flying blind is a foolish way to live with an airborne pathogen as contagious and destructive as COVID
Yups. Best decision if you have a bd Covid is to fight it at home. DO NOT GO TO A KILLING CENTER. I MEAN A HOSPITAL.
Schumer now has covid,,,another VACCINATED person that has caught it. The democrats duped their idiot followers like they always do,,,the vaccine works?,,,lmao. Just like they duped them for 3 years saying Trump colluded with Russia,,,,
Immune escape. A virus is a moving target.
Flu is taken seriously enough that we have an annual vaccine, why not COVID. The lack of a Warp Speed 2.0 is a horrendous oversight.
If only we took COVID as seriously as we take the flu..
Trump s still don't understand anything
Boiled down:::
1,047,000 Americans dead in the ground.
& counting...

Playing wack a mole with variant specific vaccines is not a good strategy. By the time you make one a new one, a new one emerges with immune invasion.
I'm done with boosters unless a new variant emerges that is more dangerous.
Covid is turning into something similar to a Windows update. Do you have version 2.78.2 yet?
So long as boosters continue to keep people out of the hospital and the graveyard, seems like a no-brainer to keep getting them.

More broadly protective vaccines and intranasal vaccines that confer mucosal immunity could be available next year. Lots of info here about what's in the pipeline:

We update flu vaccines annually. Coronaviruses are more challenging, but regularly updating the shots is hardly an exotic concept.
It's mutating so fast that the vaccines can't keep up.
maybe we should try harder to make better vaccines. or maybe you've given up already and joined the nothing can be done crew.
The virus has become the intranasal booster. 80% of the population already infected, your time is coming grandpa.
What vaccine are you currently developing? Oh none? I guess you've given up too.
What I think doesn't change reality, but you just keep going with "hopes and prayers" that the vaccines can keep up. They haven't even gotten the omacron vaccine out yet and its mutated like 5 times since then.
thats a good way to catch it.
This doesn't help...
More Than 82 Million COVID Vaccine Doses Wasted in U.S.: Report
June 7, 2022 – The U.S. threw out 82.1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses between December 2020 and mid-May 2022, tossing about 11% of the doses distributed.
Pharmacies, states, territories, and federal agencies got rid of doses that expired on shelves before they could be used, that spoiled when the power went out or freezers broke, and that were tossed at the end of the day when no one used the remaining doses in an opened vial, according to NBC News.
The overall number of discarded doses falls in line with public health estimates for large vaccination campaigns using multidose vials, according to the World Health Organization’s vaccine wastage rates calculator. But public health experts have said the waste is still alarming when 53% of fully vaccinated Americans haven’t gotten a booster shot.

the ones we rolled out a year and a half ago -- astonishingly good ones, right off the bat, BTW -- still protect people from hospitalization and death. there's no reason to think generation two vaccines won't be as good or better.
7 minute mark. Is it really though getting priority ?
Getting priority? No.
Biden has completely abandoned any emphasis on public health and vaccines in favor of a back to normal political narrative that ignores a changed reality and amount to an ethic of mass infection and death. I agree with the doc in the vid that we should hasten intranasal and 2nd generation vaccines. Hopefully they'll be more durable.
