How many COVID booster shots will finally be enough?

From the beginning of the COVID pandemic starting two years ago, we have heard conflicting and often nonsensical recommendations from those charged with knowing better and leading the country through the biggest public health crisis that most of us have ever experienced.

From “15 days to slow the spread” to mask mandates changing as fast as the weather, reality and science was whatever those in power declared it to be on any given day. First, we were told that masks were worthless in stopping viruses. Shortly thereafter we were told to wear one, then two, then one, now back to none.

Masks are unnecessary in a crowded mall, restaurant, or BLM protest, but life-saving in an elementary school, airport, or airplane which is constantly recirculating and disinfecting the air. Similarly, the vaccines, we were told, would stop transmission and infection with COVID until we learned that they did neither, only reducing the severity of illness and risk of death.

In the U.K. for example, last month 80-90 percent of COVID deaths were among the vaccinated, although the “fact checkers” are eager to claim “misinterpretation” or “lack of context.”

Nothing is permitted to interfere with the preferred narrative.

So, when are vaccinations no longer necessary? When has a country or region reached a sufficient level of herd immunity that life can return to some semblance of normal? Never mind the businesses, families, and lives destroyed by closures and mandates, whose only view of normal is in their rear-view mirrors. Life will never be normal again just as it isn’t for residents of a town devastated by a hurricane or tornado.

Several weeks ago, the New York Times asked: “Who should get a fourth Covid shot?”

Booster makes it sound like it’s working.

It’s boosting Pfizer’s earnings, so it’s working.

Propaganda works. When Covid made another run through town a few months ago nearly everyone who got it was fully “jabbed”

A friend’s mother is a state worker who was required to get the shot and a couple of boosters by her office. She’s now in the hospital with some non-specific problems that have made it impossible for her to function on her own. These problems started with the vaccination and got worse after each one. It now appears she’ll die as she’s just declining daily. Her son thinks it was the vaccination, but the doctors refuse to even discuss it.

This is going to make the tobacco and asbestos lawsuits look like a kindergarden party.

Something like an insulin pump for the vaccine is probably being developed so we can have a continuous infusion.

“Booster shots” are already too many for any protection, as whatever immunity they may provide is fleeting at best, and the repeated infusions of mRNA particles are much more hazardous to health than no vaccination at all.

The Vaccination Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is supposed to be the repository for the aftereffects of the COVID-19 vaccination program, a compendium of the deadly and disabling side effects. The mRNA protocol affects not merely the COVID-19 Wuhan virus particles, but virtually every other living cell that it comes in contact with, acting as a mutagenic agent once it gains access to the nucleus. This can result in serious inflammations, cell damage, or even turn a cell cancerous, depending on how the penetration to the cell nucleus proceeded. Thus you have the anomaly of young people suffering myocardia, strokes, or severe nerve damage, who otherwise would have led long healthy lives in the absence of this assault on the tissues of their bodies.

Is this misinformation? How shall we know, unless a serious and unbiased inquiry is made into the circumstances? And so far, any serious inquiry has been blocked, pretty much on superstitious grounds, the questioning of “science”.

Science, REAL science, is always subject to questioning.

It all depends on when our media masters say, “enough of Putin and Ukraine, not getting the fourth booster will destroy the world and it will be your fault”. After the narrative is changed back, the lemmings will be clamoring for as much poison as the “experts” decide.

Elon Musk Says He ‘Supposedly’ Has Covid Again

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/elon-musk-says-he-e2-80-98supposedly-e2-80-99-has-covid-again/ar-AAVzSGI

There was that time last year when Musk did 4 tests on the same day. Two came out "positive". The other two came out negative. What a bloody joke this all this covid hoax is.

Have the CDC “adjusted” their figures for the usual fraud yet?
