For me it sure does, thank you. Does your news source ever mention any significant side effects of COVID? Serious question.
I can think back to the several times I have suffered thru debilitating bouts of the flu vs. the utterly trivial annual flu vaccinations, that for me have been 100% effective.

But thanks for your concern about my health.
Glad you haven't had the flu. However, the flu V is not 100% effective, and you may not have been saying it was. Just in case anyone thought it might be, the CDC says it is 40-60% effective when the circulating virus is well matched to the shot.

When those conditions do not occur, it is going to be a lot less effective. The CDC publishes data, in 04 it was 10 percent, and once since then it was 60% effective Some years there is a range like 20-40. You can read up on it yourself, but it seems on average they like their work at a 40% level, but I did not add up all the years, and the ranges. I don't know when there is a range, what the distribution is.

There are apparently hundreds of vaccines being prepared for the mRNA platform, and none of these will require any testing should they be delivered through the proven P or M platforms, so there will be lots of opportunities to express oneself through these options.

Of course don't forget to mention than Eric Topol has received significant direct funding from Pzifer.
Would you care to back up that statement with any facts about direct funding from Pfizer to Eric Topol?

Please don't embarrass yourself by suggesting that any of Pfizer Venture capital's investment in the liquid biopsy company Molecular Stethoscope Inc went directly to Topol.

No the plague didn’t fuck up this. The broken trust you can put down to the moron in the government and health care industry who decided to impose their will on everyone instead of convince them. That worked so well…

Think about that for a moment. That 40% do get a colonoscopy as miserable an experience that is and yet only 15% got boosted.

That is covidiocy destroying trust across larger portions of society.
I apologize if I don't read every post in this thread so I haven't kept up with the latest political extremist insults and terminology. Is covidiocy associated with idiocy in not getting vaccinated, or with is it associated with the idiotically obvious common sense of getting vaccinated? I genuinely don't know who is accused of destroying who at this stage.

I could mention that considerably more than 15% of the population have received their original covid booster shot, but glancing at a few pages in this thread tells me this is not a place where facts are encouraged, especially if they interrupt a good argument.

I will try and stay out of the way as Bernie and Donald try to reach consensus on public health policy.

That's an embarrassing fact for Topol.
