When Health Canada on Tuesday approved Moderna’s updated Spikevax vaccine – designed to target Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 – health officials avoided labelling the latest shot a ‘booster’ during a technical briefing. Here’s why they say they’re dropping the word.

    During the early pandemic the anti-reality folks said that the Covid vaccine wasn’t actually a vaccine since you didn’t need boosters with a real vaccine like the polio vaccine. I pointed out that the polio vaccine primary series required three boosters. No, no, they said…those were part of the vaccine, not boosters. I pointed out that each subsequent dose boosted the immune response so they were, in fact, boosters. No, no, they said. They were part of the primary series of the vaccine, not boosters. I then pointed out that in some recipients the immune response from the primary series wasn’t strong enough and that they required, “additional boosters”, according to the description of the vaccine. “You shut your porky mouth, they said.”

    Whether it’s called a booster or a vaccine doesn’t matter to me. I’m going to get it.

      These nuts lost me when they shared a video by a “medical expert” the government wanted silenced that explained that on top of the microchips in the vaccines, there was Aids, Cancer, ground up baby fetuses, and Alzheimer’s in the vaccines that would kill the majority with in 6 months. I often joke that because of the Alzheimer’s I must have forgotten to die after the 6 months a few times now.

      I’m with Bill Burr. Why would a government about control want to kill the 87 percent of those that took first vaccine? They are the compliant ones, why would they want to be left with the ones that aren’t compliant and harder to deal with?

      In my books, with the billions dead from the vaccine who was going to not only deal with the bodies everywhere, who would be left to serve the ruling classes and billionaires that are controlling everything that want everyone dead from the vaccines?

      Anyways their nonsense lost me at the ok get go.

        Don’t forget the tracking chips. We all carry tracking devices with us anyway. I’m typing this on mine.

        I used the, “They wouldn’t want to kill the sheeple” argument a few times. Their brains went into shutdown and they couldn’t answer.

        Another conversation ender is, “I put on the mask months before the mandates because it was the right thing to do and kept it on for months after the mandates because it was the right thing to do. You put the mask on when you were told to and took it off when you were given permission and you call me a sheep?”
