2- "Prof Eran Segal, who advises the Israeli government on Covid matters, said by month five or six after vaccination, people are probably only 30-40% protected, compared with more than 90% when protection first kicks in."
That's ... not good.
3- "Dr Anat Ekka Zohar, who is leading the booster programme study, said three doses were "highly protective, against both infection and severe illness".
She added: "The triple dose is the solution to curbing the current infection outbreak."
They've been mostly wrong but sure.
4- "And some have questioned whether it is sustainable to top up the vaccines every six months, or once a year as is the case with the flu jab."
Yes, some have questioned. Anyone sane should question what 2 shots a year looks like over several years.
5- "Or it could be that two jabs plus natural immunity will be enough."
Or it could be that vaccines interfere with natural immunity. Lots of "could be" in this article.
6- "..repeated exposure to the Covid infection, now with the protection of the vaccine and natural immunity from past infection rendering it less risky, could over time turn the virus into a potentially recurring, but relatively untroublesome illness."
Or we could get ADE.
7- "At the least, Israel's booster programme might provide more answers to some of these remaining questions."
So basically nobody knows what happens with forever boosters, but let's plow ahead and see.
Yeah, who needs long-term clinical trials.

There is no way to know who the poor man caught COVID from, yet the widow is railing at the unvaccinated instead of railing at the drug companies for making a crappy product and/or owning her own terrible risk decision (cont).
2- “Gary Keplinger had a rare neurological condition, called myasthenia gravis, which may have made him particularly susceptible to complications from the coronavirus,..”
Heartbreaking but not the fault of unvaccinated people.
3- “But then, in July, they attended a gathering of extended family in a rented hall. It was attended by about 50-75 people, including numerous unvaccinated relatives, Ardith Keplinger said.”
“More than two weeks later, investigators are still confounded by what caused their deaths. Teams in hazmat suits had already combed the area for clues.”
1- "I have been fully vaccinated since May 2021, and I just tested positive for Covid-19. I am very symptomatic and not feeling well as I write this piece."
2- "I got infected during our annual family vacation to the shores of South Carolina. In hindsight, I should have known better. And if I had a do-over, I would have cancelled the trip."
Well that inspires vax confidence.
3- "The CDC is also urging those who are vaccinated (like myself) to weigh the risks of travel, something I now wish I did."
2- “In today’s post, the company has clarified its rules with regard to health misinformation.”
Oh great.
3- “For the 54 other subreddits that have been quarantined, Reddit warns potential visitors that medical advice should come from doctors rather than forum members.”
Nobody is allowed a medical opinion. I guess next only generals can criticize the military.
