And as for boosters…even if they did work against Omicron, which I think is doubtful, ANY vaccine depresses your immune system for a few weeks—the reason they ask if you feel well when you get any vaccine. I think that heading into any viral surge, or a major family holiday, is probably the worst time to want to depress your immune system, contrary to all the official calls to “get boosted now!”

So the booster is going to depress the immune system also? Won't that lead to higher infection risk? Also the booster is not a "booster" as in say tetanus - it's another dose of the same medicine which was designed for the original Alpha variant so what's that going to do?

Doesn't each variant diminish the potency of the virus? So if you contract the Omicron after taking the booster, wouldn't your natural immunity also automatically kick-in? Or, are you saying the booster would depress that natural process?

It is a tough decision for an 80 year old, especially one in excellent health....at this age, when friends and family members are dropping like flies, one does not suddenly become fatalistic. But, I'm not spending my last few years hiding behind a mask, afraid to entertain. Nope, we are having our annual Christmas Eve party, Biden be damned!

Which is to say - get yourself some first line therapeutics (see FLCCC and Zelenko protocols). Have ivermectin or hydroxy prescribed online if your doctor won't do it. And then, GET OUT AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE!!!

No, sadly, the booster stifles your innate immune system. (same as the 1st two doses). It simply programs your body to respond with only one particular antibody that was designed to target the spike protein from the original virus. The spike has changed since then, so the antibody is useless. The innate immune system just doesn't kick in, which is exactly how the vx is meant to work.

Don'ttell Donald Trump. He just announced he got boosted. So, everyone should just relax and go get the shot like good little guru followers.

Probably saline. Someone please prove that ANY politician ANYWHERE has got the real shot(s).
