During the lockdowns, it was reported that young people were mostly immune to COVID. That it only affected older people. So why the shots and the boosters? I found that curious, maybe it’s nothing.
“So why the shots and the boosters?”
My doctor pushed the vaccine hard. I suspect there was a financial incentive. Either for him or the hospital where he works. A nurse friend said the government/medical community was pushing a hard line on the vaccine and threatening pulling a doctor’s license or his right to work in institutions receiving federal funds. This was at a time when companies were telling employees to get the vaccination or be fired.
When I suggested to the doctor, I’d prefer to get Covid and then take medications for the symptoms, so I’d have natural immunity, he stumbled and then changed the subject. My nurse friend told me that he was unable to prescribe anything other than what the government said for Covid, or he risked his license. Since that didn’t make medical sense, I suspect it made financial sense. Not for him personally, but for the institution.

The PTB said young people had to get vaxxed to protect the old people they would be around and other people with compromised immunity. Some wag called it the “don’t kill grandma” ploy.
