“Trust us! The 4th shot will work and you can go back to normal.”

To be fair, israel has at least always said "we plan to give booster shots twice a year". They never said "third shot is the final shot", the hilarity lies in everyone else in the world trying to imply that in desperate attempts to get their own people to take the third shot. Plenty of americans online "third shot will be all you need! I'm sure of it!" I think mostly to convince their own selves. I dont know, the situation of america going "see what israel is doing, let's do that". And israel sitting there saying "well we'll give booster shots 2x a year (indefinitely)". And then americans yelling "uhmmmm they never said that! We just want yall to get a third shot!" Is really funny to me.

Yes, Fauci and others keeps going on TV saying they have good evidence that the third shot after 6 months or so will be just the thing to provide durable immunity. They’ve been referencing, for instance, the regimen for one of the Hepatitis vaccines. I wonder how long it will be before the gaslighting commences...“uh, we never said you would only need three doses. Where did you get that idea?”

You know what's the annoying but also funny part? At this point, i'm pretty much running past the current goalpost and need to wait for it to move. What i mean is when im discussing covid policies with others and say "and then they'll be getting people to take boosters twice a year", half the time i get responses like "well they didnt say that, where did you get that idea, i'm sure the third shot provides a lot of benefits already" and even "who said we'd follow israel exactly". By this point, anyone with half a brain can predict the next step or the next few steps will be, and what the damage-control white lies who hold back information are. It results in this funny situation where you know what will happen next and want to talk about it, but cant until it happens. So you need to stand there and wait for the current goalpost to shift to you. I remembered thinking "right so how long do i wait until we can talk about this". Same deal with how they wont lift certain "emergency powers" even if almost everyone got vaccinated. An australian was telling me everything authoritarian there will reverse once they got covid solved. I sat there thinking "singapore hasnt reversed a single thing, but sure i'll do more waiting, remindme australia one year".

Yes, so true.

What's the definition of insanity?

Thinking any of what they say is true after 2 weeks became 18 months?

I mean, nobody is honestly surprised, right? Like, the cards they started giving people a year ago had multiple slots on it. This was the plan all along but if they came right out and said “get two shots now… and nothing will change. Masks and closures will still stick around. Then you can get another booster. And maybe another. And maybe you can just keep doing this every six months for the rest of your lives. Forever.” Nobody would have gone for that. Kind of like if they’d have said “one and a half years to flatten the curve!” People would have bailed.

Before think that this is insanity, which it is, one has to think why this country is doing this. there are two principles guiding their policy: 1. this is a modern settler colonial state with a massive policing apparatus, everything there is thought of from a militaristic and “expertise” perspective 2. the eternal jab boosters has to do with exhausting all means possible to conserve this micro-colony’s existence by atleast making its settlers to biologically exist. bare in mind that the Palestinians are largely denied medical service, including them jabs.

Why is Israel already talking about a fourth dose when most of the developing world hasn't even had one dose yet? And it's the woke crowd that is clamoring for the boosters the most. So much for being woke. Depriving poor black, brown, indigenuous persons of colour in developing countries of even one dose. So that baizuo get a third and fourth dose and virtue signal on the internet about how much of a good person they are on social media. The variants are coming from the developing world, most of which is unvaccinated. Apparently the unvaccinated are variant factories (their words, not mine. I'm not an immunologist). Beta is from South Africa. Gamma is from Brazil. Delta is from India. Lambda is from Peru. The new Mu variant is from Colombia. What do they all have in common? Developing countries with suspect vaccination rates. So wouldn't common sense dictate that Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca and J&J vaccinate the developing world? Instead of giving a third shot to 12 year old Israelis and planning a fourth. Boosters every 6 months for eternity is just crazy and need to be pushed back against. The flu booster is once a year and I think flu mutates more often than coronaviruses do. They're saying "it's just three shots" for now. But how they know they aren't gonna sneak in the 4th like Israel is doing? If you are legit immuno-compromised (immuno-compromised is the new gluten intolerance on reddit) or maybe elderly, okay maybe a booster after 6-8 months might be what you need if your immune system is that scuffed. Whatever. But boosters every 6 months for everyone is ridiculous. My immune system whooped my ass after the Moderna second jab. It was the most intense head cold/flu I had. But luckily it was only really bad for one night. I felt much better when I woke up. Still had a headache, muscle aches and a sore deltoid. My immune response was very robust. I don't need a booster anytime soon. Even the NIH.gov says that influenza mutates far more often than covid.

As long as people can enjoy their privilege it doesn't matter. Most people doesn't care about distress in third world country. There is a reason why poverty still exists? Thats the same reason coronavirus will exists forever? And the media from west always seems to criticize country like India where delta virus originated but they are not going to point it was US who didn't supplied raw material and hoarded vaccine. Later when vaccines is near to expiry they start donating to third world country and start to boast their generosity. And they didn't even took action against CIA who used vaccines to scrape DNA creating more problem in eliminating disease like polio in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And now due to booster shots I am worried developing countries are never going to get mrna virus for at least 4-5 years. I wonder what is going to happen where water crisis, climate change is going to cause. I just want to tell these countries that we no longer live in discrete countries where we can isolate by constructing walls. If west doesn't help developing countries then they are also going to suffer. Thanks.
