Great post Charon. Living in the deep south where the majority of people think vaccinations are junk science irritates the heck out of me.
I researched and have written a paper as an epidemiologist and public health expert (masters degree summa cum laude and then certified in biostatistics and epidemiology as this supplements my other doctorate so no need to go full PhD) about how these mrna vaccines work and their efficacy rating for the CDC. I made CNN on the topic and guidelines, not saying it's me, but they have changed how they rate the efficacy. 6 months was not realistic. At 4 months vs 3 months, the efficacy rating dropped from in the 90's at month one, to the high 80's at month two, then the low 80's at month 3, then dropped significantly at month 4 near the 50% mark. So they changed the rules on vaccinations to allow for people to get them and the new variant boosters to lower time frames to increase effectiveness by efficacy studies.
Also, it has been researched, including by me in an official capacity, that switching between pfizer and moderna each time you get your boosters is the most effective way to have the best immunity possible. Johnson and Johnson wouldn't supply their data so take that as you want. But for your maximum safety, switch back and forth between the two companies and continue to get vaccinated as the disease variants progress. Your ability to fight off the non-believers who refuse vaccination and prefer home remedies will be greatly increased by switching and getting "all the medicine" possible that is available. Don't think just the original will do.
For any doubters, research how mrna vaccines work and then look at the efficacy rating data even against the strains your memory cells develop resistance to and see how effective they are if you don't get your continued updates. Even against the original strains, the efficacy rating plummets. So keep getting vaccinated to keep yourself healthy!
Thanks for the great post Charon!
