Commentary: People think they don’t need a fourth COVID-19 shot. They’re wrong
Channel News Asia ^ | 02 Dec 2022 | Khoo Yoong Khean

When COVID-19 first hit, the risk of being infected was much higher than the personal costs of getting the vaccine. In 2022, these considerations are very different, says Duke-NUS Centre for Outbreak Preparedness’ Dr Khoo Yoong Khean.

The fourth COVID-19 jab has been made available for groups of people in Singapore since April, with the updated bivalent mRNA vaccine available to those aged 18 and above since Nov 7.

The bivalent mRNA vaccine targets the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as the Omicron variants, such as BA.1, BA.4/5. Because of the immune evasion properties of the Omicron variants, this updated vaccine will have better protection against COVID-19. They remain well tolerated and the safety profile remains consistent with the previous version of the same vaccines, with mostly mild to moderate adverse effects.

With the increase in coverage against the new variants and a good safety profile, the decision to receive the fourth jab should be clear. But official vaccination statistics suggest that this isn’t so.

Whenever one hears the words “public health” one can be sure there is about to be imposed some protocol that is harmful or potentially harmful to the recipient but has been determined by bureaucrats to be a good idea for their goals.

And so they continue to push a “vaccine” for a “disease” that poses essentially ZERO threat to more than 99% of the world’s population.

People need to stop trying to argue about whether the “vaccines” are “safe” (they clearly aren’t) or “effective” (also clearly, they aren’t), and start arguing about the absolute lack of NECESSITY. Almost no one needs to be “vaccinated” for “COVID”.

I think you’re on to something. To me, each time we take a prescription we add to the side effects that we put our bodies through. When they test them, they aren’t looking for what other drug combos a person could be on. That’s too many variables. Your body is saying enough is enough. I take one prescription only for restless legs, but nothing else other than vitamins and mineral supplements. I have no interest in becoming a walking pharmacy, not if I can help it.

Sorry to hear this. Fauci would tell you it’s a coincidence. I don’t think it is.

“... complaining ...and then in the same post say that they’re going for another shot.”

My cousin died in his recliner a few hours after he and his wife got their second shots. His wife was very ill.

The next week, there she was, traipsing off to get her third.

These people are “upper crust”, highly educated (not in basket weaving or gender studies), successful people. I was gobsmacked when I read his lengthy list of military accomplishments, honors, and medals.

What she did defies logic.

That’s right. The emergency part of the pandemic is over. No need for a shot.

It’s a powder you mix with 3 or 4 ounces of juice or water. I take mine mixed with flavored water. Tastes good.

I also take Phillips Colon Health Daily Probiotic. Good health starts in the mouth and ends in the gut.

“I say encourage all democrats to get as many boosters as possible”

That’s good advice, especially those who aren’t in close proximity to you. I’m a bit fearful of the shedding if they’re TOO close.

The "emergency" part of the "pandemic" was a fraud to begin with. The only reason there was an "emergency" at all, is because they intentionally exaggerated the lethality of "COVID", went out of their way to make sure no one was allowed to get or use proven treatments for it, and went out of their way to kill as many as possible in the hospitals via outright medical malpractice (sedate, ventilate, dehydrate).

There isn't, and never was, any true "emergency", and there isn't, and never has been, any justification for getting "vaccinated" for it, for at least 99% of the population of the planet.

Have the surgery. It was one of the best days of my life. From 20/500 to 20/20 in 15 minutes. First one eye, and two weeks later the second eye. Got the toric.

But, all those Covid tests... I worry about what’s in the swabs.

I agree but to the rest of the pharma loving population, I use some of their terms to help move them past wanting shots or medication for everything. They’re ruining their immune systems, not enhancing them. So please forgive me for trying to use terms they might understand. I’m trying to help them get past the FEAR that the government and media pushed on us.

“I never mentioned the possible connection with the shots because I didn’t want it to cause friction in our long-term relationship.”

I hear you. My dear friend died a few weeks after she and her hubby got their boosters. All logic points to it as being from the shot, but I never would say that to her husband. It wouldn’t resurrect her, and it wouldn’t help him.

“They’re the same ones who sent infected people from the hospital to nursing homes so they could infect all those people who ended up dying.”

My mom was admitted to the hospital in Rochester, NY, early this year for a stomach issue. 98 years old. She was fine. Enter her new roommate: dying with Covid.

Nice try, but Mom didn’t play the game. She didn’t get it. Never has been vaxed.

We were angry, but Mom said she was put there for a reason. She had a few days to witness to the lady before she died.

One tip that worked for me with cataract surgery: the time between the two surgeries is bad because one eye is perfect and the other still isn’t.

Wearing glasses with just one lens for the still-bad eye helps a little but really puts things off kilter.

I still had my contact lenses, so put the one contact in the bad eye. Wonderful!

I am so sorry about your cousin and his wife. Added them (and you) to my prayers.+++

So many of us are now asking “how can they do this,” “why,” etc. I wrestle with it to the point of putting myself into cognitive dissonance and rage. And it breaks my heart. I wish I had an answer, or even some intelligent insight, but I do not. All I can do is turn to the Lord and prayer.

A buddy of mine recently shook his head and muttered “the herd is self-culling. It’s a real-life game of Last Man Standing.”

I checked the stats for New Mexico. There are zero COVID deaths in the last eight days and damn few before that.

There is no reason to continue to take the clot shot.

If you still believe in the nonsense, you should just quit the forum and become a Democrat. They already own your blood and brain.

No worries! I just keep trying to drive home the point that people seem to forget that arguing about the safety or efficacy of the vaccines is a distraction. It obscures the important points, which are that "COVID" is no more of a threat to people than the flu, and that there's no justification for the "vaccines" in the first place.

Failing to be aware of that, people waste time arguing about whether the "vaccines" are "safe" and/or "effective". That is irrelevant. What is relevant is that almost no one needs to be "vaccinated" against "COVID", and therefore, there is absolutely no justification for people being forced to get them. Even IF they were "safe" and "effective", in a free country, people should not be forced to be vaccinated for anything. If a vaccine is actually "effective", then if I am vaccinated, I shouldn't have to care if someone else is or is not. It's their choice, and their problem.

The multi-jabbed, twice-recovered-from-"COVID" Anthony Fauci asking a courtroom recorder to put on a face mask exposes the entire fraud. It suggests that Fauci knows that the "vaccines" are useless, while simultaneously denying that there is any immunity provided from having had, and beaten, the "virus" twice before.

Yes, the vaccines are useless for their declared purpose, and the mask theater is just that. Theater. All of this is theater. It makes me very angry sometimes. I have several family members who have fallen prey to this nonsense, and it is very hard trying to convince them that they were absolutely hoodwinked. They really think the authorities care about them. It’s stunning.

Same here. There are so many people, including close friends and family, that I now realize are far less intelligent, or more lacking in basic critical thinking skills, than I ever imagined.

Sick, w/low to midrange fever, respiratory issues, mild GI issues and feeling like we had been run over by a couple of Amazon vans. Zero energy levels. Doing a simple washer load was an exhausting task.

Basically zero appetite for a few days. Coffee did taste good and daily level was one cup versus 2-3 cups normal each day.

One son and his wife are in great health/shape in their mid 50’s and in their words, became (wimps for a week+).

No extra Rxes nor OTC’s for the crud!

The only thing extra was as much water as we could drink from morning to bed time. Our kidneys and bladders got a workout.
