You are correct Tony. It is better against symptomatic infection and it is remarkably strong against severe infection, irrespective of variant. July 7 2022. CONCLUSIONS Protection of natural infection against reinfection wanes and may diminish within a few years. Viral immune evasion accelerates this waning. Protection against severe reinfection remains very strong, with no evidence for waning, irrespective of variant, for over 14 months after primary infection. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.06.22277306v1
Sure, the more information, the better. As mentioned in an earlier post, one of my roommates treats children with Covid. I asked her opinion on the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines. She was, how shall I say, ambiguous. After asking her a leading question, she did say that vaccines likely reduced the severity of Covid for most people. She did get hit fairly hard by Covid in spite of being young, a woman without comorbidities, and vaccinated and boosted. Sure, vaccines have their issues, as does catching a virus. Either way, one's DNA will get modified, unless one takes the JNJ vaccine and does not get infected. For viruses of minor to moderate concern, I believe each individual needs to make their own decision in light of their own specific circumstances. As far as vulnerable populations are concerned, mostly people over 60 years old or so, it seems unfair to demand babies, children, teenagers, and most of working age to be forced to be vaccinated for Covid. It was not that long ago that 45 years old was considered pretty close to a full life for humans mainly because of pathogens. Perhaps pathogens are nature's way of allowing the sharing of resources with new generations, while those generations are still relatively new. Those who are vulnerable are more than welcome to vaccinate themselves and take other protective measures. I believe those who are sick or go to crowded places are obligated to take protective measures, however. Interestingly, there appear to be conspiracy theories related to vaccines and or Covid being a coordinated effort by developed countries to control population growth. In another words, the human way of effecting the sharing of resources from older generations or "People of lesser importance", for the benefit of newer generations or "More important people". I don't subscribe to those conspiracy theories because of the well known risks involving the release of pathogens. As far as the distribution of poisonous vaccines to control population, I don't buy that either. Not yet, anyway, as larger population means a larger economy for the powers to skim off of for wealth and power. Countries that see population declines while their neighbors grow are at an increasing competitive disadvantage, in my opinion. Look at immigration practices of the US. It is designed to increase population, regardless of "Quality". Sure, part of that may be for the specific purpose to dilute the culture that made the US a global superpower during its heyday by those influenced by countries that are hostile to US interests, but it is an undeniable fact that U.S. employers of all sizes actively seek cheap, foreign labor.

You put Mono on ignore? He just just a low gravitas, gender challenged clown whose usefulness is limited to comedic relief. The trick is to get him to put you on ignore, as I've done, because then you know you've really got to him. Odds are, however, Mono does have another nick. If so, I already have a candidate in mind. Time will tell.
Sounds like you've rationalized the merits of taking the vaxx. Perhaps you should rethink. Even Fauci and Gates have admitted the vaxxes don't work at preventing contagion plus they do much more harm than the public is being told. Last year I copied links to stories about the negatives of the vaxx and saved them in a folder. Unfortunately, I can't send that folder via my email. Last time I counted, there were more than 350 such stories. Check Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Simone Gold, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Ben Marble, the FLCCC, Steve Kirsch, the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab for starters. Good Luck.
Well,Im over it.Other than body-aches this time wasn't as bad as the first.This bout was also half the time as last time I was sick for 2 weeks.I also haven't lost my taste and smell like last time. Its likely I'm fully immune for another 2 years,without 2 jabs and 8 boosters. See yall in 2024 for Tony has covid part 3.
A coworker had similar experience to yours. Got sick less than a yr ago, was out for 2 wks, loss of smell/still wonky w/certain foods. Got sick again 2-3 wks ago but much milder this time (just aches, wk out). Antivaxer con though, so never vaxxed. Glad the latest strain appears less dangerous. In contrast, no contraction, loss wages or smell here after shot & 2x boosters (I do know of maybe half a dozen who've gotten sick after vax (or they claim), and several dozen w/no contraction vaxxed).
