These won't be called "boosters" for long. They'll become part of the standard vaccination regimen, and if you haven't had all 3 or 4 or 5 shots, you won't be considered fully vaccinated. No thank you—I won't be signing up for endless medical intervention.

I don't have some twisted ideological objection to vaccination in general, I'm not worried about the side effects of these vaccines, and I don't think ivermectin is a miracle drug that's going to end the pandemic. Mostly, I think the vaccines are unnecessary for a good deal of people, myself included. I got COVID two weeks ago, got sick, dealt with the sickness, and I'm slowly recovering. For four decades I've paid attention to my fitness, to nutrition, to sleep, to stress management. For the most part, I've done a good job at taking care of myself. So I went into this sickness with confidence—I was counting on my health and current state of fitness to get me through, to cope with the virus.

I'm against medicine as a commodity, and that's what these vaccines have become. It seems we are dependent on a highly marketed solution that offers narrowly targeted and short-lived protection. There's little talk of personal health and responsibility. We've been told what's good for us, and that we must sign up for it, and that's that.

Lastly, we don't seem to have an acceptance of limits. There is no limit to the number of vaccinations required for "maximum efficacy", no limit to how many drugs we'll take to ease our pain, no limits to mask wearing, no limits to the media-driven hygiene theater that keeps people locked in a state of nervousness, fear, and anxiety. A healthy society accepts limits, it accepts some level of sickness, it accepts death—it does not renounce all autonomy and cede personal health decisions to employers and corporations for the management of individual health.
