That’s great for you getting the booster vaccine. I’m going to get mine in December. I’m going to have to see if there any Winn Dixies near where I live. I wouldn’t mind a free lunch. Despite rising prices, there are still plenty of restaurants where one can eat generously for 10. It’s great that you can get a booster with a different brand and type from the initial vaccination. I got Pfizer for my first 2 doses. So that means it should be okay if I get a Moderna booster. That is wonderful.

I’m going to hold on to your piece on Israel and vaccines, and share it when needed. I’ve debated several vax-skeptics, and I’ve noticed that many of them try to bolster their claims by bringing up the 78 percent figure amid the Delta outbreak in Israel. I pushed back against their arguments, but it was considerably more difficult to do so. But with a fuller context of facts that you detail here, it all starts to make sense. It will be much easier for me to debunk the claims of the vax-skeptics I’ve been debating lately.

Though given Moderna and Pfizer are both mRNA vaccines, getting both is obviously possible. But since J & J is a viral vector vaccine, it’s more noteworthy that it can be combined with an mRNA vaccine.

I did some looking around before they authorized the combos and J&J is hard to find around here now. Plus, I think the other two are more effective.

Please do keep and share the article. That goes for all of our stuff!
