A Lot Of The Exaggerated Expectations And So The Current Panic And Confusion About The Covid Vaccines Was Due To Bad And Incomplete Reporting

LISTENING TO DR. PETER HOTEZ at this clip from MSNBC should be required for any in the media who talks about the Covid booster shots which will be available.  Dr. Hotez said that for people like him who knew something about the issue understood that the decision to accelerate a second dose of the two-dose vaccines last winter and spring was because of the late Trump regime surge in deaths from the virus, to gain a strategic foothold on the pandemic but it was not something that would tend to lead to long lasting effectiveness of the vaccine.  He said that the need for a third shot eight months after the second one was predicted and predictable at the time.  

People are being gulled into thinking anything the best of those involved can do is guaranteed to be a one-time and permanent solution when there is little likelihood that is going to be the case.  I remember some experts in the field predicting that this could turn into a situation like the annual flu season when annual shots might be needed to control it, or, rather, TO ATTEMPT TO CONTROL IT. 

Having a scum like Kilmeade and Bartiromo and Trump using vaccination as a political pawn is something that cannot be allowed to continue.  If Rupert Murdoch hasn't since, happily, died and gone to hell, I'll bet he will be among the first to get a third shot as he made sure he was among the first to get any.  And the same is true for Trump, Bartiromo and Kilmeade.  I'm sure the Republican-fascists on the Supreme Court will make sure they are too, even as they permit the media to lie hundreds of thousands and maybe millions into dying for the political advantage of the Republican-fascist party.  

The Biden administration should make sure that all of its messaging gives people the whole truth, even that which the ignorant won't have an easy time of understanding because holding back on that will have consequences too, making people more vulnerable to the Republican-fascist, Murdoch style media manipulation of the facts when those come to fruition.  And they will, in time.
