As they say.... follow the science and the numbers. Only .005 % of the vaxed result in hospitalization and only .001 % of the vaxed result in death. Oh, and the numbers also say 95 % of beds in ICU are occupied by the UNVAXED.

My wife and I got out Pfizer booster shots last Wednesday at CVS, no line, no rash, no pain,. We still wear masks. When I come home from shopping my clothes still go in the washer and I go in the shower, nothing much has changed except IF we get the virus we are much less likely have to go to the hospital


You are not likely tp gp tp the hospital even if you get covid. Only about 5% of those with active covid need to be hospitilized.Thyis entire pandemic . although certainly very serious and deadly has needlessly paniced the country. Many of the reactions- the shutdowns have been way overdone. Maybe a month or so would have been nnecessary. The number of suicides and fatal drug overedoses have been as a result of the isolation. We will never know what the damage of no inperson schooling has happened

Unlike some, you have shown that you not only care about yourself, but you also care about your fellow man. Unless there are medical reasons, I will never understand the reluctance of some to do the same as you. We are fighting two pandemics here Covid19 and stupidity and stupidity is the toughest fight of all.

I know that. There is confusion between a “third dose” and a “booster”. Some people eligible for a third dose believe it is the booster. The booster for Pfizer was first administered yesterday afternoon, the Moderna has yet to be approved.


What’s the difference?

A "third dose" is given to people with a compromised immune system, who are at high risk not to develop adequate antibodies after the 2-dose sequence of either Pfizer or Moderna. For these people, it's not really a booster. Rather, they are given a 3-dose series rather than 2 doses. For both Pfizer and Moderna, the dose of the 3rd shot is the same as the first 2.

A "booster" is given to people who should have had a good antibody response to the initial 2 shots, however the antibodies begin to disappear over time. Therefore, their immune system needs a "boost." So after an appropriate interval has passed since their second shot (the U.S. has decided on 6 months, Israel decided on 5 months) a booster shot is offered. The Pfizer booster is the same dose as shots #1 and#2, however the Moderna booster will likely be a half-dose once.

Thanks. That clears it up👍

While some doubters quote the 90%+ survival rate they never account for the physical and mental after effects on those survivors. Add to that the effects on the families, loved ones and friends of those who’ve died and are seriously ailing and you have a very substantial number of people seriously and needlessly suffering.

You might want to take a look at the results of a meeting with the 18 member board discussing the pros and cons of the covid-19 vaccinations and booster shops. Looks like the folks on the front lines of medical care have a reason for refusing the vaccinations.

This is the opposite of science. It is anti-science. These people are hacks.

So, if it's really true that the 18 member advisory committee to the FDA (the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee) felt that vaccines kill more people than they save, why do you think that on Sept 17 they voted to recommend booster doses for people 65 and older, those with severe underlying medical conditions, and those with high risk of occupational exposure like doctors, nurses and teachers? How do you explain this?

No booster announced yet for the Moderna shot, but I will not hesitate to get it once it is available.

Unfortunately these are not vaccines, they are genetic modifiers and one thing we know about anything genetically modified is that they don't live as long as the non GMO.

Just look at the name, RNA is part of our genetic makeup
