So the new argument is: since there's a great variability to your personal response to COVID, we should develop a highly sophisticated and complex testing apparatus - the like that has never been done at scale before... so we can measure and evaluate your personal characteristics and hedge on your risk and likelihood of transmissibility
rather than
$20 worth of vaccines that are largely already quantified, proven and has a known baseline and is flexible enough to adjust and mitigate any foreseeable variants
Totally feasible and viable! I mean the labs must be ready for this testing, right? The projections about your risk/transmissibility must be so well understood that they can be forecastable from your antibody count undoubtedly. Absolutely and perfectly quantified down to the hour/min/second you'll be 'immune'. And the adoption rate from the general public certainly would be enough to move the needle and make an impact in battling the pandemic - I mean it's proven! Just like the shocking evidence from Skidork that Pfizer is nefariously influencing the government to advocate vaccines and boosters.
Or - tried and true vaccines, which we have. With the existing distribution methods.
I love it when people people talk about running government / public service items like a business. Then they propose some random half-baked idea as a foregone solution. The must envision some romanticized vision of an entrepreneur having an idea and the next day full scale roll out. It's clear they never worked legitimate business. The amount of effort into feasibility, viability, execution, engineering, adoption, maintenance, forecasting and projections for a solution at scale. GTFO. Armchair, layperson "takes" like this are pure poppycock. Tells me you don't actually do anything important in life.

But everyone does need a vax.
We need a new baseline as the old baseline and variabilities are no longer valid.
Once we are at 70....no 80... no 85....no 90... no 95% vaccinated we'll be able to start addressing the 20....no 30....no ??? breakthrough rates to stomp out this pandemic for good!!

Vaccines provide durable protection against severe disease and I've argued repeatedly that I don't think boosters are necessary for most vax'd people. Vaccines really work and are the best thing that could have happened.
The tragedy of the delta wave however was low rates of vaccination when it hit. So there is a clearly define benefit to boosters even if you've been previously infected: boosters protect against infection and bring cases down. For people who want and willingly accept an additional dose boosters are the least burdensome — vs masks & distancing — intervention currently available.

Deebased is too stupid to understand what "flatten the curve" means. No one who has been subjected to his 10,000+ posts is surprised.
Skidog admits to being a dishonest disingenuous troll just wasting time at work. Thank you for your honesty troll.

The only side the majority see is that your nonstop posting is fucking annoying.
Nobody said "let's ignore a reasonable concern", in fact, they've all been discussed.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

You must be on the spectrum to read that so literally.

One of the Pakleds asked "whatabout" Australia?
Apparently too feeble to look for themselves. Australia looks fantastic compared to nearly every other country. 1200 killed, compared to 681,000 in the US. Also looks fantastic adjusted for population. Almost all the cases are in two states, most have no cases. Queensland appears to be bringing its outbreak under control.

The level of protection from previous infection varies a lot and there’s no quantitative way to determine that. We know how effective vaccines are because of the clinical trials and now billions of doses being administered with no statistically relevant mortality and morbidity. That’s science and how preventative medicine works. Just like needing a shingles vaccine because you had chickenpox. There are people a lot smarter than you and I that study these things and I’m glad they do and I listen to their recommendations.

Re:Australia - yeah they are knocking it down (clarification for DeepAspergers - I don't mean to zero) but at what cost to their freedom! Your 65 year grandpa has to die because some bogan wants to get their nails done without wearing a mask.

It's impossible to not see these crybabies as the ultimate special snowflakes, right?
"Waaah, I don't want to use standard care in a public health crisis and bring stability to the nation. please develop something special for me so I can act in my very unique way. It's up to everyone else to work around me!"
Pathetic. You are not special. You are cliche.

Q: My 90yo mother just had a breakthrough case of Covid. Anyone know if she should wait to get the booster?
