The way immunity and viruses work it's common for multiple doses to be required for other diseases and needing a booster is not indicative of "failure". How do a bunch of old men who grew up when our education system still worked miss that stuff? I toked my way through school and didn't. The military didn't give tetanus or other boosters by accident (and for the tip of the spear guys who play in third world shitholes they're important).
Tetanus booster example since that's not currently considered a conspiracy:
Other common and long proven booster shots, and the link predates COVID for those who care (2016, COVID first reported 2019).
Modern medical care has been spectacularly good to me for six decades so far so I'm not scared by drivel. (Hundreds of millions of people with no problems is also evidence of low side efffect risk,) Vaccines work by stimulating recipients immune systems to produce antibodies, they're not long-lasting chemicals and are organic.
Containment rationale for vaccine use:
Not every last vaccinated person is forever immune to COVID. I'm not going to try to teach statistics in a biker forum but all the info to learn how to to understand statistics is readily available at any level.
In July 2021, around 125 breakthrough infections happened per 100,000 fully vaccinated Wisconsinites, compared with around 369 cases per 100,000 inhabitants of the state who had not been fully vaccinated. At a vaccination rate of around 50 percent in the state in July, this means that around 3 in 4 new cases occurred in unvaccinated people. That would have made the COVID-19 vaccines in the state 66 percent effective in preventing infection in real world conditions opposite unvaccinated people, as for every three unvaccinated Wisconsinites who were infected with COVID-19, two vaccinated people were spared an infection, assuming that both groups had the same exposure to the virus on average.
When it comes to hospitalizations and deaths, the differences in outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated people were even starker. Around four in five hospitalizations for COVID-19 occurred in unvaccinated people in Wisconsin, translating to a vaccine effectiveness of 73 percent in preventing hospitalizations. For preventing death, vaccines proved 91 percent effective, as only one in twelve Wisconsinites who succumbed to COVID-19 was vaccinated.
More fake news from fake doctors in fake hospitals in fake towns and cities with fake morticians processing crash test dummy patients and crisis actor teams flawlessly concealing it all:
Barrier methods and distancing are perfectly normal to contain flu and other nasties in Asia and do not need to be 100% effective to be useful. It's not a matter of chasing perfection but effectively using multiple mitigation methods to reduce transmission and reduce infection among those who contact virus particles and reduce the SEVERITY of infection among the infected. This is not simple stuff but it sure as fuck isn't rocket surgery either and before the global spergout was considered standard practice in disease control. Japan's been at it since the Spanish flu over a century ago, and Imperial Japan was not noted for libtard influences.
Disinfo is a legit problem because most people are very fucking far from being internet sophisticated and are easily manipulated by affirming what they want to believe (which is why marketing works). I've been on Ars for about twenty years as their tech content is typically well done. Russians are very good at disinfo not least because "maskirovka" is a long established way of military and (since hybrid war is social too) social deception. I admire and respect the Internet Research Agency but they're still enemies.
Lying Icelanders in the conspiracy to contaminate our precious bodily fluids. Clearly no one but Bubba can use science:
Iceland reported 2,847 new infections over the past month, mostly from the highly infectious Delta variant and mostly in fully vaccinated people, official statistics indicated. This is the highest number of new infections in a month since the start of the pandemic, but vaccines appear to be doing their job. The vast majority of new infections are mild at worst.
Of the 1,239 Icelanders who were recorded as having COVID-19 on Sunday, 3% were in the hospital, data showed.
The country hasn't recorded a single COVID-19 death since May 25, government statistics and Oxford University's Our World in Data indicated.
Of course Americans have no idea of what Oxford might be and it's probably another diploma mill like the Imperial College in a world where the only possible safety is to fear everything and believe nothing.
Some US staff are tired of the stoopid including my sister who commented today on the anti-vaxxer "volunteer casualties" where she works: "At least I get to see them go out toes up". 8-P
She and other staff and physicians were PAPR (familiar to weldors) but that must all be for show.

"None of these patients thought they would get the virus, but the delta variant has proven to be so highly contagious that even the young and the healthy, including pregnant patients, are now starting to fill up our hospitals," said Dr. Neil Finkler, chief clinical officer for AdventHealth Central Florida.
More than 90% of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated, he said.
In Austin, Texas, "Our ICU capacity is reaching a critical point where the level of risk to the entire community has significantly increased, and not just to those who are needing treatment for COVID," Austin-Travis County Health Authority Dr. Desmar Walkes said in a statement.
"If we fail to come together as a community now, we jeopardize the lives of loved ones who might need critical care."
In Mississippi, COVID-19 hospitalizations have increased significantly — including among younger patients, State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs said. All 88 beds in the University of Mississippi Medical Center's intensive care unit had filled up by Friday, according to data from the state's health department.
And in Louisiana, "We're becoming victims of the unvaccinated," said Dr. Christopher Thomas, critical care physician at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge.
"We currently are overwhelming our bed capacity. We're creating burnout for our teams. And honestly, we're beginning to impact the rest of the health care for the community."
