I'm still amazed at the booster craze. Another level of logical denial. (1) the vaccine works but the virus mutates and (2) more of the same vaccine is the solution. (1) is shown true with flu viruses, but if that's the explanation for why the vaccine isn't protecting you, then more of the same makes no sense. And yet...it seems fairly obvious that having achieved 90% uptake rates in the most populous states, boosters create a "start over fresh" market opportunity (sell more of the same stuff). Second order logical inconsistency: big corporations are evil, greed driven organisms, and none more evil than drug companies, so believe everything the drug companies say and get the next shot.
