Fully vaccinated now might not be considered so in future without a C-19 booster

this is bullshit! I already have a hard time convincing people to get vaccinated and this will make it harder.

I can already imagine everyone of them complaining it’s purely for control and will never end….

From a science point of view we need more people vaccinated not a smaller percentage of people with better immunity!

What would change if everyone was vaccinated? What is the goal or end game here?

If vaccines wane in effectiveness, does the booster work towards the same goal as vaccines?

A 25% increase in total effective immunity of the population is...noteworthy.

Does that depend on which vaccine was taken, which age group, or other factors?

if 30% of the population is 25% more protected but 70% of the population is not vaccinated we are not going anywhere.

But if 90% of the population have a vaccine that is 25% less effective we still can beat the virus.
