fried foods and don’t eat enough vegetables or fruits to comply with whatever Triangle we are supposed to now-a-days.
This vaccine…to me…is another step to keep myself healthy, but I will let you know how we do down the road. That is, if the internet and civilization remain viable.
Maybe it is partly our fault that the virus is mutating, but such is the way of every virus, is it not, to work around the blockades that the chosen hosts put forth, and try to find a new way to infect and live?
Jeanne, sounds like you have alot of common sense. Doesn’t it bother you at all that the vaccines haven’t been tested properly, that they have had massive adverse effects (such as death from blood clots, miscarriage, and cytokene storm type reactions) yet are being pushed under the auspices of “emergency” measures, when the virus is no more lethal than the flu?
That’s a good question.
The blood clots that occurred were below the yearly statistical deaths from blood clots. Unfortunate either way. I take drugs that have blood clot warnings and have for many, many years. I am not of child-bearing age. I doubt a cytokine storm for me, but this was a concern for my daughter. However, she and her PCP and several specialists felt that the risk from getting Covid was far worse and she got her first as soon as she could and recently got her third. Same with my half-brother, who is a heart transplant patient going on 11 years now.
We each felt that our getting the vaccine was to the benefit of her and the young children and to ourselves. So far, so good.
It is a toss up, I suppose, Liz. As far as teachers and school staff go, I am okay with no mandate to vaccinate…but if they bitch about children getting vaccinated, then they had better too.
