So there’s a vaccine mandate for VCU employees and students and for VCU Health employees, but not at indoor basketball game? Where is the science in that?

I think a lot of it has to do with the same group who whines about being "forced" to wear a t-shirt at certain games. I would imagine the same group is opposed to vaccine or testing mandates, and unfortunately they have a lot of money.

Where is the science in making those with a previous infection get vaccinated but not requiring boosters after 7 months for those that had the Pfizer shots? Science says they lose all immunity after 7 months. Trusting the science has become more of a political term than anything at this point.

Citation? Or do I just go to Science.com, since apparently science is now a monolith.

Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine antibodies disappear in many by 7 months, study suggests

Six months after receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine from Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) and BioNTech SE, many recipients no longer have vaccine-induced antibodies that can immediately neutralize worrisome variants of the coronavirus, a new study suggests.

CGTN is Chinese state media (specifically, Chinese state media for international consumption). It literally exists to make China look good and other countries look bad. Hardly reliable.

CGTN says vaccines are useless

I have it on good authority COVID-19 is Chinese bioweapon

I also have it on good authority COVID-19 does not exist

I just got a flu vaccine

How do I resolve this cognitive dissonance

Is WebMD good enough for you?

Pfizer COVID Vaccine Antibodies May Disappear in 7 Months, Study Says

Antibody levels may wane after 7 months for people who got the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a new study published on the bioRxiv preprint server.

Pfizer won’t disagree either. Pretty sure they are a for profit company looking to sell more vaccines.

I don’t understand why a blast on Covid booster but not boosters for chicken pox, diphtheria, tetanus (off the top of my head)?

Appreciate the link. It doesn’t exactly say what you represented, but it certainly is a study that provides some insight and appears to use the scientific method. Will be interesting to see how the conclusions reached hold up under peer review and replication.

My only problem with the booster is that there are literally billions of people on this planet who want to be vaccinated and don't have the vaccine available. I'm hesitant about getting a booster until people in lesser developed countries have the opportunity to get there first and second doses. We are foolish if we think we are protected when enough people in the US alone have been vaccinated.

on a different topic. Seatbelts...I hate the way it feels against me. I hate the wrinkles certain shirts. I have a number of outlier articles that state the person in the accident survived because they were not wearing a seatbelt. Statistically, more be die because they were not wearing a seatbelt. I don't want the fine and traffic violation for not following the seatbelt mandate thus I wear one although I feel it infringes upon my right to comfort in my private vehicle.

Enough brainiac. It may an un published study without any concrete conclusions, but it’s on the internet. From that, anyone without any knowledge of the subject matter may interpolate and extrapolate as much as they feel necessary. If you do contract COVID, you can take whatever, in combination with whatever else to combat it. You have a good chance of survival. That’s enough to know it works.
