Your COVID vaccine booster might be a patch or a pill. Or it might come with your flu shot.

While the Biden administration has been racing to maximize the number of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, government researchers have also been working on what form the next generation of vaccines will take.

They may be combined with the seasonal flu vaccine, or could come in the form of pills or patches instead of shots. Scientists also envision vaccines that might shield against viruses beyond SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) that could avert future pandemics.

And they're evaluating whether those who are fully vaccinated might need booster shots later this year.

Only way that will happen is in “my concentration camp”.

What irritates me is “our vaccinations”. It’s like it’s nursery school cookie time or something. Devolution continues.

They’re just going to sneak it in to whatever to get people to take it. It’s so good and works so well, 24/7 propaganda is needed.

it could become much more deadly first and it probably will IMHO.

Currently if you come down with Covid and you are under 40 with no health problems your chances of dying are less than 0.03%. That is 3 out of 10,000 for those who have trouble with percentages. To put this number into perspective... your chances of dying in a car crash during your lifetime is currently ten times higher than this. Your chance of developing and dying from cancer during your lifetime are currently 700 times greater than this. So yes the chances good that Covid will cause a larger percentage of deaths in the future. It is unlikely that Covid will ever present as much risk as falling which is currently over 11 times greater during your lifetime.

Every member of the Ant-Mask, Anti-Vaccine, Covid Denial team has their own own mortality rate statistic. It’s all a bunch of BS-everything you guys say and write. I will not listen to you. I reject everything you say and I’m thankful you aren’t establishing healthcare policy in this country. I’m done arguing with you.

Have we even had an argument? I am certainly not an antivaxer. As the head of a Hazmat Team I most likely have had a dozen times the number of vaccines that you have. Every statistic I quoted in the post you are responding to is easily verified and came from the CDC itself. If you want to be a sheeple and let the Democrats and mainstream media manipulate and keep you alarmed, then that is your business. You are rude to many people on this forum for no reason. Personally, I think you are a gullible fool and have insulted me and many others for no good reason. But that is one of the positives about this situation... it has helped revea the true character of many people.

The explanations that you give are typically poorly repeated nonsense that you have little understanding of. You must be a real treat to live or work with.

FU. I have explained my arguments over and over with an abundance of supporting links from reputable scientific sources. You’re a bunch of conspiracy theorists. I’m done with you. I feel dumber every time I talk to one of you people and I don’t want your insanity rubbing off on me. I have nothing further to say to you or to any of the other members of the anti-mask, anti-vaccine Covid denial team.

You know what’s interesting about vets and rabies vaccinations is? IIRC, before getting vaccinated again, aren’t titers usually done to see if a booster is needed? And depending on the results, a booster may not be necessary?

But we’re not doing that for WuFlu, are we?

Thanks for making my morning! What is a spoiled, foul mouthed little girl like you even doing here? So you are "following the science" and providing us with valuable links? What a laugh! You do provide some entertainment value to the rest of us, but probably not in the way that you think. More along the lines of the obnoxious farts my geriatric dog releases when she is relaxing while laying nearby, than dazzling us with your intellectual musings.

I went looking for the "links" that you have supposedly been providing in your recent posting history. Do you know how many I found? ZERO

Here is the theoretical construct that you ought to be looking into...

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability." "

As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the bias results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others". It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their level of competence."

Another LibbyLu-like meltdown, by one of the BCs.

I think they know their façade, with this ShamDemIc, is cracking.

Yes, facts and common sense causes the same reaction that Slim Whitman's yodelling does on Martian invaders:

More seriously, there was an interesting interview with Dinesh D'Souza in the Epoch Times this morning...

But you still love me, right RC?

Haha. Love it.

You know what cgbg? This just hit me. Your post triggered me.

I used to not think twice about vaccines. But this whole covid drama has taught me a lot.

The lies from the 'medical community', both at large and right here on good old FR, have convinced me into becoming a full time anti-vax conspiracy factist.

Those derps at the top of the food chain that are manipulating everything do NOT have the people's best interests at heart and are not to be trusted.

I'm with you. They'll have to tackle me down to stick their voodoo potions into my arm.

Look what you did, you incredulous vax drones.

*looking at you, FRoctors*

with a piss poor attitude like yours why should anyone believe that you’re a “medical professional” that you so often claim to be???...

Florence Nightingale he is not.

Male nurses and other 'medical professionals' often have mental health issues. Its the stress of the work and the god complex f'ng with their heads.

FU. I’m sitting in the vaccine clinic right now.

Sitting in the vaccine clinic makes all knowledge of vaccine and genetics magically seep into your brain. And it makes your brain bigger too. Science!

Can we get the opinion of the janitor that cleans up in there?

Thanks.

Oh noes, we’re all gonna die now!

Funny thing is, we ARE all gonna die.

I prefer to do it with pure blood.

So that’s how you’re going to convince yourself that you aren’t a moron? Semantics. LMAO! Whatever. Sleep well tonight.

As an unbiased observer, whether the poster got a rabies shot or not is not semantics, but rather a matter of fact.

You seem off your game today, RC. Tough night?

IMHO.

When I notice you having a 'humble opinion', I'll let yuou know, RC.

Again, as an unbiased observer.

Coincidentally, so does every member of the so-called 'medical community'.
