That's why Big Pharma still forces us to get a Chicken Pox vaccine every year! Oh wait, they don't?

You can still get infected with SARS-CoV-2 even if you have before, and you should still be vaccinated.

If you're old or obese, yes. If you're young and healthy, no.

As for Big Pharma, it's strange so many people are defending an industry well known for committing crimes against humanity. In recent history. The opioid crisis is still playing out, for one.


> If you're young and healthy, no.

...unless you have concern for spreading disease. Some only think of themselves.

> it's strange so many people are defending an industry

That is strange, who are these people defending the industry at large?

I'm recommending getting vaccinated against diseases, not the Sackler family. This is a comment thread about COVID.


You're right, that's veering off topic. Back to Covid.

The vaccine doesn't stop spread. We've known this for a long time now, but here's a fresh example just last weekend:

Seventy-two people have tested positive for Covid-19 after having attended the Gridiron Dinner in Washington last weekend, including members of the Biden administration and reporters.

Gridiron Club President Tom DeFrank said Sunday that the group had reported 72 cases out of the hundreds of people who attended. New York Mayor Eric Adams, who was also at the dinner, tested positive Sunday. It was the first Gridiron Dinner since 2019, before the pandemic, and guests were required to show proof of vaccination, DeFrank said.

Correct, like the flu vaccine, it does not stop 100% of infections, it reduces the spread of disease. Now you know!
