    That is all fine for an explanation...but the original point still stands. Never in the history of all the vaccinations I've taken, did any of them require a booster after 2 months....varient or not. Varients happen. Two months, especially for healthy people without co-morbidities, is very poor coverage.

    The best part is watching Tyler Herro take two steps toward Jokic before his survival instincts kick in.

    His sheer intimidation factor is the only explanation for his repeated contracts.

    Bold take

    PSG will win the champions league over FC Bayern München

    Also

    Poland will go deep in the WC next year. But Argentina will win it; Messi gets his WC title and a champions league title with Neymar.

    Italy nor France make the finals.

    That's a huge fail on Kareem's part. I agree with the sentiment, but nothing about Aaron Rodgers screams dumb jock. He's just the opposite in fact, coming across as the smug smart guy who thinks he can cleverly out-word people, and usually can.

    The whole reason this is even an issue is because he got away with it this long, up until testing positive. All the people who didn't pick up on his double talk are the ones who should be labeled dumb jocks.

    And that's a fail on TBpup's part... How many vaccines have you taken for currently circulating pandemics? That changes the equation just a bit. But, people gonna do anything they can to justify their pre-vax availability positions.

    Disappointed in Big Lew for using that Stereo Type. He didn't need to do that, he has the ability to get his point across without labeling someone.

    People who think they're smarter than they are tend to be stupid. Aaron fits the bill.

    For fucks sake, he went to Joe Rogan for advice.

    Yep, and it diminishes the otherwise positive points he's been making, because he now comes across as just taking cheap shots at easy targets.

    He's got a more prestigious education than probably 90% of the people on here, and was viewed as enough of an intellectual to guest host Jeopardy. (Hmm, Kareem for all his celebrity appearances, didn't get that honor. Maybe that's why he's bitter.) I'd say you just added your name to the list of fails.

    George W Bush went to Yale, was dumber than a bucket of warm beer.

    If Rodgers was so smart, I doubt he would've started off at a community college. Let's not act like he went to Cal because of his brains.

    that seems pretty normal for a virus vaccine. Flu shots lose their effectiveness at similar rate, if not quicker. But flu vaccines weren't made into a political issue to serve trump

    people who believe there is any 'Aha! moment' just because Covid vaccines have a decline in effectiveness apparently don't know much about vaccines. Covid isn't polio or whooping cough. And isn't it funny how those two diseases practically disappeared because of universal vaccinations?

    it may be that people will need Covid booster shots every 4-8 months for a few years
