This is certainly not the first time a vaccine required a booster. I had to get boosters for various diseases as my immunity waned and the idea that anyone should be surprised that a virus we have all collectively watched mutate into something far more deadly would require a booster is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks this is 'moving the goal post' should stop trying to pretend they have anything to contribute to the discussion.

If these selfish people want to avoid a vaccine we can simply exclude them from our society, because if there is any freedom they must respect it is the freedom the rest of us have to decide with whom we will associate. Their presence is a danger to us all. I will respect their choice to not join the rest of us in the modern world of vaccinations and public health and I expect them to respect our decision to keep them at a distance. I also propose we respect their decision and allow them to die as nature intended, without taking up valuable ICU and hospital resources. Create covid hospices where these plague rats can gasp out their last breath with all of the freedom they desire.

Are there many vaccines that require boosters after only a few months? I'm not aware of any.

I got a tetanus booster a couple of years ago in response to an injury. Should be good for another 10 years.

By now it's plainly obvious these "vaccines" are not anywhere near the same level of effectiveness, they didn't understand what would happen "in the real world" and the vaccines don't actually prevent transmission or indeed serious injury or death.

So please don't pretend it's the same type of thing. That is sad justification for misplaced faith rather then adjusting world view to match current reality.

The rest of your post is just nonsense hate speech based on pseudoscience, wishes and political bias. An extremely disgusting authoritarian political bias at that.

Contributions like the parent comment make the Dead Internet theory feel very plausible.
