So true... since the vaccines are so effective, shouldn't they be giving you the live virus after getting vaccinated to help boost immunity? Or are they afraid the vaccines aren't even that effective?

Given that some vaccinated people still die, a booster shot now and then seems like a much safer strategy.

That makes sense. Like, people wear bulletproof vests without having their coworkers shoot them a couple times to make sure the vest works. The best way to avoid gunshot wounds is to not get shot.

>The best way to avoid gunshot wounds is to not get shot.

Bad analogy. What happens is that we're shooting people with .22LR (spike protein inducing mRNA) hoping it will help building immunity to bigger calibers (Covid19, not even talking about the variants).

That is a terrible analogy.

It was bad on purpose. You can't compare the immune system to guns (like the parent does) or the Covid vaccine to seatbelts.

Because there is a difference between getting actual Covid and getting vaccinated the weakened live stuff. You are just guessing the effect of the latter.
