Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Biden says U.S. health officials are considering Covid booster shots at 5 months, moving up timeline of third shot WWW.CNBC.COM New data from Israel shows a booster dose provided four times as much protection against infection from the delta variant than the previous two-dose regimen. Quote National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins last week said data released by Israel on the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines over time was prompting U.S. health leaders to rethink their position on vaccine booster shots. Israel released new data on Aug. 16 showing a reduction in the effectiveness of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine against severe illness among people 65 and older who were fully vaccinated in January or February. Israel released more data Sunday showing a booster dose provided four times as much protection against infection from the delta variant than the previous two-dose regimen in people 60 and older, Reuters reported, citing data from the Ministry of Health of Israel. The booster dose also provided five to six times more efficacy in preventing hospitalization or serious illness. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 if the personal responsibility people really meant what they say (they don't) this would be uncontroversial.

Bacon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 So, I have seen this a few times, but why are willingly unvaccinated people who have contracted covid getting priority over other patients with life threating issues? Like, they should be bottom priority. Vax or die fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Salary or hourly? If you are hourly, it sounds like you could make a pretty penny. The company should consider just firing the employees who refuse to vaccinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the company is instead just going to overload the responsible employees is a sign that it's a shit company. Wouldn't shock me if the manager is antivax if they're pulling this shit.
