As I understand the word "vaccine", it is something the confers lasting protection. The goalposts have been shifted for this vaccine, as it only lasts for a few months. Israel is one of the most vaccinated populations in the world, but it didn't stop waves of mutations.
So I won't be forced to take the 3rd, 4th, 5th "booster" to remain a part of society.
In the UK we have had no mandates and our health service didn't collapse this winter time. Covid was never a lethal illness for the majority of adults. The issue was that it could cause national health services to collapse from sheer number of cases. Now that is no longer a threat, there is no longer any justification for limits on individual liberty.
- mjevans 5y agoThe yearly flu vaccines are similar though, and the long term protection against specific variants of CoViD-19 are also similarly lacking because the only ethical environment to gather test data in now has different, more virilant, variants. It's sort of like a riot shield's effectiveness against metal pipe club weapons, then mining picks, and now axes, all used by a mob. There is still some protection, and it is usually non-harmful to the protected, but the effectiveness is in question and annual training seems to help.
