"Given that that the virus is here and will continue to be here, we also need to prepare for a fourth injection,” Israel’s national coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said last September. ‘This is our life from now on, in waves.”
“Thinking about this and the waning of the vaccines and the antibodies, it seems every few months — it could be once a year or five or six months — we’ll need another shot,” he added.
Or we can ignore these frauds and recognize almost everyone has antibodies against Covid and its variants.
Like the Moderna CEO said, this will be like the seasonal flu from now on. Immunocompromised & elderly may want to get the shots or not, but should consult their doctors.

If CDC officials want to play politics, they shouldn't be surprised when Americans add the agency to the list of failed institutions they see as 'political.'
Once you blow your reputation like the CDC just did during the Covid pandemic, it's gone for at least a generation. Good luck getting it back. You're done.
This is just a warning to the CDC because they are about to face a political whirlwind for years to come.
Red state governors, Republican Congressmen, even presidents are going to have a big incentive to take an axe to the CDC, its authority, and its budget.
Healthy kids currently have less than a 0.0001% chance of dying from Covid
Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, there have been a reported 1,314 children who have died with Covid. This is a mortality rate of 0.002%. Additionally, 95% of these children have severe comorbidities, making the mortality rate for healthy children 0.0001%.
There will be fewer than 500 annual Covid pediatric deaths. The CDC estimates 600 pediatric flu deaths in peak years.
Covid is less deadly than seasonal flu to children, but flu shots were never required to attend school.🔻
"The number of pediatric flu deaths reported to CDC each season is likely an undercount... CDC estimates the actual number was closer to 600 [in 2017-2018]. It is likely the actual number of children who died from flu during the 2019-2020 season..." cdc.gov/flu/spotlights…
