I called my local Walgreens, they are saying as long as it’s been over 28 days since your second dose, just come in, no appointment necessary.

That's pretty much what I did but with CVS. I called ahead and asked if they had Moderna and accept walk-ins. Yes. Drove over and got my booster.

This thing is just gonna keep mutating. What worked was distancing and hygiene. People acted like a rapidly developed vaccine was a license to ignore those practices and quickly spread it back around. Everyone spreads it. The next mutation may well be completely resistant to the vaccine. If people really want this virus to go away, stay home as much as you can.

This unfortunately is possible. The next iteration of the virus is the Lamda variant. So far it does not greatly reduce efficacy in the current vaccines. The good thing about the mRNA vaccines is that they can quickly plug and play new variants into new shots. The full turnaround time is roughly 6 weeks. Both Pfizer and Moderna could create a new targeted vaccine within 6 weeks.

Daughter's entire family has it now. By God's grace we are blessed to have doctors who have had excellent success treating it (with a variant of the FLCCC's protocol), so they are doing ok, but they aren't having much fun with it. Some shortness of breath, usual flu symptoms, lost taste/smell, but so far O2 is holding steady in the 90s. Delta is no joke, y'all.

What treatment protocol is being used on them?

It's based mostly on FLCCC's MASK protocol, but is what a local Dr. group has cobbled together over the last year. Not sure what their stats are now, but earlier in the year they had treated over 300 patients without a single hospitalization. IVM is the heavy lifter, with numerous other things in support.

My wife, my son-in-law, and I are all vaxxed, but SiL was the first to catch. Wife and I were both around him the day he became symptomatic, but neither caught it. We had both added IVM back in as a prophylactic a few days prior to him getting sick. Can't really say if IVM was key, but I think it has continued to be strong against Delta.

The father of one of my employees was hospitalized for four or five days, and has continued to struggle even after discharge. He is going on FLCCC's recovery protocol, so I'll be curious to see how that goes.

Lockdowns do not work. All they do is destroy the economy and create starvation for millions around the world and threaten the food supply even in our nation. No lockdowns

I agree..it will be economic/cultural suicide to do that again. The VAST majority ones dying or almost dying are the ones that choose to at this point..it is their choice. If you choose the route the consequences are 100% on you and society as a whole should not be made to suffer for your choice.

My family was sick with it a few weeks ago, and I requested to be put on ivermectin.

I have a 99.98% chance to survive covid. Probably higher than that with the natural immunity I have.

I have a 100% chance of surviving the vaccine and avoiding any side effects if I don't take it.

Most people infected with Covid recover from it. But the disease is unpredictable—it can lead to death or cause long-term health problems, even in people who were previously healthy. That's why it's so important to protect ourselves and those around us by getting vaccinated.

We don't know the long term affects of the vaccine. Data isn't out yet.

I'm young and healthy, have natural immunity, and a 99.98% chance of survival if not higher. I'm just fine. Those around me are free to get vaccinated so, in reality, they are not my responsibility. If the vaccine keeps them safe, whether or not I get it doesn't matter.

Maybe there won't be any long term affects from the vaccine? Who knows

If I was younger like you, I'd probably feel the same as you. I have a close relative almost die from covid and I'm 51, so I'm a little more concerned with it

I agree...I believe it will burn through the portion of the population that is 90+% catching it now pretty quickly if they just leave it alone. It is their choice...let em eat cake.

I agree that it was their choice, made their own beds, etc… but when they start filling up the hospitals that puts and undue strain on the system that effects nonCOVID patients as well. My wife’s hospital has already canceled electives again.

Sort of similar to many of the Covid hospitalizations.

I have no doubt that some Covid deaths were more to do with contributing factors. I wasn't trying to argue otherwise. But it shows that people pick sides without presenting "true facts."

I have stated that I am down the middle on this. I can name many people that died or nearly died from it, and I had never seen that with the flu. I don't believe masks are guaranteed to save anyone, but I believe that they are better than nothing. I also believe that there will never be more shutdowns, and it is time to move on with life. I am still cautious with my kids, but I have traveled, seen friends, and continue to work in an environment that sees alot of people.

Somehow, though, this has gotten political, and people want to be right.
