it's from your second shot and the 6 months news is brand new, hasn't turned into policy just yet. apparently just sources close to WSJ confirming it will change

if wsj, nyt, or wapo runs a story about internal government deliberations you can probably assume it's accurate, those are the papers that have all the highest placed connections

the technology was invented in the 2000s, and moderna and biontech were both founded around 2010 to develop and sell mrna drugs but nobody ever put up the money to develop a drug because vaccine development never has been acceptably profitable for pharma until the US, EU, etc governments shoveled a million billion dollars to make one for covid

this is the real mRNA conspiracy

there's another thought, it's just "if this wasn't true that'd be uncomfortable for a lot of reasons so I'm going to assume it's true" and it's usually fleeting and subconscious until immediate local conditions are severe enough to bring it to the forefront


it's like how everyone that's ever read a newspaper article about anything they're knowledgeable in says "lol that doesn't make any sense, that's bullshit, this journalist didn't do any research" and then forget they ever had that thought when they read articles about stuff they don't know anything about and accept it as incontrovertible truth

It's because we berate stupid posts mercilessly until the poster's brain reboots as a defense mechanism

Like I know we're a failed society in so many loving ways, but I feel like this kind of just drives it home in such stark horror. We are at the point where we are rewarding people for not murdering people, instead of punishing them for trying.

Hmm... after lying to get my "first" shot almost a month ago, I just got automated text reminding me to get my next dose of Moderna this Friday.

Should I go in and get my 4th shot or is there something that I'm unaware of that would make it a bad idea? I'm leaning towards to get the 4th shot since I'm in Texas and working in a very public space.

I haven't seen any indication that getting a 4th shot has any real upside. But that's because I haven't seen any data on 4th shots at all.

From the way immune response was described as fading over 4-8 months after the 2nd shot, it sounds like a getting a 4th shot might just reset your time to next booster.

Or maybe you get super strength, dunno, good luck!
