How many times do we have to get vaccinated ?

The virus is "endemic"-----everywhere.

A Pandemic.

The bubonic plague isn't endemic in this country even though it was present in this UK during the 14th century and the Spanish flu isn't endemic in this country even though it was present in the UK in 1918-20. Those two viruses are now long gone in this country and the plague is back in tiny isolated spots in Asia where it came from.

We'll have to get boosters as often as the pharmaceutical industry can get government approval & government funding for em. The more shots they give us, the more money they make. If I express concern about these vaccines, people accuse me of thinking that vaccines cause autism or that parents should have the right to endanger their kids health for moral & religious reasons or I get accused of wanting people to have to watch their loved 1s suffer & die, & I also get called a Trump supporter NONE of this is remotely true but I get tossed into those categories

I saw a news video of people in war-torn Syria in hospitals with the virus especially toddlers, it depresses and it leaves me with the impression that we are still very far away from any end to it even though up to today over 45% of the globe has been vaccinated (with at least one dose). Also over here in the UK, they are still talking about further restrictions and possible lock downs even though over 70% of the UK has been vaccinated. It does feel like my position on lock downs and stuff is beginning to change even though I accepted them before. It as though I'm becoming disillusioned by it now because we did all these things to keep us safe before the vaccines existed.

How many times will I get vaccinated?
As many times as necessary and probably more then necessary out of abundance of caution.

I will get vaccinated as often as I am required to in order to maintain a tiny bit more personal freedom when leaving my home even if I end up committing suicide the next day. I was delirious the day after I got my 2nd Pfizer vaccine & apparently I was talking about blowing my face off with a shotgun. I don't remember that but my girlfriend sure did I haven't really thought about killing myself in probably at least 12 years. Maybe some of the meds I'm on had an interaction with that vaccine Very ironic because lots of people were insisting that we would die if we didn't get vaxed. I'm d@mned if I do & d@mned if I don't & the cr@p on this planet is rapidly getting worse so I'd rather gamble trying to win a tad more freedom than gamble trying to win a longer life. There is a huge difference between living & being alive.

I also seem to think that whenever we might think that there will be an end to it sooner it is then dashed by other revelations to do with the virus. When the vaccines arrived, we were probably all responding with high hopes that the end for this pandemic will come sooner, the vaccines are very effective against deaths and hospitalisations but not so much on the transmission and then some scientists have said that herd immunity may not be achievable now because of other strains. The delta variant is now the most widespread. The threshold for herd immunity to this strain is between 80 and 88%. Someone also said that it maybe not herd immunity we need but we may need ''herd immunities'' against the new strains. I presume we may have now hit the immunity threshold of the original strain from 2020 (58-71%). But I seem to feel like we will just be going through a never-ending cycle of boosters then dealing with another strain and then boosting again, its like the virus is always going many more steps ahead us and we will never catch up to it and that the whole world has to then catch up with a new strain.

I'll post this shortish article about a small survey/study here

I have had three vaccinations.

The most recent was in June as part of an experimental trial within the NHS.

I still caught Covid last week.

Started to feel a little better today but all the same I feel as though I have been run over by a truck. And I have 100% smell and taste loss. 100%. I hope that it comes back as its weird being without them.

Perhaps if I hadnt received three doses it would have hit me harder?

I have sometimes wondered if it is the case that vaccinated people can still pass on the virus, what happens when eventually nearly 100% of people on the planet have been vaccinated ? Do they still pass it on ? If one or two countries on the planet are not completely vaccinated and the rest of the world is vaccinated does it still present a threat to the rest of us ? I asked this question to someone once and they said not really, it means that the virus is being squeezed in.
