Experts: There's No Such Thing as 'Too Many' COVID Boosters

While experts warn that multiple booster shots may not be the best long-term strategy to end the pandemic, the extra doses won't "exhaust" the immune system.

Indeed. Praise be for Pfizer.


For full disclosure I have $150,000 + invested in Pfizer shares, because they're a company I truly believe in.

Old article: No conflicts of interest to see.

I didn't realise anyone thought there was such a thing as too many Covid vaccines. After all, no one ever seemed to say annual flu vaccines for the rest of one's life was too much.

Flu vacc doesn't contain the new tech and it's been around for years .

Flu vacc doesn't contain the new tech and it's been around for years .

How long does the covid vaccine get labelled as "new", though? It was first administered in December 2020 and most people had their first dose at least a year ago.

Also, it's entirely optional.

 

[rainbowlemon]

It was also promoted as "one shot" only then it became two, three. Now four. (Five in Turkey).

You've also never been forced to lose your job over not taking the flu vaccine.

They're still monitoring the real world data and learning as they go so until everthing is known and investigated then it's still new imo.

 

[rainbowlemon]

Monitoring for pfizer doesn't end until 2023. So still new in my book.

I don't remember one shot being mentioned. Presumably that was while vaccines were still being developed and little was known?

I've found an article dated 8 December 2020 (linked below), which covered the first ever UK dose being administered and it says two doses would be needed. It doesn't make reference to boosters, but I definitely recall the discussion of immunity waning and hence further vaccines would likely be needed.

Covid-19 vaccine: First person receives Pfizer jab in UK

Margaret Keenan, who turns 91 next week, becomes the first person in the world to get the jab as part of a mass vaccination programme, calling it the "best early birthday present".

Ahhhhh, nothing like a bbc article to show a unbiased and valid viewpoint.

Ahhhhh, nothing like a bbc article to show a unbiased and valid viewpoint.

It’s a fact that from the start it was said the vaccine would be in two doses. I think that’s the point @Ensay was making.

 

[peachhes]

Has anyone experienced issues with their periods since the vaccine?

 

[Alexasstop]

Anti vaxxers - do you feel the same about Novavax and Valneva? All the criticism I’ve seen seems to be around the MRA tech. These are the old style but I’ve seen so little chat around them. And we’ve barely ordered any!

 

[Ensay]

Ahhhhh, nothing like a bbc article to show a unbiased and valid viewpoint.

I was using it to show that, on the day the vaccine was first administered in the UK, we knew at least two doses would be needed.

That's just a fact. Nothing to do with bias.

If it helps, I also found a Daily Mail article from the same date that I won't link here (as not many here like to give the DM traffic), but here's a direct excerpt from it:
Patients need two doses, meaning Number 10 has only secured enough doses for around a third of Britain.

AZ is old tech and look at the side effects from that , they've basically binned it off even the poor countries don't want anymore .

It was indeed. It's nice to know I'm not writing in hieroglyphs.

I wonder if the Daily Mail article will make more sense.

 

[monga]

Maybe it will for those with letters after their name as nobody else on here seems to have a problem interpreting articles or understanding other peoples points

I didn`t know tattle had this kind of thread lol

I`m unvaxxed, had COVID in January and I'm fine. It was milder than a cold. I say this because I had a real cold in March and it was
This thing will keep mutating so
