You said people were already getting it. Now you link an article where you say it's a possibility.


In your sad brain, you see this post as a "win". Something is wrong with you. People have gotten a 4th shot. It's inevitable that Fauci will recommend it, along with a 5th, and who knows how many more.

It's obviously not working.

By the way, I've had no shots, take ivermectin prophylactically, and remain covid free and healthy as a horse. My 22 and 20 year olds were forced to vax for college, which infuriated me, but they survived. They will not be getting boosters, I hope. My 18 year old is unvaxed and hopefully will remain so. He is in incredible shape and does not need any help beating covid, especially with healthy kids his age getting myocarditis from the vax.

Where in the US are people getting recommended 4th shots?

I've gotten the two pfizer shots willingly but it's highly obvious that a 4th shot will be recommended by the CDC and goalposts changed again. And stop comparing it to a yearly flu shot or a tetanus shot.

For the CDC to regain credibility, they need to admit fault and admit that vaccines do nothing consequential to slow spread and infection. They need to admit fault for masks as well.

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.
I have seen hundreds of articles (not mainstream media, of course, because they avoid any negative covid coverage at all costs) showing vaccinated individuals around the world still get sick and get admitted to hospitals just like everyone else. In addition, vaccines and herd immunity seem to be ineffective against Omicron.

At this point, I'm starting to suspect doctors are getting paid to push the vaccines onto everyone. I went to my general practitioner's office a few months back for my yearly well check, and he had an article from the local newspaper hanging in his office with signatures of hundreds of local doctor that signed in agreement with the article.

It basically said "we are doctors and we know more than you and can assure you that the information out there questioning the vaccines is false information."

The article gave no analysis or evidence supporting their claims. It was just more "trust the science" with no actual proof. The problem is, we are doing our own research that shows too many issues with the vaccines or successful alternative treatments that are working and documented that they are working.

Yet you don't post any proof of your comments? Where exactly are these "articles" posted?
And when did you ever post 100% undeniable proof that masks work while preaching it no this forum? Stones, glass houses.
Not sure I ever attributed my belief to hundreds of articles either. Why so defensive? How can I see the light if the 100's of non mainstream sources aren't provided, not even a single one?

You can't be serious. The reason the vaccine didn't work as well as planned is because you haven't boosted. The reason the booster didn't work is because you haven't got a second booster. The reason masks didn't work is because too many people didn't wear them. They will never admit mishandling or misinformation, they'll just triple down in stupid and triple down on draconian mandates.

Some will never mentally recover from this.

There will be individuals who won't allow people to come see them if they haven't had a booster even if it has already been shown that it does nothing to consequentially stop spread or infection.

You know it will happen. Be patient.

He didn't claim it "will happen". He said it was already happening to a poster living in the US. Was he wrong or right?

Where did I say this? What you posted is NOT TRUE! I'm not surprised.

Here's my post.

"Just to clarify, it's not THE booster shot, it's A booster shot. You are debating whether to get a 3rd shot, I assume, when there's already people getting a 4th. Just say no.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/01/03/israel-covid-booster-fourth-dose-60/ "


I linked to an article where people in Israel are getting a 4th shot. I later linked to an articled where Fauci mentions a 4th shot might be needed.

The shots aren't working. They're NOT completely safe, and you are pathetically making **** up daily that's not true.

For the CDC to regain credibility, they need to admit fault and admit that vaccines do nothing consequential to slow spread and infection. They need to admit fault for masks as well.

For the 1000th time, they've said since almost the beginning that vaccines are NOT a force field, it will NOT block the virus from coming into your body if somebody infected is breathing into your face. Once it comes in though, the symptoms are less, hospitalizations are less, you get less sick and better faster, which directly leads to slowing spread and infection.

We get it, you've made up your mind to never trust the CDC ever, thats your right. however misguided it is.

Even the vaunted smallpox vaccine that eradicated the disease off the planet did not give lifetime immunity, and was recommended you get 'booster' shots every few years.

I'm going to piggyback off this thread.

32 y.o., 25.8 BMI, J&J on 3/31/21, O+ blood type.

Relatively active with 2 kids under 5. Not a great workout routine but they sure keep me moving.

Last Texas Cares run in October showed no N protein but 109 S protein.

I can't tell you the last time I got any sort of cold, never had the flu. I'm hesitant to get the booster due to potential side effects (despite not having much of an issue the first round) and low risk of severe disease for my age demographic.

Logical decision?

Why? A growing list of evidence shows T-Cell immuninity is long lived and marginally impacted by the Omicron mutations (i.e. protection against severe disease remains strong).

A temporary boost in antibodies may prevent infection, but data increasingly shows the benefit for most individuals to be moderate and short lived.

For me? I would rather deal with the sniffles than getting super sick. So that's why I would go with getting boosted.

The same reason he gets a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shot.

I don't see the need for a 4th one if we are all going to get Covid anyway. It's literally a matter of WHEN we are going to get it and HOW sick we are going to get. I personally don't want to get super sick, so getting boosted is one of way of ensuring that I won't wind up in the hospital.

Wouldn't an additional booster further ensure you don't wind up in the hospital? Can't be too careful.

No. I am assuming I'm going to catch covid. So I'll have the natural immunity and the boosted immunity.

Sorry, I'll draw a picture for you next time.

You said you would get boosted (I assume your 3rd shot) because it will reduce the symptoms and help ensure you don't go to the hospital.

Wouldn't a 2nd booster (4th shot) help even more? Especially since you're 100% convinced you will get covid.

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

I think what you meant to say is I was wrong to ridicule the idea that a 4th shot will soon be discussed as necessary.

No 4th shot is recommended for anyone in the US. It remains a dumb comment.

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.
