The problem is that people really do not trust them that much anymore. There are way too many data points on people who’ve gotten them getting COVID, and then reinfections in short order. The only benefit is, supposedly, keeping people from getting a bad case of COVID
The first tallies for the new bivalent booster are out, with some 4.4 million people in the U.S. having received the updated shot, according to health officials. Meanwhile, public health experts continue to fret about President Joe Biden’s recent remark that “the pandemic is over.”
Health experts said it is too early to predict whether demand would match up with the 171 million doses of the new booster that the U.S. ordered for the fall, the Associated Press reported. The new shot targets the most common omicron strains as well as the original virus strain.
“No one would go looking at our flu shot uptake at this point and be like, ‘Oh, what a disaster,’” David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told the AP. “If we start to see a large uptick in cases, I think we’re going to see a lot of people getting the [new COVID] vaccine.”
Most have moved on. A lot of people have removed themselves from the mask cult. And no one trusts the data on how good the booster works.
The daily average for new cases stood at 55,591 on Thursday, according to a New York Times tracker, down 19% from two weeks ago. But cases are rising in 20 states, and are up by a lot in some.
Washington state has seen a 47% increase in cases in the last two weeks, while New York is up 45%, Massachusetts is up 40%, Maine is up 36% and New Jersey is up 32%.
So, places which had been epicenters of COVID vaccine worship and massive restricts. The Powers That Be want to try to keep scaring us. Most of us are done with this.
Teach is just another vaccinated nuCon elitist discouraging vaccination!

Yes, significantly reducing death, reducing the spread of Covid and long Covid is of no benefit according to Teach.
It’s likely we’ll see a new wave of infections this winter, also likely a new variant.
About 500 Americans still die every day from Covid.

What does that have to do with the um… “vaccine”?
Pups,
According to Jeff via his other comments, that means Biden is killing 500 people per day.
Fish-belly admits that Brandon is president!
Seriously?! It’s very well documented by now that the “jabs” destroy the immune system, damage hearts, damage the nervous system, create variants, destroy sperm and ova, cause deadly rubbery clots in the circulatory system, ENCOURAGE re-infection and on and on. 95% of Covid patients in ICUs are VAXXED! Do some homework, Elmer.
The Covid vaccines are no more dangerous than any vaccine.
Do some real research, jeremiah.
Jeff,
We have come to expect that if you make a pronouncement without reference, it is a lie.
Fish-belly,
So I guess you have credible evidence that the Covid vaccines are particularly dangerous?
All you do is whine and deny.
NOTHING called “COVID” has ever been isolated or PROVEN TO EXIST.
You don’t have the faintest clue, do you?
The SARS-CoV-2 virus and variants are responsible for an infectious disease called Covid-19.
From Time magazine, not exactly an evil reich-wing or anti-vaxxer source:
There’s more at the original, and while Time has a paywall, your first couple of articles are free.
People “really do not trust (the COVID experts) that much anymore,” our esteemed host wrote. At a certain point, it has to be asked: has anything that the “experts” have told the American people turned out to be true?
No.
COVID-19 vaccines were designed primarily to prevent severe disease and death
This is obviously false. The Vaccine was clearly touted by everyone from Dr. Fauci, to Joe Biden, to Rachel Maddows as BEING THE END OF COVID. YOU TAKE THIS SHOT AND YOU DON’T GET COVID, AND YOU CAN’T SPREAD COVID.
It was a complete lie. And Dr. Fauci has a long history, documented by Bobby Kennedy Jr. Not a right winger, of engaging in lies before while promoting vaccines as a solution.
LOL @ “LONG COVID”.
How retarded can you get?
The vaccines reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of Covid. According to Dana, they also reduce the incidence of Long-Covid 15-50%.
The new variants of SARS-CoV-2 appear to be extremely infectious so the precautions that people were taking previously, masking, hand washing, distancing are just as important now.
At a certain point, it has to be asked: has anything the winger “pseudo-experts” told the American people turned out to be true?
Of course Jeff, this is we’re we ask for stats from a reliable source.
Fish-belly,
You’ve seen all the papers and data, and choose to ignore all. You feel/believe that the CDC, NIH, FDA can’t be trusted but FOX and bloggers can. You feel/believe that researchers are on the take and corrupt.
Here and here are a couple of 2022 meta-analyses on vaccine efficacy. They conclude that the vaccines reduce transmission, morbidity and mortality.
Your beliefs trump data.
Rimjob: You feel/believe that the CDC, NIH, FDA can’t be trusted…
You bet your ass they can’t.
Just like you.

Your kidding, right? How much projection can you do till you have to join the union? There is NOTHING you lying crapheads and proponents of the Wuhan scam/scare have said that is the truth from “Two weeks to bend the curve” to “The vaccine will protect you from getting the Wuhan flu and stop you from spreading it”. NOTHING!
You are the most arrogant and ignorant people on earth.
L’Roy,
There is no credible, reliable evidence that hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are effective against Covid; or that the Chinese created the virus in a lab; or that masks are not effective; or that the vaccines are especially dangerous; Or that the vaccines are ineffective.
All you seem to have are name-calling and unsubstantiated claims.
But then you believe Donald Q Trump is the president. You believe the Chinese engineered the virus. You believe Covid is no more dangerous than influenza. You believe there exists a global conspiracy to turn the world’s representative democracies into communist hellholes. You believe being asked to wear a mask is oppression.
We understand the there’s much you believe but not necessarily understand. You are the most arrogant and ignorant people on Earth.
Rimjob: There is no credible, reliable evidence that hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are effective against Covid… blah, blah, blah.
Except for the overwhelming number of proven cases worldwide.
Whine more, cry harder.

Yes, it make perfect sense that the State with the highest vax numbers also have the highest Covid numbers. How many people are dying from it in Florida?
Israel had a vaccination rate over 90%. Now their booster rate is 2%.
They have seen first hand the death and destruction.
The states with the highest death per capita rates are red states. NJ is an exception but the majority of their deaths occured before vaccines were available
Gyp please cite the many times Gauci said vaccination was 100% effective
You also seem to have forgotten who was POTUS at the time the vaccine was earp speeded in production
In case you forgot that would have been ex President Trump
Everything is Trumps fault, eh asshole? Do you think you’ll ever get over this cross projection of your own faults, fallacies and lies?
MAGA, moron.
Another fallacy Hairy. Casual this time.
MAGA
