If it's effective, why do we need boosters?
It's a convenient money grab for industrial drug dealers, and their pet politicians get a power grab.
The smallpox vaccine didn't need a booster after six months. Because it's a vaccine.
The COVID preparations do, because they're not vaccines. They're treatments. That are risky, and weakly effective.
They're only called "vaccines" because the Ministry of Truth has been very busy this year rewriting the definition of "vaccine".
