The narrative SHOULD be unravelling, but it is NOT. There are answers to all of the facts --on the ready, and they may not make sense, but they are enough for people who need to continue to believe. I argue with people all the time, and it's literally like they've been drugged. They "don't care" that it doesn't work when they were assured it would, they don't mind that they have to take a 3rd shot in less than a year, they don't care that the data is being withheld, or about VAERS or anything you can throw at them.

It was never about facts. They picked their side and they're sticking to it. And the media is right there to back them up. The CDC keeps announcing they have new data which proves the narrative and it's the unicorn juice they all desperately need.

You can't browbeat people, they get defensive. So to explain my booster skepticism (I did get vaccinated last spring, regretfully) I've tried to formulate a non-confrontational, simple list of inarguable facts:

1. Vaccines don't keep you from getting infected.

2. Vaccines don't keep you from transmitting infection (the head of the CDC said so).

3. Vaccines do provide some protection against severe symptoms and death.

4. The CDC has acknowledged they have no evidence of a previously infected person becoming reinfected and infectious.

Based on these basic facts, one has to question why the unvaccinated are being demonized, and why there is increasing pressure to be vaccinated or get boosters.

Vaccinations protects the person vaccinated against severe disease, and does not protect anyone else. Therefore, vaccination should be voluntary. People can decide for themselves about the risks and benefits.
