With there being up to 15 to 20 boosters being administered over the next 5 years.(widely reported) this is a fact. Even for young healthy adults and children … how many are you willing to take before you give up and become “unvaccinated” ??

How can it be yearly when we are on our 1st booster after 6 months?

they said that its likely to become yearly boosters.. currently the booster was needed at 6 months but they are looking at adjusting the vaccines I believe. But even at 2 a year.. that would not be 15 to 20 over 5 years

But the Booster threshold is dropping to 3 months.

That said, I expect it to be a couple a year for a year or two, then settle down into an annual flu-esque jab.

Fair enough we have different information … with there being 2 new variants per year and vaccine protection only lasting 6 months before it starts wane … it will be interesting to see which of the “sciences” predictions will be correct

it's not dropped to three months, they have just brought it forward for those that havent had it as they have found that the booster increased the benefits by a considerable amount. So with the new variant and winter looming and people mixing more they decided to lower it.

If they are quarterly I really don't see a problem. I have a flu vax every year + 2 Jabs and a Booster. So far.

The Vax has been in people arms for almost two years - millions and millions and millions of them - and no major mass concerns are being reported.

The main difference I can see so far is that the definition of vaccine was changed shortly before the vaccine release … if the change in definition wasn’t made they would have to call it a gene therapy … which it is … also the flu vaccine is a traditional vaccine I.e under the previous definition.

It's a terrible illness - much like flu is. and can lead to weakened heart responses too.

I would tell everyone to have the pneumonia vaccine - they are expensive about £85 but worth every penny. And one should last your lifetime.

How can it be yearly when we are on our 1st booster after 6 months?

But the Booster threshold is dropping to 3 months.

So it has dropped from six months after the 2nd jab to three months then.

When the science shows that the immunity to the virus is dropping I will get another booster if that is 6 monthly until they adjust the vaccine to give a longer duration of protection so be it, scientific knowledge of this virus is growing daily and the more they learn the more they will be able to adjust the vaccines to give a better stronger immune response.

Small point of order - the vaxes were approved in the UK a year ago. Most other countries were later approving.

They've not been in arms for 2 years (trials aside, but theyre closer to 18 months) but mostly in the UK 9-12 months and worldwide closer to 6-9 months.

See I see it slightly differently - as many more should too - if I am vaxxed, and I protect myself then there is a much less chance of me blocking a bed in a hospital to someone that really does need it. So I am protecting others transmissible or not.

near you...

No-one but no-one knows for sure right now. It depends on a number of scientific factors like how fast the virus will mutate and how adequate the last boosters are in dealing with new variants of concern.

There are also human factors. Not everyone can have a booster. Not everyone wants a booster. Not everyone can take time off to have the booster and deal with side effects.

Lots of questions, fuxk all answers right now. All we can deal with is the here and now and hope for better news.

I will take what the scientists say is required. I don't know enough to second guess them and having only 1 when 2 are required is a bit like having half a parachute.

As a child and young man I travelled and had numerous vaccinations for things like measels, mumps, polio, tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough, typhoid, yellow fever, etc etc. I never caught any of them and rarely suffered more than a few hours of discomfort. For me vaccinations work and I take what is offered.

Not so. You can still catch it and still pass it on, but significant protection is afforded against both.

But even if the gain was marginal it would be worth it regardless.

I don't get the flu jab, so it's a good question. But there's probably more risk for me with Covid so I will keep going while the variants are causing a reasonable amount of issues in my age group and / or if it helps mitigate spread (this may change with variants)

But I do accept that this may be ongoing. And that's okay. People pop pills to manage "stuff" on a daily basis. I don't see this being a while lot different.

I caught Covid in January, had two jabs and then caught it again in July. Both times confirmed via a PCR test. So I wouldn’t assume too much about immunity. I’ve just had my booster. I’ll keep taking the boosters as long as it’s required to live life to the fullest, eg for travel

"Natural immunity gives longer and better protection than any vaccine on earth … "

Almost everything I've read suggests precisely the opposite - that (covid) vaccine induced immunity is usually stronger than infection acquired immunity, particularly...

