Why bother updating covid shot? Efficacy is quite poor compared to flu shot.

Since the "covid" genome was one selected from several million possible sequences that a computer program generated from several short nucleotide chains from the secretions of a single patient, there will be endless "variants" for the pharmaceutical and public health tyrants to keep the ignorant public in a constant state of fear and confusion. Covid scam---the gift that keeps on giving.

Broke my ankle running to the comment section. Tip top comments. Keep them coming. Also able to find more non-sensible people to block. I’m getting a handle on this thing. But seriously was this article a joke or are we supposed to get a Covid vaccine now?

Exactly. Must be a joke. I respect the Sensible Medicine writers, but during the pandemic they mostly tiptoed around covid issues like the shots, masks, social distancing, etc. Guess they had their reasons.

"In contrast to influenza, in which vaccine strains are selected by a collaborative process led by the World Health Organization (WHO),"

But I thought our esteemed president pulled us out of WHO. Don't tell him they have input into vaccine strain selection.

The comments to this post are mostly anti-vaccine. Dr. Prasad, although you have raised valid issues in your critical appraisal of COVID vaccine use, you have unleashed a broader anti-vaccine position among your readers. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your role as a disrupter.

I’ll be using my Fauci-Candle to protect me from COVID, isn’t he great?

You can actually make a living producing a vaccine that targets a variant with 0% prevalence when the shot goes in? And that’s such a good idea we should have two of them!

What a country!

Maybe we should only select toads with one eye instead of two to go into the mix?

What in the world is this pseudoscience???

I've taken none. My one flu shot lead to my worst flu season ever. I find the endless hysteria over combatting seasonal respiratory viruses and childhood illnesses completely silly.

Health (including sanitation) is the solution, not Big Pharma

We should encourage everyone already vaccinated to get vaccinated with mRNA boosters multiple times. Then we can watch the Darwin Award play out in real time. It’s the easiest way to remove their tainted genes from the gene pool. They are not quite human any longer after the dna integration from the poorly manufactured vaccines. No GMO people, it’s not natural.

Speaking of flu vaccines I suggest reading what is occurring with the avian influenza "vaccine" , this UK based substack by EBM epidemiologist and GP in UK , same playbook.... just trust us and don't ask questions

The MRNA vehicle is killing and disabling people, so the argument about which strain is moot.

The answer is no more Covid vaccines. We’ve all had the disease, most at least a couple of times.

I haven't yet, I think it's because I didn't get any shots! 😆

Why are we still vaccinating for this cold? With vaccines that don't work? This is insane.

EUA seems as useful as National Emergency Powers - all to weaken us. And at least PETA (or someone) seems to be helping the mice of the world, making sure we keep N low - can I get an Amen on saving mouse lives by implying that 18 mice are robust numbers?
