How about a monthly dose? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9775925/Can-long-Covid-cured-monthly-dose-vaccine.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9775925/Can-long-... The more times you take it, you are increasing your risk of an adverse reaction. Yes, nothing to worry about here. 2 Weeks to flatten the curve didn't expand into anything else.

That monthly dose has nothing to do with preventing covid infections. It's an attempt at curing the long-term side effects of a covid infection.

  I know, it is about the never ending saga that evolves into ever more unexpected needs/requirements that truly begin to look absurd. We are all playing a game of Simon Says.

    I don't find the slippery slope argument to be a very convincing one. Given the delta variant the suggestion that we may need a booster shot is not absurd nor unexpected. There's been talk of a booster shot since the development of the vaccine started.

      It is the totality of it all. Every bit of advice is usually contradicted within 3-6 months. This is a coronavirus that mutates easily. As many have suggested, it is likely here to stay. Are we going live in fear forever? Wearing masks, social distancing or whatever else they want us to do? In Australia, they are now saying you can't talk to people.

The vaccine has made me significantly less fearful and social distancing is not required when vaccinated. Wearing a mask indoors is only required while transmission levels are high and is only a minor inconvenience. You wouldn't tell me I'm living in fear of the rain for carrying an umbrella during wet season.

        Given the contractions that exist not only in time, but across countries etc at any given moment, I simply propose that the only sensible solution is to allow individuals to evaluate their risks for themselves and take actions accordingly. Your advice at the end will be seen as rational by some, over caution by others and for some still not enough.
