Needing a booster every 6 months (which I predicted would be the case months ago) is now in the "break it to the public gently" mode. But here's the deal. I guarantee that there is a non-trivial percent of the population that was willing to roll up their sleeves and get their 1 or 2-dose Covid shots thinking it was a one-time deal, but aren't going to get them again twice a year for who knows how long, especially if they were one of the people that had significant side-effects.

As sort of a joke to myself, I marked this thread as Resolved a few months ago when all the numbers were trending towards this being mostly over soon. But as it stands now, I'm thinking that this fall/winter are going to be lockdown 2.0. And since everything has been bet on the vaccines we have being THE solution to this, if more and more vaccinated people keep getting infected and spreading to others, then everything goes to crap in a hurry.
Yet when I wrote these stuff I was the "strange" one.
You will NEVER get rid of the flue with vaccination, common, allegedly, less dangerous flu have taught us that. The process will be done with covid mutations that they will be less and less dangerous and in the end it will just kill people with serious health issues and again, it depends and of course natural immunity. As I've said you will be requested to vaccinate every now and then until the medical companies strangle every last drop of vaccine money from you( have you seen the pfizer stocks that are sky rocketing?). If you want to do that fine but calmly think if it's worth the go, especially if you are in a low danger group.

BTW USA put Greece in the high danger zone for vacation today. If you thinking of traveling I'm assuring you we are just fine, we have 8 deaths i 2500 and by the government double fake, the real deaths are 4 in 2500.
