covid booster?

LongFerret

Does anyone know what's happening with it?

I've tried to get to the bottom of it, looking all over including gov, but no definitive answers.

It seems like gov is hoping to kill some of us off again (like during the full pandemic), as it appears that the booster is only for over 65s, immunosuppressed, and frontline staff?

Any other health problems, like asthma etc, we appear not to be getting it?

I hear that US is offering it to all citizens, yet UK is hardly giving it to anyone and you can't get it privately either??? WTF? I'm sure they want to cull the herd again....??

    There is tendency, when viruses jump to a new species, for viruses to become less lethal, less debilitating, but more transmissible over time. This is what is happening to the covid virus. New strains are likely to be more transmissible, but less dangerous. The long-term memory within the immune system should give some useful protection against new variants, but probably not to the extent of preventing infection, but preventing serious symptoms.
