Don’t take it from me that getting boosted is a good idea. Take it from the GOP’s new political hero. The Wall Street Journal asked around among doctors to get a sense of whether the boosters are working. Are you seeing many patients with COVID who’ve had three doses, the paper inquired? A few here and there, they replied, as we’d expect based on the data showing 90+ percent protection against infection, not 100. But they’re rare and mild, typically involving hospital care only if the patient is elderly.
Which sounds familiar. That’s the same posture the country faced in the first few months of the vaccine rollout this year,

At this point, why would believe anything that "doctors" told me about this disease?
They have lied to us continuously for two years, and a good friend is near death in a hospital from Wuhan flu because he was specifically DENIED monoclonal antibodies when he asked for them....and his wife, infected at the same time, was given them and recovered very quickly. He was sent home to get worse and worse for two weeks, denied any treatment, until he was so sick that they hospitalized him and started "trying"....and LOSING. I hate these 'doctors'. How are they much different than just murderers?

AP is about as worth reading these days as... well, the AP. Here's a question for his flagship claim: how well are "the doctors" tracking the differences in protection between "jabbed", "jabbed but got the coof anyway before the new booster", and "jabbed but got the coof anyway before the new booster, but unreported because little/no symptoms"? How much do you want to bet those latter two categories are not excluded, as they should be, when calculating the effectiveness of the new iBooster*?
And another question, what're the sample size and demographic controls they're using to estimate asymptomatic numbers? Cause I'm betting those numbers are little better than guesses.
*You get it, then it's obsolete in a few months and you need to get the new one to "stay with the times".

The American Medical Association and our family practitioners are killing us by not prescribing HCQ and Ivermectin. They are practicing what the NIH demands and letting Americans hooked up on ventilators with a deadly Remdescivir drip. In the meantime Monoclonal Regeneron is preferentially given to supposedly more vulnerable blacks an Hispanics. US is the Nation with the highest CCPvirus mortality frequency in the world, by a long shot. I accuse our docile Doctors.

My guess is that there are far fewer infections in people that had Covid and got over it (like 99%+ of everyone infected has done).
Natural antibodies are the best defense. Slowing the rate of infection did nothing but drag this out going on 2 years now. We should have just let it run its course, and it probably would have been over in 9 months or so. Instead, the vaccine Nazis are going to keep this going for as long as they can to keep their control of the peasant masses.

This is a story designed to convince the suckers that already got the jab to boost it. Sorry.

People like AP will get the new and improved "four (soon to be five, then six, etc.) times a year" booster until time itself comes to an end.

Who would believe ANY of their crap, anymore? Boosters haven't been out long enough to have any reliable data, and not many people are taking them.
Also, if the latest infections are Omnicron (aka Xi), the symptoms are milder anyway.

How many people are you seeing that had extremely bad reactions to the shot? I guess many can't talk now because they passed away because of the shot. Follow the money. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

I had the second Pfizer shot in April. Two weeks to the day later, I woke up unable to use my left arm. Nobody, other than my wife and friends, gave a damn. I called the health department, they said it will get better in a few months. VAERS wouldn't respond.
It is now 8 months later. Some days are OK, most I have pain and limited motion. Yesterday, it hurt just to let my arm hang down. There is no comfortable position. Same so far today.
Now, you f**king quacks, you tell me I need another shot to keep from catching what is essentially a bad cold. I am 78 years old and diabetic, I survived without a mask so far, I will survive without your political, corrupt practice of witch-doctory!
And, don't get me started on the medical practices that require masks. They know full well that the damn things are worse than nothing, but require them anyway. Well, it is our policy, as if that is justification. If I cannot trust the doctor with that, how can I trust them with my life?

I’d bet that they’re not seeing many infections in the unvaxxed either, but they will never admit it.
My massage therapist has remained open, unmasked and unvaxxed for the entire 21 month long saga, seeing 6 patients a day, 5 days a week. Up close and personal. I too am unvaxxed and unmasked and he speaks for me when he says, “I just can’t seem to catch it.”

I have asked around, and the people that never shut down, wore masks, social distanced, took any shots, are doing better than anyone else in their financial affairs, and in their happiness. People who work and tend to their business always do better. The government has been wrong and incompetent on everything they touch. A bunch of fools. They have been pushing things all my life that were bad for me.

