This vaccine is an epic failure relative to the initial goal of stopping the epidemic.
At this point all it does is improve your chances of not getting infected or getting a severe case for a period of months until the antibodies start to wear off. That alone is screaming they didn't know what they were doing or withheld vital information otherwise they would have told us it won't last long and we needed repeated follow up boosters.
You have to at least wonder whether the risk of repeated vaccinations is greater than the risk of Covid if you are a very young healthy individual. Surely, some of those young healthy people will die if they don't get vaccinated but who knows what's going to happen with all the vaccinated people that are taking repeated boosters.
Far and away the best info is coming out of Israel. I've put most of the U.S. on ignore.

How pathetic is that? You don’t mean the best info. You mean the info you agree with. A study that was not peer reviewed, that was not tested for methodological errors and biases, says that the effectiveness of the vaccine drops from 93% to 39%. Meanwhile, studies that were peer reviewed and subject to vigorous debate show that the effectiveness only drops to 86-88%.
You anti vaxxers don’t have a leg to stand on. In 1988 the number of polio cases worldwide was 350,000-in the US it was practically zero. By 2018 after a vigorous vaccination campaign that number was down to 36-a 10,000 fold decrease. Small pox which was virtually extinct is making a comeback thanks to the ignorance of the anti vaxxers.
Infection rates of Covid are four times higher in states with low vaccination rates, while serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths are exponentially higher.
A fully vaccinated person has one chance in 5000 of contracting covid.
