Rob, I know you recently said you're debating when to get your next booster. You really may want to study the latest data on the vaccines and decide if maybe you want to skip this one entirely.

For example, one of the leading medical journals (BMJ) just stated that the vaccines send far more people to the hospital with adverse effects than they reduce from covid hospitalizations (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4125239) (see info here: https://dailysceptic.org/2022/06/22/covid-vaccines-more-likely-to-put-you-in-hospital-than-keep-you-out-bmj-editors-analysis-of-pfizer-and-moderna-trial-data-finds/)

Plus any boosters are made from the original Covid strain, long since disappeared, and even CNN admits the current Omicron variants completely escape antibodies created by the shots. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/22/health/ba4-ba5-escape-antibodies-covid-vaccine/index.html

The New England Journal of Medicine says that the two doses of vaccines over NO protection against Omicron and may even increase the risk of infection with a few months https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2203965

Plus as we have now seen, vaccine efficacy quickly drops, and booster efficacy drops twice as fast as the original shot. Even data from Walgreens shows that, once you're a few months past your booster, the MORE shots you have, the MORE likely you are to get infected (https://www.walgreens.com/businesssolutions/covid-19-index.jsp See page 3)

I have nothing to gain from saying this, and you can feel free to ignore/delete this if you want. But I personally know too many people seriously injured by the vaccines to not say anything, to at least ask you to consider the risks vs benefit. Like I said, I'm fine if you delete this and tell me to never mention it again in the future, but wanted to share.

If you want more examples/details/studies/articles, I can send them to you.

Hope your summer is going well. I'll be out there in Utah next week so hope you are saving the good weather for me.

One more, just for kicks. New study from Harvard shows booster shot neutralizing antibodies disappear after only 2 weeks against the current Omicron coronavirus strains...

Thanks Jon. I get bombarded with this info from my father in law on a semi-daily basis so I'm well up on all of it.

Then I'll leave it be. I hope you're enjoying the summer break.
