Interesting evaluation of Sweden's "herd immunity" strategy in March 2020. Basically the government was suborned by COVID deniers, who have been covering up the disastrous impact of the policy ever since.

Over 280 years of collaboration between political bodies, authorities, and the scientific community had yielded many successes in preventive medicine. Sweden’s population is literate and has a high level of trust in authorities and those in power. During 2020, however, Sweden had ten times higher COVID-19 death rates compared with neighbouring Norway. In this report, we try to understand why, using a narrative approach to evaluate the Swedish COVID-19 policy and the role of scientific evidence and integrity. We argue that that scientific methodology was not followed by the major figures in the acting authorities—or the responsible politicians—with alternative narratives being considered as valid, resulting in arbitrary policy decisions.

Are these boosters just less of the original formula or are they something different? At some point, seems like more of the same wouldn't be very effective.
I fit the criteria for a third Pfizer shot and so I’m going to get one soon.
I’m looking toward New England for producing some sensible Republicans because I’m not sure the Midwest will do it.Quote:

I had my booster in October. When I do get another one it will be Moderna which is new for me. I read that getting the opposite of your other ones gives your immune system a better boost.
I read that getting the virus plus a vaccine is the best protection of all and gives you "super immunity" because having had the disease primes you against the entire virus, not just the spike protein.Quote:

Doh! I am an idiot! Terry I’m really glad I had this casual conversation with you because I was thinking I had an October shot and that was my number two. It was in fact my number three shot which was of course my “booster. “Quote:

I meet the criteria list in paragraph #2 of CDC March 29 news release which are
1) over 50 years of age
2) 4 months have elapsed since my last Pfizer Covid shot
That’s funny! My doctor told me to wait until late summer to get mine.

I had the third shot back in January.
Thankfully, I am not like the man in Germany, who has had 90 shots:

My doctor said to wait until I get back from Europe.
Property next door to us is rental and was sold about a year ago. Just found out that the previous landlord died from covid. He was in his early to mid 50's and left behind three kids.
Big covid outbreaks in places where people wear masks - Hong Kong, Shanghai. Hmmm.
Each person needs to consult their own MD. As people age many medical conditions put them at high risk, regardless of how well they try to exercise, eat well and take their vitamins. I got mine to protect an immune compromised person in my household.Quote:

Too much is still unknown about the vaccine and virus.
I read recently that if we keep getting the same vaccine our bodies might not be able to fight off the infection as well if we get Covid. I have been reading the studies coming out of Israel because they are ahead of us. If I did what doctors said I wouldn’t have went 14 years between colonoscopies:)). Also with seeing the generations ahead of me age there’s definitely worse things than dying. My doctor agreed when I mentioned that.
Masking the toddlers in NYC did not stop covid. Eric Adams got it. Schadenfreude!!!
You are *happy* that someone got covid?Quote:

When my dad, 83, was in the hospital and told he had covid he was denied monoclonal antibodies. In his case I think it was a false positive test. They refused to retest because a covid dx = more money for them. But suppose it were real. He is denied but younger party animal Adams can get whatever he wants.Quote:

I just read about this yesterday in AARP newsletter, and it seemed like the CDC was telling people to wait, too.
We are not getting second boosters. We got the first booster, of a different shot--we mixed shots. We are done.
