Pharmacy Guild boss says masks and boosters will be a reality for 'a long time'
Trent Twomey said if 'data' says so, boosters could be needed every 6 months
Booster shortage partly caused by demand for jabs so people can 'party' on NYE

A leading Australian pharmacist says measures such as wearing masks and getting six-monthly Covid-19 vaccinations could be a reality for many years.
Trent Twomey, National President of the Pharmacy Guild, says if modelling shows that its best for people to get a Covid jab 'every six months', then Australians should do so.
He dismissed concerns over lingering vaccine hesitancy and wearing masks, saying Australians 'just need to accept' necessary measures because 'it's pretty simple'.
Mr Twomey told Sky News he believes most Australians 'want to do the right thing' but that they were anxious to know what 'normal' life in the pandemic era looks like.
He predicted the need to wear a mask could remain 'for a long time', but that it’s 'not that inconvenient'.
'I think booster shots, just like your annual influenza shot [are] something we just need to accept, its [Covid-19] not going to be with us for many weeks and months, it’s going to be with us for many years.'
He said in order to remain 'fully vaccinated' people will have to get 'a periodic inoculation'.

Nuremberg trials for the pfascists is “something we need to accept”.
They’re trying to outdo Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, and all the murderous dictators throughout history.
Booster shots for years, but no recognition of natural immunity, i.e. testing for antibodies.
Natural immunity sounds better all the time.
Odd....since we’ve recently read that any actual protection (unfortunately, not HARM!) wanes, closer to six WEEKS.
This is really getting to a retardation level none of us could have ever imagined.
I’m embarrassed to be a human being at this point.
Pharma is the new Big Oil.
Look for the Fauci Ouchi to be required in any month with an r in it.
It's terribly inconvenient to those of us who like to breathe.
Only for morons.
More like every month and occurs they will slowly kill off themselves in the process.
Sounds like the old “get your flu shot every year” game that they have gotten everyone use to, on the theme that each year the vaccine is “improved” to detect the latest mutations/variants.
However, what if your own immunity kept you from a severe flu illness the previous year, is it going to protect you less the following year? Not likely.
I never had a flu vaccine after forced to get one in the 1960s while in the Army (after which I was so ill I was hospitalized for a week during basic training). And I never in all my years before or since had a severe flu illness.
On the other hand a sister of mine and her daughter get the flu vaccine every year without fail, and every year each of them has a major upper respiratory illness that their doctors never bother to identify as the flu.
Your immune system is not designed to protect you from bad bacteria and viruses you already met. It is designed to work out antibody defenses against new pathogens you meet, which number in the millions every day. As it succeeds it remembers formulas that worked and will draw on them as first line defenses but does not stop creating new ones as needed. Seldom does medicine kill the bugs that infect you. Most of what medicine does, when it is necessary, is help defeat the symptoms of an illness while your bodies immune system goes to war against a bug. The medicine keeps your body strong enough for your immune system’s fight. In the end it is your immune system that rids you of the bug.
Screw that. I had two shots, figure I’ll probably get Omicron anyway, so I should be pretty damn well protected. Not going to live the rest of my life in some bubble, or taking a new short every few months.
Count on it.
Been considering an alternative. Why not install booster shots at gasoline stations? Then we can just get them when we drive in to refill? Oh! shoot! Just remembered there won’t be any gasoline stations.
