It's a vaccine. Stop. The flu shot isn't as effective and it's actually a vaccine not a shot. Do better.
It's a little late to be asking that kind of question, doncha think? I think it's funny actually. Goes right to the heart of the stupidity behind all this ChinaFlu panic. I would say that they probably can't though because what would happens to the commercial airlines? (United made ALL of it's pilots get 'vaccinated') So now the Biden government has placed it's incompetent ass squarely between a huge rock and a bigger hard place.Should she ground them? She seems to think there's a problem.
Put this in the other thread by mistake.
This article presents a lot of information and opinions from all sides and is worth reading.
Vaccinating people who have had covid-19: why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
“If natural immunity is strongly protective, as the evidence to date suggests it is, then vaccinating people who have had covid-19 would seem to offer nothing or very little to benefit, logically leaving only harms—both the harms we already know about as well as those still unknown,” says Christine Stabell Benn, vaccinologist and professor in global health at the University of Southern Denmark. The CDC has acknowledged the small but serious risks of heart inflammation and blood clots after vaccination, especially in younger people. The real risk in vaccinating people who have had covid-19 “is of doing more harm than good,” she says.
"If" can mean anything or nothing at all. The article also states:Here is the meat, for many people:
Thank you for sharing. Good article.
In June, Peter Marks, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which regulates vaccines, went a step further and stated: “We do know that the immunity after vaccination is better than the immunity after natural infection.” In an email, an FDA spokesperson said Marks’s comment was based on a laboratory study of the binding breadth of Moderna vaccine induced antibodies.22 The research did not measure any clinical outcomes. Marks added, referring to antibodies, that “generally the immunity after natural infection tends to wane after about 90 days.”23
“It appears from the literature that natural infection provides immunity, but that immunity is seemingly not as strong and may not be as long lasting as that provided by the vaccine,” Alfred Sommer, dean emeritus of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health tells The BMJ.
Got my third shot yesterday. Woke up speaking Chinese, third leg grew an inch and have a strange urge to sell my guns.
Seriously, get the vaccine, not just for yourself, but for friends, family and all those you come in contact with.

So what are they telling you about the protection you're buying by getting a 3rd shot? 6 mos? A year?
Oh great. The antivax Trumpers are just gonna get dumber post COVID.
Milder COVID-19 infection could still leave brain with lasting impact: UK study
Why wouldn't you get a third shot if it provides additional protection? As far as I'm concerned it's irresponsible to not do everything you can to protect yourself and those around you by getting the highest possible level of protection during this pandemic.
From the CDC
Why is a third shot of a COVID-19 vaccine needed?
The CDC recommends a third dose of the two-shot vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) for people with certain health conditions to help further protect them from getting severely ill or dying due to COVID-19. Some people have conditions or take specific medication doses that can cause them to have a decreased immune system. Data suggest that two doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may not have a strong enough response in these individuals, and that they may benefit from a third dose.