"therefore having survived COVID easily"

...if the original infection was mild.

By that logic, I would decide to take the booster in your situation. But then I'm fairly firmly in the camp of taking boosters as and when scientific consensus advises that the reward outweighs the risk, so I guess I would anyway.

Exactly what I was about to type. Natural immunity is not better than vaccine induced immunity. That's a myth.

No not almost unvaccinated at all you just have a lesser chance that your immune system will recognise the virus and mount a robust immune response meaning the virus may have a better chance to infect your body and make you really ill if you come into contact with it.

My husband gets all sorts of jabs to work abroad, has done for many years even has an old battered vaccine card with loads of stamps in it.

Think he got more vaccine than blood.

Only had one reaction, sweats and shakes during the journey but ok after a few days.

Meanwhile, as you get older, your immune system gets less effective. The Thymus gland, which produces the T lymphocytes, becomes less effective in a process called thymic involution. Then again, the protection conferred, either by infection or vaccination, wanes in many people, in some no protection is gained at all.

It’s only better against the precise strain you were infected with.

Or we’d only ever get cold/flu once.

These types of viruses mutate rapidly, that’s why we have a yearly flu vaccine.

The UK health minister announced in Parliament the other day that the JVCI has approved booster shots intervals for everyone over the age of 18 from a booster every 6 months down to a booster every 3 months for anyone wishes to avail… so the last time I was at school 12 months divided by 3 months was 4 so that’s 4 booster vaccines a year! if Covid continues for another 4 years for example then that 16 boosters along with your ‘fully vaccinated double jabbed’ takes the total to 18 injections…

To all those virtue signallers patting themselves on the back for dutifully wearing their maskes and casigating others for choosing not to. Well please carry on. You keep telling everyone it's easy so it's no big deal is it. Oh I see. You only do the easy bit for society's good do you. I wonder how many of you will alter your lives and activities amd those of your partners and families in other more difficult ways for the common good and to save the NHS. It sounds like many of you will be very keen to have annual flu jabs not because you're at risk but because of the risk to others. Good for you. I'm sure you'll also all give up smoking and drinking and taking drugs too just so you don't take up any hospital beds at the worst possible time. I know you definitely won't ever get d*unk and forget to wash your hands or wear that mask in public eh. No, you'll be perfrect citizens and give up dangerous sports and other activities you engage in because you might get hurt and god forbid, take up a hospital bed needed by others. Yes of course you will lol.

The 'sense' of the Booster is to top up the the waning antibodies over time.

I can explain because I'm one of them.

I am aware that there is the risk of an adverse reaction to the jab.

I weighed up that risk against the possible good it may do. I thought the balance of risk supported me having the two jabs. I don't know if I was right but what's done is done.

But if I keep on taking more injections the balance of risk of adverse reaction constantly increases. I've now taken the degree of risk I'm comfortable with ...no more

Not sure he really did ...

New variants come about from natural mutations of the COVID-19 virus. These mutations can affect how transmissible the virus is; how likely someone is to become seriously ill; and – crucially – how effective the current COVID-19 vaccines are in offering protection....

There is still much we do not know about the omicron variant, the most crucial is that question about how effective the vaccine will be in offering us protection. The greatest concern is that the virus has mutated to such an extent that our immune systems, trained by the vaccine, no longer recognise the virus and no longer trigger an immune response. This sort of variant is know as a ‘vaccine escape’ variant.

I have natural immunity, if it wasn’t for my partner to feel rough I wouldn’t be having a clue that I was positive. I also did about 10 lateral tests at the time and never showed positive, just the PCR. So I have no plans to play around with my immune system. If my health will deteriorate so badly at some point in the future then I might consider vaccination, boosters etc…never say never.

Had both jabs (AZ) and then the Pfizer booster two weeks ago. Worse side effect was a sore arm as if punched for about 2 days from the Pfizer.

Bizarrely since the booster the Catarrh problems i had seem to have gone.

Everyone i know who has been double jabbed and boosted has had little more than a sore arm and a headache at most.

