It’s a workers market. I have recruiters blowing me every day.

Yeah, BoomerFlu caused a mass retirement event. Skilled workers are in high demand.

I don't care the logic or reason behind it, but the testing sites are bullshit. My son (the blond head in the picture) had to be tested because he "has a cold"... So he misses three days of education because the school is paranoid... on top of that where they send us to is literal a makeshift room...

Oh, side note, no heating, no airflow, and it's a fucking joke...

Everyday that goes by more people realize its all bullshit. Soon it will be openly discussed, and should be.

Studies show COVID-19 immunity from Pfizer vaccine wanes after 2 months
- Remember you aren't vaccinated until 2 weeks after.
- Your Jab is only good for 6 weeks

No they won’t: people have committed to this, and vaxx is the new armband.

Here is the Qatar Study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/N ... tured_home

Estimated BNT162b2 effectiveness against any SARS-CoV-2 infection was negligible in the first 2 weeks after the first dose. It increased to 36.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 33.2 to 40.2) in the third week after the first dose and reached its peak at 77.5% (95% CI, 76.4 to 78.6) in the first month after the second dose. Effectiveness declined gradually thereafter, with the decline accelerating after the fourth month to reach approximately 20% in months 5 through 7 after the second dose. Effectiveness against symptomatic infection was higher than effectiveness against asymptomatic infection but waned similarly. Variant-specific effectiveness waned in the same pattern. Effectiveness against any severe, critical, or fatal case of Covid-19 increased rapidly to 66.1% (95% CI, 56.8 to 73.5) by the third week after the first dose and reached 96% or higher in the first 2 months after the second dose; effectiveness persisted at approximately this level for 6 months.

While what is happening in Israel backs up the results from the Qatar study, I do not think the study in the article from Israel tells us much about the long term effectiveness. Waning antibodies does not necessarily mean waning protection. It just means your body is no longer on high alert for the virus. It still has the memory cells available to produce new antibodies if it detects the virus again. Long term protection from a virus has more to do with these memory cells and other mechanisms of your immune system. Now, I will say, in the case of mRNA this may be more relevant than other vaccines, since the scope of the mRNA vaccines is very narrow. Because they are scoped to just protect against the spike protein, they may only be causes an antibody response. If they is the case, then there is little to no long term immunity developed because you are not triggering a full immune response.

One thing that annoys me about most of these studies and reporting is they seem to either focus solely on the mRNA vaccines, or lump all the vaccines together. The J&J vaccine is very different from the mRNA vaccine, they really should not be considered equivalents, as the J&J vaccine is a more traditional vaccine. I would really like to know how bodies are reacting differently to it, and if it does provide better long term protection. I suspect it would, and that is the vaccine I would generally recommend people get if they get a vaccine as it is less experimental.

Given that analysis, natural immunity would be best of all. Surprise!
