@jon-nyc said in 4th shot: Yep. Hell I already have to do blood draws every 2-4 weeks. Needle schmeedle. Since your physicians adhere to bloodletting protocols, they may be open minded enough to prescribe Ivermectin. You are lucky.

Questions such as "Have you ever considered getting a man-bun?" and "Is a spray tan ever a good idea?" might be a bit less controversial. It would certainly weed out a significant bunch of people who, whilst not in and of themselves convicted felons, really ought to be locked up. And if you want to encourage ethnic diversity, how about "Where are all the white women at?" Another good one - "Why the hell do we spell colour like that?". A bit of a logistical challenge, which also would encourage people to research international matters. Also, "Foreign Affairs. Are they a good idea?" could be quite thought-provoking for some.

One cent.

You know it could have been 3 of the 4 choices simultaneously… Just substitute out a few of the seasonings and loan it out to the Clintons…

@ivorythumper said in Vaccine Hesitancy: Back when journalists were journalists, and not paid for sycophants of corporate interests and part of the government propaganda machine. Neither Google nor Facebook nor and msm would allow a video like this to be seen today. Mike Wallace's career would end, immediately.

He makes a good point about the tactic.

@jon-nyc https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/05/pfizer-covid-booster-shots-likely-ready-sept-20-anthony-fauci-says.html The U.S. will likely start to widely distribute Pfizer Covid-19 booster shots during the week of Sept. 20, but the rollout for Moderna’s vaccine could be delayed, White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday. The Biden administration has announced plans to offer third doses to people who received the Pfizer and Moderna shots, pending approval from public health officials. The U.S. recommends an additional shot eight months after the second dose. Only the Pfizer vaccine booster may get Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approval in time for a rollout the week of Sept. 20, Fauci said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” People who received Moderna shots may have to hold off for longer as the company waits for regulators to sign off on a third dose. “Looks like Pfizer has their data in, likely would meet the deadline,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told CBS. “We hope that Moderna would also be able to do it, so we could do it simultaneously.”

Good news, Mik.

@george-k said in On the verge of herd immunity?: @lufins-dad said in On the verge of herd immunity?: 20% have some immunity from previous infection? That’s twice the number of cases reported in the US. I would assume there's a large cohort of asymptomatic infected. Also, how many of those that received the shot also had previously been infected? I know of at least one (D2)! And some who were very ill, but not hospitalized, before the word COVID was on the front page news.