Only bloke at work who has had no jab because he is young (28) fit and healthy has gone down with Covid and by all accounts is not very well at all. His close friend and workmate (double jabbed, to young for booster) was with him all over a weekend and has not caught it and has been testing every day even though no symptoms.

What is it with the irrational argument over long term studies! Do people not understand that no medicines would exist today, from antibiotics to a whole heap of different vaccines, if you waited for long term studies! And the average life expectancy would still be mid 40s with killer diseases like TB, smallpox, yellow fever etc rife. Aren't 8bn doses delivered worldwide and minimal adverse reactions and deaths enough evidence that the vaccines work. You're 36 time more likely to die from Covid if you're unvaccinated. Deciding not to vaccinate is like betting on a one legged horse against a field of Formula One cars. Good luck!

Is there evidence to show that the body's natural immune system forgets aren't each and every person built and designed differently.is their evidence to show that the body is able to produce antibodies for viruses that has not been around.

Even naturally generated antibodies from a Covid infection will not reoccur once the immune system forgets.

perhaps ‘forget” is the wrong term.

Something like measles hardly changes so a vaccine is needed just once whereas respiratory illnesses mutate and can do so rapidly and frequently hence the need for boosters / yearly shots.

If no infection is around the antibodies will gradually diminish and mutation may not trigger new production hence the concern over omicron.

A booster / yearly jab stimulates the immune system to produce the antibodies then hopefully there is less chance of infection and / or serious disease.

There’s a good article on Livescience.com titled why do we develop lifelong immunity to some diseases but not others.

I wear a mask all day as a front line medic and do so when in shops, supermarkets or entering a pub.

You are 100% correct,

I don't find it a chore nor do I find washing my hands an inconvenience.

I also don't believe I'm a hypocrite or a kill joy.

I think at this stage you do what you think is best.

If you want to wear a mask, wash your hands regularly and try, as much as possible, to make a bit of space, that's fine.

If you don't that's fine too.

Do I judge you. Not at all, you don't enter my radar.

Will I also lock myself away. Absolutely not, I still go to the pub but not the ones that are rammed out.

It is certainly your choice and I have heard few people say the same thing, but it feels to me like walking two thirds of the way there and then walking all the way back. "

Maybe but I've have reasons x

What is the premise of this question?

That there is a number or frequency of booster that will be inconvenient and then we’ll skip it?

That there is some notional threshold that will introduce some as yet unknown or unproven risk factor?

That there is a threshold of ‘can’t be arsed’?

- sensible answer and would expect from all but the anti VAX brigade would be as many as it takes to keep us safe. Be that monthly, quarterly, annually or whatever.

Young fit and healthy people will definitely skip it … parents won’t force there children to take it they will also skip it … meaning with every new booster more unvaxxed people will exist … meaning when the vaccine passport is rolled out like in Ireland Scotland and Wales … you will most likely see the breakdown of society with mass rebellion on the streets …that’s pretty much the premise of my question and with the replies Iv seen … I’m pretty sure that’s the road we are heading. Why would some one young fit and healthy continually vaccinate against a virus for the next 10 years they are 97% safe from ?

Why does everyone think you're an anti vaxer just because you have a problem/choose to give this ONE vaccine a swerve for any reason?

"That’s why I don’t take antibiotics for prevention, just in case etc. sorry I maybe missing something here... but do you mean your taking antibiotics when not poorly to prevent a viral infection??? "

Sorry for misunderstanding, English is my second language, what I mean is that you can not compare the vaccine with the antibiotics. In order to be prescribed antibiotics you need to be really sick, no one should take takes antibiotics because they might become sick at some point. So the couple of times when I took antibiotics in my life it was for a serious reason. The vaccine on the other hand is pumped into everyone regardless their age , health, sex, immune system etc….let’s not forget that the huge majority of population is actually immune or with a high degree of immunity to this virus.

How many would you take ?

If they are quarterly I really don't see a problem. I have a flu vax every year + 2 Jabs and a Booster. So far.

The Vax has been in people arms for almost two years - millions and millions and millions of them - and no major mass concerns are being reported.

The Vacine not been in people for 1 year until 8th December

You’re posed a different question with your response. Your original question (as written - but maybe different in your head) was how many one would tolerate - not how many one might expect others or wider society to tolerate.

