Yeah, I mean it's not like there are previous examples of covid vaccines which generate an increase in antibody levels and also have track record of being effective in preventing covid.
There is no correlate of protection between increased antibody levels and protection.
There seems to be an implication here that me not falling for anti-vaxx spin is some sort of flaw.
This isn't "anti-vaxx" spin. The CDC and the FDA both say you should not use antibody testing to determine your immunity from COVID, yet this is the very metric they use to continually grant EUA approvals to vaccines that have no proven clinical benefit. I get why you're trying to pretend like that's "spin", but it isn't.
What makes you think my personal vaccination status has anything to do with how effective the vaccine might or might not be. Please be specific - are you saying that if I have or plan to get the booster, you'll admit that it is safe and effective? If not, why bring it up?
I'm curious to see what level of trust you're placing in these "experts" and "studies". It has nothing to do with whether I think it is "safe and effective" (a buzz-phrase that has become utterly meaningless). It has to do with whether you agree with the recommendations of these experts in your own personal circumstances.
I've already told you I'm not getting the bivalent booster, because for someone in my age group who has already had two doses of the Pfizer vaccine and at least one COVID infection, the data is pretty clear that any "benefit" is incredibly marginal.
So what say you? Will you get the bivalent vaccine, and why or why not?
