    So, if I understand the point you are trying to make, it is that a 3 year old will be just fine taking the vaccine? Or is it that a 2 year old won't spread the disease to a vulnerable group?

    Because the way I look at it is that people who are vulnerable should take the vaccine. People who have almost no risk shouldn't take a vaccine which was hastily rushed to market.

    Exactly. It won't work. It's all bullshit. The flu vaccine doesn't work. Horrible accuracy rate.

    This is all the great reset. Nobody can move around without a medical passport.

    It's not about the vaccine. It's about retraining our society into a medical dictatorship.

    I think you should talk to a real doctor if you don’t understand how vaccinations work. Seriously.

    Hah okay. Every day it's a new rule.

    Bill gates said people will need a round of vaccines to develop immunity. Not one.

    And each round will be different each year for the new strain of covid. Not just one round and done.

    That's what he's said as of a few months ago.

    I've also heard that the antibodies fade quickly from covid so the constant "booster vaccine" theory makes sense. Assuming what they're telling us is true.

    The flu vaccine does work, its just a matter of catching the right virus strain that year. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. And there is the matter than the vaccine does cause some residual immunity.

    But when was the last time you heard of a cold vaccine? After all, COVID is just a cold virus (note I am not saying it is the same as your average cold virus, just the classification).

    I have, and I understand them just fine. I'm trying to understand what you are saying. You seem to not want to answer.

    Actually the medical community has stated the following:

    Nearly all the current vaccines for COVID will require two doses for immunization. The expectation is that the current vaccines will last (be effective) for 2 to 3 years.

    In the future COVID vaccines are expected to be available that will provide lifetime immunity. These are likely to be available within two years. The COVID-19 coronavirus does not appear to be evolving in a manner that will require a new shot every year (like the flu) to address the latest variants/strains.

    The real risk with the COVID vaccine is that not enough people take it to arrive at global herd immunity. Unless 70% of people take the vaccine then COVID will be present as a yearly endemic in society flaring up each winter (similar to the flu)

    I will note that the common cold coronaviruses (OC43, HKU1, NL63, 229E, etc.) are all endemics that flare up in winter since there is no vaccine. However they are far less deadly than COVID-19.

    In aggregate. But not by specific demographic. And that's the point.

    Most people see a doctor once or twice a year, so you’re all bound to have this conversation anyway. I honestly don’t think I will be a better advisor on this subject than your own doctor - who will probably already be vaccinated themselves.
