...a booster shot is required to make the Green Pass permanent (for about 12 months, I believe).
Unfortunately, I couldn't wait any longer as I wouldn't be able to go to work without the G.P. after October 15th, with the subsequent loss of wages.
CDC Removes Critical Words From Vaccine Definition
To fully understand the importance of the change, it’s crucial to note that, before the COVID pandemic, the definition of a vaccine had been relatively stable for nearly a couple decades with minor word changes occurring every few years. All through that time the intent of a vaccine — to give you immunity by protecting you from a specific disease — had remained basically the same.
For example, according to an archived snapshot of the CDC’s website, the definition of a vaccine February 24, 2011, was:7
“A product that produces immunity therefore protecting the body from the disease. Vaccines are administered through needle injections, by mouth and by aerosol.”
By July 2015, the wording had changed to:
“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed in the nose.”
The wording was the same in June 2017 and likewise in June 2019 and June 2020.11 By August 26, 2021,12 however, the definition had changed slightly to add the words “to produce immunity”:13
“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”
Then, less than a week later, just days after the FDA gave final approval to Pfizer’s mRNA jab, the definition changed again, September 1, 2021 — this time, significantly. The definition of a vaccine now reads:14
“A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”
As you’ll note, the second sentence remains the same. It is the first part of the definition that has dramatically changed. In the latest definition, a vaccine:
Is no longer a “product” but instead is a “preparation”
No longer directly stimulates the immune response, but is used to stimulate the system
Does not produce immunity
Stimulates the immune response against diseases, not against a specific disease
No longer protects a person from the disease
These dramatic changes were likely created to allow the CDC, FDA and other governmental agencies to call the genetic therapy experiment being administered worldwide a “vaccine” — while they knew full well the so-called “vaccine” was not created to either produce immunity or prevent transmission of disease. In fact, by any definition of a vaccine in use before 2021, this jab is not a vaccine.
UnHerd spoke to him back in July 2020, when he defended the lack of mask mandates and was hopeful that widespread immunity would protect the Swedes from a bad winter wave — a hope that turned out to be overly optimistic. “Judge me in a year,” he said.
Just over a year later, on the eve of Sweden releasing almost all of its remaining Covid restrictions on September 29th, Freddie Sayers spoke to him again. His message? On the big questions — whether Covid was something we had to live with, whether schools should be shut — he believes he has been vindicated.
As ever, many thanks to Anders for taking the time.

Quick question;
With vaccine mandates for jobs, entertainment etc are popping up more and more. How long will these mandates last? Do they have an end date attached to them?
I.e. Say in 10 years time, and Covid-19 is but a bad memory, would they still require you to have a covid jab(s)? A jab that may be 10 years old, for something that isn't a threat anymore? Or are these restrictions just temporary i.e. to get us through the next year or so? None of this seems to be mentioned afaik.
n addition to barring Phillips from providing exemptions for COVID-19 vaccines and face masks, the college has restricted him from:
Providing exemptions for COVID-19 testing.
Prescribing fluvoxamine, an anti-depressant, and atorvastatin, a medication primarily used to prevent cardiovascular disease, in relation to COVID-19.

Yes, he is 16 y/o, had no rash, no pain in his palms or soles of his feet (normally seen in foot and mouth). They want to blame his symptoms on a disease usually seen in infant/toddlers? The nurse made sure to say three separate times that he was not having a side effect from the vaccine.
