Except the science is there for transplants and of people who are at risk. Sorry you haven’t had a reason to believe doctors. Yes am I saying they all are great no I am not. But for once try and see something from who it effects not just what you read. Go talk to people who it did effect that’s your science.

For those of us who got boosters as soon as they were available it's possible that we have little immunity left as the CDC tries to switch us to a yearly vax without really talking about it. We are very early in this. It takes a while to do science, to get it peer reviewed & get it to the public. It doesn't help that we -- the public -- are a huge variable. I think I had COVID in March 2020 before there was really testing. I'm over 50. By some guidelines that makes me high risk (over 50 + had COVID once). But you have to dig through scientific literature to find that. Very few people have had their full series including the multi-variant. Many people now don't have the sick time they need -- leading to move spread & more variants. Even if large numbers aren't dying, people are dying. People are becoming disabled. And people are dying from "unexplained" heart attacks & strokes. It's too early to know what long COVID might do -- we shouldn't put that burden on future generations when we can wear masks & better filter air in schools + public buildings.
