I think over here we're supposed to get a booster 9 months after the 2nd shot. Which means I'll probably be invited for my booster somewhere around march.
Vulnerable groups are getting it a bit sooner I think.

I had my 2nd dose 9 months ago. Not in any risk group but I do work in healthcare so I get it all done through that; I'm more worried about accidentally spreading it than catching it, but it doesn't help much that vaccinated peoples can still spread covid but that's what frequent testing is for. Managed to get through all of 2020 to now with no coof infection. Only reason I hadn't booked jab3 sooner was because I wasn't sure if they were going to give me a new job contract lmao
There's just one shame though. Can't for the life of me convince my sister or her SO to take jab 1 or jab 2, let alone jab 3. She's convinced this jab'll mutate her genome, but didn't bat an eyelid at any flu shot, chicken pox or tetanus jab before

It must be investigated if it was the flu shot, the chicken pox shot or the tetanus jab that caused her brain damage. /s

Those were just 3G shots though, they're not as dangerous

Easy bet that by March, there will be an omicron specific booster.
But by then we’ll be dealing with the Sigma virus

Pfizer Cherry is just too dangerous, and don't even get me started on Diet Pfizer. Gimme some of that classic shots

In seriousness, I think we've got all of the evidence we need that this will become an endemic virus at this point.  Vaccines are necessarily reactionary and we'll never get a high enough immunity level to stop it from mutating again.

Hmmm back in the 60's reactonnary was basically a synonym for conservative right? I don't know given this whole societal endeavour is at like counter^n+1 revolution, electric bugaloo edition*, and how the social media farm the ragedopamine, I've come to think of reactive and reactionnary as somewhat synonymous. Might be on the flamboyant/thesaurus side but I do not take huge issue.


*ffs I don't even know what reference actually stems from, maybe I'm just in this forum to use every bit of english I memorized.

Reactive means that you respond to a situation instead of acting first. Reactionary means actions taken by conservatives and fash to thwart the liberal agenda (please take this as tongue in cheek).

I think it's an atypical, but not incorrect, use of the word reactionary. As in, reactionaries are so called because they're reactive.

Best of luck to her, LordBaal. Hopefully she'll have a mild version of it, thanks to the vaccine.
