By this point in the pandemic, a lot of people must be losing track. “I actually think this is a good thing,” says Grace Lee, a pediatrician at Stanford, and the chair of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

There it is: the New Normal. Take whatever we give you, as soon as we make it available. Don't worry about the fact that you've had 10 shots and are still getting sick.

How stupid are people, anyway?

TBF, all I've actually seen it do is raise skepticism in normies.

Plenty of people who took them at first, but have now not just stopped taking Covid shots but also flu shots. Even childhood vaccination is down a bit.

The people who'd take shot after shot after shot were already way too trusting of the authorities, there's less of them now.

Normie skepticism will be put to the real test if and when booster mandates emerge.

Most double jabbed people never had any of their actual freedoms curtailed because they became skeptical after the original series and when they could pick and choose when to stick to their principles and when to cave out of convenience wrt to employment, travel and food/entertainment vax passes.

I told people who had doctors who were “pro-booster” to have them take the shot in the trapezius muscle region because if the shot was localized they wouldn’t have to worry about after effects. I have yet to meet a doctor willing to do it.

For a layman, what's special about injecting there?

If the injection is “leaky” or travels beyond the injected area then it has easier access to two locations, the heart and the blood brain barrier.

Intramuscular injection sites such as the deltoid and the glutes were historically chosen because it could generally be relied upon that there wasn't anything of import that could be damaged such as an artery or a major nerve.

You can theoretically inject into any muscle but you likely won't find any nurse or doctor willing to inject the neck or back muscles because at that point you are just stabbing around in the dark, along with contravening tradition and best practices.

Quick trials! Death penalty!

The flip is subtle, but it marks a rethink of the COVID-vaccination paradigm.

It's only subtle if you're a brain dead moron.

The article did unintentionally tell the truth.

Further COVID shots will help only insofar as they can recharge the battery toward max capacity when it starts to lose its juice.

That is a very accurate analogy. Of course, the part left out is that every time you charge the battery the time it lasts decreases slightly. So, each recharge (shot) has to happen more and more frequently, until the battery itself is just dead.

And every once in a while, when you try to recharge a faulty battery, it explodes.

I stopped counting at zero.

No thanks. Everyone I know who had the shot(s) has had covid multiple times.

I haven't gotten it, and I've been tested many many times over the 2 years for work. Never once had it.
