I have no idea why you believe a third dose is just marketing. It is plainly obvious that immunity decreases over time, as is the case for all vaccines against flus and similar.
A booster is the normal way to handle it. If there were a way to avoid it, at least one of the many companies working on this would have created it. And one for the regular flu, too, while they are at it, which has not happened in decades.
- the_doctah 5y agoThat reminds me, I need to get my Polio booster
- dolni 5y agoIs there any other vaccine on the planet has recommended a recurring booster on a six month schedule? Because I haven't heard of one. Sure sounds fishy to me.
- anoonmoose 5y agoIs every six months (and, keep in mind, "every" is one six month increment so far) really that different from every twelve months, the schedule I've received a flu shot on for some number of years?
- the_doctah 5y agoFlu shots are not required for any healthy individual
- anoonmoose 5y agoNeither are COVID shots, what's your point?
- the_doctah 5y agoMy point is that this glowing report is from the same company trying to collude with governments to force the vaccines. It may be "optional" for some people (not at my company if I want to keep my office job!), but they sure are trying hard to change that. And you know that, which makes your statement disingenuous.
- anoonmoose 5y agothere's no need for the scare quotes around "optional", its still optional regardless of how much fearmongering and conspiracy stuff you spew
- the_doctah 5y agoFearmongering? I was literally forced to take it, with my company directly referencing Biden's order for companies > 100 to require it. I'm not sure where you get off calling it a conspiracy.
- anoonmoose 5y agoyou were not "literally forced". you were given an option. they didn't hold you down. if you want additional protections you should lobby for those, maybe form a union, but don't lie about being forced to do something.
- the_doctah 5y agoYour comments are incredibly disingenuous and you're the type of person who would be crying fascism under Trump. Having a gun to your head is technically a choice too. This is your argument.
- anoonmoose 5y agoComparing actual violence to losing your job is far more disingenuous than anything I'm doing. My opinions about vaccinations are the same now as they were before Trump was elected.
- hamburglar1 5y agoI didn't say it was just marketing - I was asking for additional data to shed light on how robust (or frail) this result is. I don't think there is enough in this press release. edit: (maybe you meant to comment on that other comment on this...)
