Many have already started to see the ridiculousness of the continual boosters that are coming everyone's way. At some point more and more people will see it as well instead of continually blindly following the officials who promise...just one more booster and we can all get back to normal.

The officials are now reaching the limit of what they can push. The more they push this the more people are going to question the effectiveness of all vaccines...including the flu vaccine.
They have gone from pushing the flu shot in November to pushing the flu shot in August.
I have read the flu shot is, on average, only 40% effective and starts waning within 30 days.

The height of flu season is Dec-Feb so by then your flu shot has pretty much waned to nothing.

Those conspiracy theories are redicilous.
Communists shouldn’t be listened to. Go peddle your collectivism elsewhere.

How can you watch people DIE because they can't BREATHE?

Do you LIKE being sick? Do you WANT long term organ damage?

It is clear the vaccines help reduce the illness, even if it doesn't stop it completely.

If we DON'T stop the spread this WILL mutate and if it mutates into something terrible, it will be YOUR fault.

Stop the Qanon conspiracy bs and get a vaccination and wear a mask - so we can ALL get back to normal.

Geeze people...
Cool story, BlueAnon.

Yeah, I wonder if they're gonna call it Schmiver Schmectin.

If you still believe that estimated efficacy figure after watching them continually manage the vaccines' efficacy expectations downward... well, I guess that's your right.

Agreed. I'm vaccinated and would have no problem with an annual COVID vax that actually addresses the variants, rather than "let's just keep trying the same thing over and over again!"

Your rant would be logical IF the vaccine actually eliminated transmission and contagion.

You can’t have it both ways, you hysterical mask loving morons. Wear a mask to protect yourself, and then mind your own business about the choices of others. Your mask protects you according to your science, so why are you so concerned with the mask status of others?

This mental midgetry needs to come to an end.

And if the vaccines themselves weren't fueling evolutionary escape pressure.

The covid shot is not a vaccine. Chickenpox, MMR, smallpox, etc. ARE vaccines because they PREVENT you catching them.

Yes it is. None of the vaccines mentioned above is "100%".