Both valid but slightly different questions.

I think you might be right with regards to some quarters and that will inevitably lower the overall rate.

For what its worth I think many will have a bit more to worry about in next decade than covid jabs. Inflation will probably keep more awake than how many jabs they have. But that’s another story.

We’ll all do the best we can for our families and make different choices accordingly. What happens to those who make different choices. That’s their responsibility.

"Should have added if that’s correct.

Get over it easily again like last time

There’s been lots of hard men in ITU with Covid with a similar outlook and end up regretting it."

Many, many people have had flu over their lifetime and got over it.

Then one day, they'll catch it and for numerous reasons, end up dying from it.

I see this scenario play out, catch it year, year out until one day - it wins and finishes you off.

At what point to you think it is the right time to take it again?

I'll take it as often as suggested, 12months, 9months, 6months or even 3months.

Whatever it is suggested I'll take it and not moan about it one bit..

"We've seen the VAERS and the UKs yellow card reports so the answer is none.

Look at the results for some common medicines we all take often. Even with the blood clot issue. Your more at risk from the pill

Stay strong ! please dont be patronising. I dont need waking up, I actually really researched this as I had to decide for my disabled daughter if she were going to have it or not. Very glad I did decide to let her have it then. I know zero people who have had anything more than a mild reaction to the vaccine ( and i know a lot of people) yet have lost 23 people I know to covid. ( yes okay I also am close to an aging group and those with immune issues but they have all had their vaccines "

Call it what you want but I’m not trying to be patronising!… my father took a reaction to his second AZ jab & died suddenly 3 days later, my mother took multiple blood clots on her lungs after her 1st AZ jab…. The contrast must include free choice to choose to vaccinated or not ? Mandates are not free choices based on risk no matter how small or large that risk may be!

"Zero. Not pumping my body with clot shots with zero long term studies.

There is no long term real world data… what if the jabs save millions of lives in the short term from Covid but cost billions of lives in the medium to long term from currently unknown side effects, from pharmaceutical companies that have total immunity from prosecution of vaccine injuries guaranteed by the Government’s of the countries that the vaccines are approved for emergency use authorisation only !!

Everyone has the right to their own choice & genuine concerns ! if these vaccines where so safe why then would there be any hesitant people at all ???????

presumably most need two doses so it's something like 3bn fully vaccinated and then a few on their way ?

"...from pharmaceutical companies that have total immunity from prosecution."

Another often quoted fake fact.

A company can still be sued if they show 'willful misconduct' in the production of their vaccine.

Take an example.

You need to carry some bags up a hill. You have to do it quickly, so you ask someone to help you carry them up, but if they slip, drop your bags, trip you nip or spill the contents you will sue them.

So they think, ok, in that case I'm not going to help you just in case something happens.

You then say, OK, if there's an accident on the way up I won't sue you. Then they help.

That doesn't mean half way up the hill they then decide to throw the bags back down the hill and push you over and you can't sue them, as that is a deliberate and willful act and not an accident.

Correction:

My copy and paste across the data from Our World in Data misaligned the column headers.

---------------------

ie:

Doses given Fully vaccinated 7.81 Billion doses given.

-------------------------

So read it as a total of 7.81 billion doses given. Which is what my original post said.

Now go the bloomberg link, and they have it as 8.09 billion doses given.

Two jabs is probably sufficient for me.

From here on I'd rather go ahead with Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine/zinc. I believe there are a number of other such pharmaceuticals and I'd like to see greater awareness of them

Yes. I've taken approximately fifteen thousand thyroid pills in my life (for my diagnosed thyroid disorder, this is the only recognised treatment) and I hope to live long enough to take at least another 40 000 or so.

yes there should be, however not in the way that you are supposing . . .

'Hydroxychloroquine does not reduce deaths from COVID-19, and probably does not reduce the number of people needing mechanical ventilation.

Hydroxychloroquine caused more unwanted effects than a placebo treatment, though it did not appear to increase the number of serious unwanted effects.

The authors do not think new studies of hydroxychloroquine should be started for treatment of COVID-19.'
