I'll tell you, the world of seeking employment right now is not a fun place to be in this mess. My family is lucky in the fact that we could ride out the majority of the last several months and not care too much but it's getting to be a pita.
I am now in my third rendition of interviewing with companies in the past 2 months where the vax has come up. The first and second ended abruptly when the vaccine conversation was introduced by the HR reps asking if I would agree to being vaccinated or taking testing weekly/biweekly. The answer of "yes" was insufficient for both companies so the question was reintroduced in 3-4 different ways until it was made clear that my "yes" referred to "testing" and not to vaccination.
A third company, which is still an ongoing conversation, in it's third stage, basically "salary and benifit" negotiation has informed me in writing that vaccination, regardless and in spite of Florida's newly passed laws was going to be required PERIOD. Because the position is corporate but Florida based they are relying on the policies of the parent west coast state to push the issue under the guise of "travel".
I have a workaround for this but I am extremely hesitant to use it, I shouldn't need to.
I wish I could get away from these "woke" multi national a-hole companies but unfortunately thats exactly where I keep getting directed to. The subject of vaccines has literally become a division of income level and opportunity similar to having a GED vs a PhD. If I want to work for peanuts, no problem, if I expect to make a decent salary, it's a big problem.
From the New England Journal of Medicine and The Gateway Pundit
Among persons 60 years of age or older, the rate of infection in the July 11–31 period was higher among persons who became fully vaccinated in January 2021 (when they were first eligible) than among those fully vaccinated 2 months later, in March (rate ratio, 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 2.0). Among persons 40 to 59 years of age, the rate ratio for infection among those fully vaccinated in February (when they were first eligible), as compared with 2 months later, in April, was 1.7 (95% CI, 1.4 to 2.1). Among persons 16 to 39 years of age, the rate ratio for infection among those fully vaccinated in March (when they were first eligible), as compared with 2 months later, in May, was 1.6 (95% CI, 1.3 to 2.0). The rate ratio for severe disease among persons fully vaccinated in the month when they were first eligible, as compared with those fully vaccinated in March, was 1.8 (95% CI, 1.1 to 2.9) among persons 60 years of age or older and 2.2 (95% CI, 0.6 to 7.7) among those 40 to 59 years of age; owing to small numbers, the rate ratio could not be calculated among persons 16 to 39 years of age.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings indicate that immunity against the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 waned in all age groups a few months after receipt of the second dose of vaccine.
I'm not sure if there is overlap from this NEJM study and the Life Site story.
The thing is... the boosters they want to use don't even work against the Delta variant. What good are they going to be against the now- dreaded Nu (or whatever it is being called in the last hour)? Seems like all the boosters will be good for is increasing the susceptibility of the vaccinated due to ADE.
Right. It's like I said to my wife. Pfizer claims they can have a new Omicron proof shot in 100 days, and I said: What about Dread Delta? Where was that new version? You can't believe anything they say.
Thank you for the good overview and perspective re: Nu. It seems like the introduction of this new "threat" to the world was well coordinated and timed to inflict maximum damage to the world economy and the collective psyche. We are on a fearmongering treadmill now.
El gato malo has a good take on it with some salient points which also put Nu in perspective at this point:

It's really a messed up position to be in.
Let's see--get boosted every 3 months now? It's getting crazier by the day.

Anyone remember the game show 'Name That Tune'?
Mark, I can get you boosted in just two months.

Slow to take effect, quick to wane. Got a problem with that? And the result--at the beginning and again at the end--is compromised a immune system.

It's an injection cult.
What could be less surprising?
"From the President of Botswana, where the variant was first discovered:
"The preliminary report revealed all four [patients] had been previously vaccinated for COVID-19."

Ah, thanks! What I was listening to while writing.
