Constant vaccination? Are we all collectively forgetting all the vaccines we received as children...? The fact we’ve eradicated most childhood viruses because we vaccinated the general population? None of this is new.
Just like the recommended seasonal flu vaccine. Most folks won’t bother to get their seasonal covid vaccine. If you were in that group before. Your life hasn’t changed.
- xyzzy123 5y agoI'm pro vaxx! If covid is more severe than the flu yet requires a similar vaccination cycle (nobody knows yet!) that does seem like a major change to me. Childhood and travel vaccinations are once-offs and seasonal flu vaccination is a good idea but not a big deal for most.
- irishsultan 5y agoYou say that nobody knows whether covid will require a similar vaccination cycle to the flu, but that seems overly pessimistic. We have a fairly good idea how fast covid mutates and how fast the flu mutates and they are not in the same league, so it's very unlikely we would need a similar schedule.

- xyzzy123 5y agoI also think this is likely but there are a lot of people writing about needing regular boosters and treating that as no big deal. In my view that would be a very interesting development.
