Would your feeling change if we discover that yearly boosters of the COVID vaccine will be required indefinitely?

No, because again, you take the vaccine, it causes an immune response, and then it leaves your system. Even if you then take it again a year later. It's not like a drug that you're regularly taking, which remains in your system. What would change my mind is if I saw vaccinologists explaining a mechanism by which a vaccine could cause long-term side effects, rather than the opposite.

The flu vaccine is still called a vaccine and it’s delivered yearly and while not required is highly recommended indefinitely.

Why would this be any different?
