These are the main points, up until now the evidence points out to vaccines being protective very likely for a long time, and speaking of the need of boosters is not justified, maybe in the future it could be the case (and preparation should be done for this) but at least for now there seems to be no need.

Big Pharma = $$$$$$$$$$$$. They don't care about scientifica data. MONEY and GREED.

Stop trying to think is the people the one that you have to trust, at the end of the day the only important one is the scientific data, it does not matter who is saying it, if the evidence points out to long lasting protection then that is what is much more likely to be true.

I'm in no rush for the vaccination - never had a flu jab either, come to mention it, never had the flu. I guess we all need to make our own decisions and live by them.

Isn’t that simple math and logic? If the theory is, that a vaccination is needed, and this vaccination works only in 54% (Chinese vaccines) up to 95% (?) (Pfizer) , then you need of course booster vaccinations. Not only for all cases where the immune response is decreasing over time, no, just for the rest of 5% to 46% to be really vaccinated for the first time, because the initial vaccination didn’t work at all and was therefore equal a non-vaccination. Ask your kindergarten children, if they would agree. If the kid’s group consists of 20 boys and girls and the nanny brings a big cake with 12 pieces so that 8 kids don’t have cake on the plate, then they will probably suggest that the nanny brings in a second cake, so that all children can eat some. Yes , ask those pre-schoolers in all those doubts. They have much more effectively working brain than all of you combined. That’s obvious, isn’t it? lol

No, that is not how immunity works, this is like pretending to have a pregnancy finish in a month by dividing the task between 9 women. In biology just increasing something do not mean it will automatically have a bigger or better effect.
It may be surprising to you, but actual world class experts do know more than kindergarten children (and people that share their capacity)
