I'm wondering if dragging my feet for a booster that's got some variant protection along with it isn't worth doing. I want my immunity at its strongest when I'm entering basketball gyms starting in the middle of November.My company is now offering a third shot to employees and dependents who are at high risk. I’m in that group at my age and with COPD. Guess I’ll go for it. Why stop now?
Not a bad read. COVID Booster Shots: Everything You Need to KnowSo is the third shot, or booster, reconfigured for variants or is just supposed to give you another jolt from the same original formulation? I’ve never actually heard anything about how it scientifically provides additional protection against the variant(s).
Why are booster shots necessary if the vaccines are working as well as scientists hoped?
I really want to drive home the point that might be missed in the conversation about boosters: these vaccines have not failed us yet, to our knowledge. Breakthrough infections are expected, no vaccine is 100 percent effective. What we know is, here in the state of Massachusetts, 0.002 percent of fully vaccinated individuals have experienced severe disease. And so that’s a really small number of people. We just want to make sure that in the talk about boosters, if people are saying, well why should I bother if fully vaccinated people already need a booster? But I want to be clear that waning immunity is not the same as saying these vaccines have failed, because in fact, we want to give vaccines to prevent severe disease and death, and that’s what they’re doing. They’re working. This is what you want to see.
But will you still have that opinion when they ask you to take the 184th booster shot in a few years?My company is now offering a third shot to employees and dependents who are at high risk. I’m in that group at my age and with COPD. Guess I’ll go for it. Why stop now?
I think that's the mantra of the ivermectin crowd who are so afraid of this "non lethal" virus that they're taking livestock meds from Tractor Supply and they're killing their stomach's natural flora in an effort to not take a FDA approved vaccine.Hell, just go get one every month since it's so effective. More must be better, right?
I never said it isn't lethal. It is, to maybe 1% of the population, not including car accident victims and the like.I think that's the mantra of the ivermectin crowd who are so afraid of this "non lethal" virus that they're taking livestock meds from Tractor Supply and they're killing their stomach's natural flora in an effort to not take a FDA approved vaccine.

A. I'm not saying it's not a med that humans should take. I think it could likely be helpful to treat covid and flu symptoms. It is stocked in pharmacies. I get that.Come on Bubba that drug has been available for human use - not from TSC where I get it for my horses - for years. Good lord would you use the penicillin from TSC on yourself? Of course not.
Bubba, although you are circling around the medical field in some unknown, strange manner, your knowledge of medicine and medical advice absolutely sucks.The people taking horse dewormer on the regular are the scared ones.
Not necessarily.The people taking horse dewormer on the regular are the scared ones.
I find this meme funny. Not taking a shot at you.My company is now offering a third shot to employees and dependents who are at high risk. I’m in that group at my age and with COPD. Guess I’ll go for it. Why stop now?
Same formula.So is the third shot, or booster, reconfigured for variants or is just supposed to give you another jolt from the same original formulation? I’ve never actually heard anything about how it scientifically provides additional protection against the variant(s).
Not necessarily.
What is even more interesting is watching supposed medical people like you downplaying off-label use of medications, despite the fact that this occurs with a number of medications, to include the eugenics being conducted in the name of 'gender identity.'
I could fill up with two hands people from eastern Oklahoma that I know who are taking ivermectin prophylacticly. Most of these are people that I've shared beer, whiskey, trash can punch, etc. with.I hope (b) is an exaggeration. Only form of ivermectin I’m aware of at TSC is a paste and while they do advertise it as ‘Apple’ flavor in some brands, I cannot imagine licking the goo myself. Ugh

Ha, good point. Stay inside and watch your fat *** get even fatter. We know why. Because it's all BS for most of the population.With what we know about the virus how come we have never pushed people to lose weight and get in shape during this pandemic? The left has found a need to go after the unvaccinated and calling them careless while overweight people are dying by the droves and the left says nothing.
Poop= I'm correct.
I’m no fitness instructor. But, I did fine with the rona. I think there’s a correlation but you act as if every Covid death is due to personal responsibility and that is inaccurate.Obesity alone almost triples the risk of death from Covid so it's a fact. I think we might have hit a nerve because Bubba might be overweight himself. If so he shouldn't be talking about the irresponsibility of others.