#12, the cognoscenti in Iowa will tell you that, had it not been for that second shot that you claim left you unable to use your left arm that is now in constant pain, both of your arms would have fallen completely off by now.
So feel lucky . . . I guess.

FTA: Israel’s booster program is only three months old, after all. But for the moment the shots are holding up
Weak effort Allapundit. At the three month mark for the original "vaccines" we were told the vax worked, then months later we learned that the waned significantly after the first few months and chances are, the same will be true for the boosters.

Having worked with doctors for years, I've never been a fan of the people who occupy that position. They're not all bad, but an alarming number of them are just plain obnoxious. I don't take the advice from someone who talks down to me and makes me feel like a no nothing idiot. Besides, with the amount of medical information out there. No one person no matter how smart they are, can know it all. I survived the first two covid shots, but I'm not going to risk having cardiac problems in the future with a third shot. The number of men having cardiac issues after getting these shots is enough for me to just say I'll take my chances of not getting covid.

And meanwhile, no comment, no news stories on India's largest state, Uttar Pradesh, with over 230 million people where there are ZERO deaths and about 7-12 cases per day. So, roughly 9 or 10 average cases in 230 million people in a third world country. My wife lived and worked in Uttar Pradesh for four months and I visited and I am very aware of the average lifestyle and the lower classes live in literal tin and cardboard shacks, unless they live under a piece of old plastic sheeting.
And yet, they treated with ivermectin starting mid August and just ENDED this pandemic in their state. GONE!
And yet, here in America, home of the "top scientists" and "the world's best docs".....my friend was denied all treatment for three weeks as he got sicker and sicker and is now close to death from our "advanced" medicine's evil, stupid, political incompetence.
We are BEHIND India in medical care. The homeless beggars in India get better medical care than Americans can get in most hospitals.
Check for yourself. I use Bing search, search on "COVID case rate in India", then select the "state/province" drop down menu at the top of the bing chart that they put up. Scroll down to Uttar
Pradesh, and look at the cases by day, and the deaths. They have ended it there with ivermectin, which is forbidden to most in the USA.

Since a disturbingly large portion of the medical community completely ignores all the horrible side effects the jabs give people, especially that target group of males ages 16-30 who are dropping like flies worldwide, why should I give any doctor or nurse any kind of credibility? Reagan said trust but verify. I would amend that to say verify before trusting.
There is some truly evil behavior going on right now, and it is only going to get worse before it gets better.

Oh yeah, we’re going to believe those numbers after having watched Covid statistics massaged from the beginning. BTW, what’s happened to Hot Air these days?

#12~ Extending sincere empathy for such pain and suffering. Although the jab may be responsible for excruciating shoulder/arm pain, there is another possibility that, unfortunately, seems many doctors are not familiar with and that is SIRVA (Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration). Pasted below is a link providing more information regarding this injury which can occur due to the improper administration/placement of an injectable. Another possibility may be PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica). For both possible disorders, a rheumatologist may provide relief through injection or medication.

Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA).
Abstract
Shoulder pain is a common transient side-effect of vaccination. Infrequently, patients can develop prolonged shoulder pain and dysfunction following vaccination. A series of 13 cases are described in which persistent shoulder dysfunction and pain developed following immunization. Common clinical characteristics include absence of a history of prior shoulder dysfunction, previous exposure to vaccine administered, rapid onset of pain, and limited range of motion. The proposed mechanism of injury is the unintentional injection of antigenic material into synovial tissues resulting in an immune-mediated inflammatory reaction. Careful consideration should be given to appropriate injection technique when administering intramuscular vaccinations to reduce the risk of shoulder injury.

Polymyalgia rheumatica
Overview
Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory disorder that causes muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders and hips. Signs and symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica (pol-e-my-AL-juh rue-MAT-ih-kuh) usually begin quickly and are worse in the morning.
Most people who develop polymyalgia rheumatica are older than 65. It rarely affects people under 50.
This condition is related to another inflammatory condition called giant cell arteritis. Giant cell arteritis can cause headaches, vision difficulties, jaw pain and scalp tenderness. It's possible to have both conditions together.
Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica usually occur on both sides of the body and might include:
