@patriciacampbell6443 Really? One of my closest friends who always votes Republican and who practices marksmanship tried to get me to take the vaccine. Now she is sorry she got vaccinated. She did it for her elderly dad, thinking she was protecting him. If my dad had been alive, it probably would have tipped the balance for me as well. I am far left, by the way. In other countries, the left opposed the mandates. In France the left made it illegal to so much as ask a minor if they were vaccinated, much less to try to force them to take it. After that, no one was asked anymore. Never follow just American health advice. If Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, etc., aren't doing it -- don't do it. Whatever "it" is!

@cassiescornerreviews6884 The business about "variants" is clearly nonsense: they were pushing the VERY SAME mRNA vaccines (as well as other vaccines, in UK, for example) through MANY variants, and making the same unsubstantiated claims about their efficacy in reducing spread.

They are used to lying now.

@cassiescornerreviews6884 No we did not get "updates" with each new variant. The bivalent booster is the only updated version of the vaccine based on a variant of COVID other than the very first virus that emerged in early 2020. In fact, some scientists wondered why there were no updates, given that mRNA is engineered to be more easily updated than other, older types of vaccines. The original vaccine was never known to work "very well against transmission," because it was never subjected to clinical testing to see whether it did. In practice, we saw that it did not, or at least not for more than a few months. We do not know whether the vaccines had a role in helping prevent transmission "somewhat," because that would require a lengthy multi-variate analysis to determine the contributions of the vaccines versus natural exposure and other factors to creating a degree of immunity that can stop transmission as well as severe illness. There may be asymptomatic carriers transmitting COVID at this point. We don't know. It's time to carefully look at what we do and don't know and admit we don't know when we don't. I am not holding my breath.

@phoenixrising2937 I was checking the ministries of health of other countries during this whole time. I even had someone tell me I was lying. They did not believe that Norway or Iceland or Switzerland HAD websites up! They all did, in several languages, including English.

Question: Is ANYTHING we are ever told based on real science or public interest? Or is it all about follow the money all the time? Ha ha ha, just kidding.

Wait, did this happen??

@cassiescornerreviews6884 What is your source for that? First of all, in Switzerland, the definition of full vaccination includes those who had a proven case of COVID and ONE dose of a two-dose vaccine such as Pfizer (source: their ministry of health). Second, all of these countries have restricted the use of certain vaccines to those over 40 or over 50, and no longer recommend vaccination for the young, or boosters for anyone who is not elderly. Then there are also several special measures taken against mandating vaccination. For example, in France, the National Assembly passed a law prohibiting anyone to ask a minor their vaccine status. It is a crime now to ask, much less mandate, a COVID vaccine for anyone under 18. Naturally, this has effectively ended posing the question, or imposing the mandate, on anyone. Then, the EU parliament subjected pharmaceutical executives to some serious questioning, which exposed the flaws in their initial clinical research. I bet you didn't know all that.
