I'm sure the study is accurate, but Moderna breakthroughs are uncommon, and serious breakthrough cases are very rare.
Always the best advice.
Where was this? I didnt realize that they had approved boosters yet.
I have no idea, but I surely am concerned. My sister lives in little Kerrville, Texas. She constantly rails against the ignoid city leaders, and I know that even when there was a mask mandate, Walmart and other major retailers instructed their employees for their own safety not to enforce mask-wearing. My sister finally gave up on complaining about it. And get this--her GP died a couple of weeks ago (only 46 and leaving behind a wife and an 11-year old and 5-year old) after being on a ventilators for weeks, and he wasn't vaccinated. Unbelievable.
Wow. Just...wow. All the best to your sister at least but the level of ignorance in that area is hard to believe.
Yes, it is, particularly when so many artists and musicians live there. It's a small town (with deer wandering the streets) with very important musical influence, particularly for songwriters.
Last I heard, they advise you get the same brand booster as your vaccine, if you can. That's because that's how all the studies have been run. Moderna hasn't been approved yet, but they've applied for approval.
It's almost like science is an iterative process and new conclusions are drawn as more data is gathered!
And therefore, morons shouldnt run around shrieiking "ITS SETTLED SCIENCE!!! JUST GET THE SHOT!!!"
I wonder why they were offering 'boosters' in @nota bene's sister's area then?
Sounds like they're saying about 8 months. 6 to 8 months. But nothing definite yet that I've read.
I don't know that boosters were being offered, only that my sister, on her own initiative, walked into a CVS pharmacy, asked for the booster and was told that this had to be cleared by _____ (whoever/whatever CVS sends people to for approval), saw whoever she was sent to, and then went back to CVS and got the shot.
Link please?
My wife & I have immune issues, so yes we will both get the booster
Moderna Says New Covid-19 Vaccine Data Support Need for Third Dose

Moderna Inc. said that while its Covid-19 vaccine remains effective against the disease, including the latest variants, there's evidence that it could be more effective with a booster dose.
The biotechnology company said its vaccine is still highly effective in protecting people from circulating Covid-19 variants, including Delta, according to a real-world effectiveness study.
However, in a clinical study, Moderna found that patients who were vaccinated more recently had a lower chance of a breakthrough infection than those who were vaccinated last year, building a case for a third booster dose.

I'd go for shot #3.
Thank you. Important for you to link to borrowed material.You can Google it, but this is where I found that particular quote:

It's a different state, so I don't know.
Huh. Does that sound kosher? It doesnt to me but
It is odd that today a study was released saying that the Moderna vaccine was also the best at providing protection from severe disease and was longer lasting then the Pfizer.Moderna Says New Covid-19 Vaccine Data Support Need for Third Dose

Did you know that George Washington himself supported vaccine mandates and that they have been a part of America since the revolution? So much for mandates being "un-American" huh? Also do you know that science can test levels of antibodies and those tests show that antibodies drop off after 120 days with the Pfizer jab? That does not sound like they are " making this shit up as they go " to me.
I'm not an immunologist. In mot a virologist. I WORK with scientists and chemists that develop defenses to viruses used as offensive weapons and we have had many conversations about this vaccine...so I'd say I know more about vaccines and particularly this vaccine than the average person. I also know there are doctors and scientists and virologists, and immunologists...practicing and active professionals from all around the globe...not just in the US but in Canada, Germany, France, and other countries that have all expressed very real and legitimate concerns. I know that rather than discussing the concerns, the idiot left attacks actual doctors and scientists and virologists, and immunologists for daring to not act like the sheep and lemmings of the left and just shut up and get the damn shot.
Im not opposed to vaccines. I advocate for people that are high risk to by all means seriously consider the vaccine. I cheer on people thast want to get the vaccine by choice...yes...even the idiot left, even though I think they are stupid as **** for just blindly following along and agreeing to every change and every lie and every false projection because they are too ****ing stupid or unscientific or just too ****ing eagerly blind to think MAYBE since every single thing they have been told about masks and the vaccines has changed that MAYBE they dont REALLY know what the **** they are full on about just yet. The fact that so many DO have antibodies from a natural instance of COVID, that those numbers are just ignored, that their immunity is NOT enhanced by the shots and yet they are still being coerced and forced into vacines also speaks volumes.
The 3rd shot is just another example. As will the 4th. The fact that they are making this shit up as they go and that people like you are cheerleading for them...thats just ****ing tragic.
The fact that vaccines greatly reduce your odds of contracting COVID, being hospitalized with COVID, and dying of COVID is settled science. Whether or not you may need a booster at some point is where there is a question.
It's worth pointing out that the fact that antibodies fall off is not a sign that the vaccines are not working. That's normal. It's only a problem due to the very short period of time for Delta infection incubation. The b-cell response takes about 3 days to get antibodies up again, by then with Delta, you could have a breakthrough infection, though it will almost certainly be mild and short-lived. A booster just gives you a fresh supply of ready antibodies to reduce the number of breakthrough infections.
