Oops, here is my shocked face.

JUST IN - Moderna CEO says people may need fourth Covid shot as efficacy of boosters likely to decline over time (CNBC)

It's possible and normal. Polio sometimes requires 5 total shots for efficacy. This is how vaccines work.

Comparing polio to a respiratory virus that mutates quickly.

There is literally a post here about a fellow Ag currently fighting this in the ER. Posters on this board have lost family and friends. I know that you and politics board heroes never get sick and this is just a "weak ass virus" but in this board the minimization of this pandemic is not welcome nor tolerated. If you want to troll and insult the medical professionals and those who lost people then take it to F16.

This vaccine saves lives. As staff has repeatedly said, this is not the board to debate or minimize that fact and peoples lives in danger.

Nowhere in this particular post is the virus minimized or ridiculed.

I went in last week for my annual physical. My doc has been our family doc for 30 years. He is an Aggie and I trust him.
He said he and many docs he knows are seeing lots of patients that have some kind of issues if they had Covid ... mild cases or severe. These issues are all over the place... heart, neurological, hearing, skin problems, permanent hair loss, permanent taste and smell loss, intestinal issues etc.
He said 100% of the ones he is treating for these issues did not get the vaccine.
He is not a vaccine mandate guy, nor does he push the vaccines on his patients ( he left it up to us) but he did say that he thought the risk and benefits of the vaccine and boosters by far outweigh what long term bad effects you can have from getting Covid.... which he says he is seeing more and more in his patients who were unvaccinated and had Covid.
Worth thinking about.

The only problem is that the vaccine does little if anything to prevent transmission.

For the sake of argument, even if that is true, especially if you have family and kids, minimizing dangers to your health is a essential. Getting well doesn't even mean 100% with long covid.

Trust me, when you're in that hospital ICU bed, the only thought going through your mind while looking over at your wife sleeping in the chair next to you, is terror at leaving her alone to raise the kids, how they will survive financially.
