Send $10 to "Nothing But Nets" and save two lives. You can do this right this minute, for the cost of a visit to Starbucks.

I don't go to Starbucks. Nobody I know does.

What if it loses 90% of it's effectiveness in a year? But I pulled 90% from nowhere? Right, but 10% is from actual estimates I've seen is too low, Pfizer estimated a 6% decline in effectiveness every 2 months, but this is mostly disease which can be a bad case, but hospitalizations and deaths I think there is a lot of uncertainty.

Until you can walk the walk, your talk is just squack.

I just spent the afternoon finding and rescuing an injured person on the mountain here. Go peddle your faux-altruism somewhere else.

Oh we know you're a hero. You tell us all the time.

Isn't it interesting that to some heroes are always first responders or people in the military, or those who survived cancer or some other serious illness? What a narrow vision. It makes watching the local news a little annoying. Why isn't the civil rights activist or the anti-war protestor or the teacher who's not terminally ill or the woman standing out in public today in Kabul with a sign demanding her rights a hero?

And just because I don't want to donate to your pet charity doesn't mean squat. I am altruistic in other ways.

Yes, we have all seen your remarkable level of empathy and concern for others.

Doctors in the thick of it seem less convinced than Pharma is that boosters are necessary, unless you are immune-compromised, or as one said--"oldest-old"--over 80. Out of curiosity, I'd want to have my blood titered if that weren't impractical. At any rate, eight months out from my jab would be about February, which gives me plenty of time to reflect on the state of COVID. So I'm in the same camp as ANM, which isn't an answer on the poll. If I were at high risk for infection, I might be more concerned.

Israel is beginning to give the 3rd shot to those over 60.

You’re also staying close to home. And everything I’ve read is that the J&J shot gets better over time. All the talk about immunity from the vaccines waning seems to be based on the mRNA shots.
