    Just wait until Big Pharma gets their britches sued off for the vaccine...I think this thread will be around for a good while longer. Which means you are probably right.

    You know that strain has always been out of circulation by the time it hits the market.

    They acknowledged this from the first booster. Each every time it was approved by the time the booster hit the market the strain it was designed for was out of circulation or basically out of circulation. But hey. Go take a shot for the strain that is out of circulation if you wish.

    Why let the facts get in the way of a good rant? Fact is, the current booster is for the variant that makes up 70% of current cases. And even if you are vaccinated but get infected by a different variant, chances are you will have some protection. Variants aren't that different from one another.

    COVID, like the flu, will eventually settle into a small number of variants that will be dominant. It's natural selection. Difference is, the "flu" is actually made up of four viral types, each with variants.

    You keep pumping your self with a booster designed for a strain that has been long gone. Justify it with being a sub variant all you want. It is designed for a strain that is no longer in circulation. And has been basically since it hit the market.

    Your ignorance of science and microbiology is astounding. Please explain how the current vaccine is for a variant no longer in circulation when said variant is currently responsible for 70% of infections.

    You are wrong again as usual. The second Covid shot was not useless because, at the time, there was still a lot of the original Covid still around that had not yet mutated.

    Did you go to college? What was your degree? My undergrad degree was in Microbiology/Immunology/Virology. My doctorates are in Dentistry/Oral Surgery. Please stop posting your opinions as fact.

    I have a BABA specialization it Industrial Engineering and a Masters Industrial Engineering from UF if that matters to you.

    If you took the second covid shot (booster) you are dumber than a college educated person imo...

    Do you understand why the original covid shot failed at epic proportions? It was designed for the alpha variant. And delta had become the dominant variant. Good grief with your education it is sad you cannot comprehend basic medicine.

    Going out to dinner with one of the best Oral Surgeons out there tomorrow night. He never took the shot! And he will tell you why (seriously he will in a way you might respect more than my reason why even though it is the same reason)!!!

    LOL!

    Just google what the current booster targets... JN.1

    Then click your link.

    Then look at how many JN.1 cases there are.

    0%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Again. If you want to use some subvariant excuse to put your immune system to work for no reason.
    Go for it. But not a smart move to be healthy if you aske me.
