BOSTON — New research suggests the protection the Moderna vaccine gives against COVID-19 lasts for at least six months.
The report Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine echoes what Pfizer said last week about its vaccine, which works in a similar way.
Both reports were based on follow-up tests in dozens of people who received the shots during studies that led to the vaccines’ use. Those studies were done before troubling new variants, or versions of the coronavirus, had emerged and started to spread.

Pointing out logic to sheeple is not shaming. We're trying to help them.
Help them to not be scared and tricked by a fascist world government's desire to inject you the something that you should not be taking.
Trying to WAKE PEOPLE UP is not shaming. It's CARING.
And for the other shoe, telling everyone you see about your injection is just a way to make yourself feel less dumb and is only to help you sleep at night with your really dumb decision.
Just looking for other dummies so they can feel ok while hanging out at the Dummies Members only club (with a mask on of course)
Just trying to help people!
Also, to play devil's advocate: People pay taxes and this helps us all. If a large percentage of the population 'drops out' due to vaccine brain damage...
Well, my taxes are going to go up!
Asking people to not get the vaccine will kill many more people over time than you actually help.
And herd immunity requires about 80% of the population to have immunity before it really attenuates an epidemic. You can go the slow way by waiting for everyone to catch COVID-19, probably taking years and with the mutagenic nature of the virus may never reach (look at what has happened with colds and 'flu's).
Or, we could immunize a very large portion of the population in about a year, and achieve a definite herd immunity and the attenuation of the pathogen, before it kills people according to its known and measured mortality rates.

Eh, I personally feel that even the implied threat of "less work" is too far, but to each their own. I do hope you'll be letting us know on here if there are any issues with the vaccine. I meant what I said earlier: I do hope these vaccines prove out to work well.
My personal observations are that there can be serious side effects, but these are fairly uncommon and often can be anticipated by a doctor who is honest with his patients. My biggest concern at this time is that those who are demanding everyone get vaccinated are also saying that the vaccines don't work and masks still are necessary. It can't be both ways, and the voice of science is now barely a whisper among the roar of propaganda.

Point being, if the above is the case, it should work for the variants as well as the original.
I consider a temporary sore arm as not even worthy of being called a "reaction." As you say, a tetanus shot will do that.

It seems there may be some good news about the protection provided by the vaccines against Covid. Ongoing testing is showing a strong immune response of 91% at 6 months. There has been a lot of questions as to how long the vaccine produced antibodies may last in the human body, and provide protection against serious disease. 3 months, 6, months, a year, more? Questions still remain as to how much protection from infection the vaccines may give, over just protection from serious disease. That thinking may be changing as well. It seems that not only may the vaccine may protect well against actually catching Covid, if a vaccinated person is positive it may be difficult or impossible for them to spread it to others.
Dr. Scott Hensley is the Associate Professor of Microbiology at University of Pennsylvania. He has a long list of credentials, basically he is an expert in vaccines, influenza, and more.

He fully expects to still see a good immune response in vaccinated people a year from now. That would be a year and a half since vaccination in the test subjects. Meaning more than likely yearly vaccinations against Covid will not be necessary.
Going even beyond that, he says he would not be surprised if this is a vaccine that a person would only need to get once to provide lifelong protection. Similar to the measles vaccine.
"I would not be surprised if we learned a year from now that these vaccines are still producing a strong immune response," Hensley told CNN.
"I would not be surprised if this is a vaccine that we only get once."
That would make the vaccine more akin to vaccines against measles than flu vaccines. Vaccination against measles protects against infection for life in 96% of people.

It looks very encouraging, although we will have to wait to see if further testing confirms this.

You’re encouraged by the fact the vaccine which will require multiple injections only works for 6 months? That’s horrible and boarders on pointless. Your advocating for constant inoculation of experimental drugs that barely work as described and who knows what else they might do.

That is not what it says at all. First, I am advocating nothing. Second, the whole point is that an independent virologist believes that the immune response will last well beyond one year, with the possibility of lifetime protection.

So gaslighting then
“The most likely duration of immunity to a respiratory virus like SARS CoV-2 is multiple years. Why do I say that? We actually have the data for a virus that swept through parts of the world seventeen years ago called SARS, and remember SARS CoV-2 is 80% similar to SARS, so I think that’s the best comparison that anyone can provide.
“The evidence is clear: These very clever cellular immunologists studied all the people they could get hold of who had survived SARS 17 years ago. They took a blood sample, and they tested whether they responded or not to the original SARS and they all did; they all had perfectly normal, robust T cell memory. They were actually also protected against SARS CoV-2, because they’re so similar; it’s cross immunity.
“So, I would say the best data that exists is that immunity should be robust for at least 17 years. I think it’s entirely possible that it is lifelong. The style of the responses of these people’s T cells were the same as if you’ve been vaccinated and then you come back years later to see if that immunity has been retained. So I think the evidence is really strong that the duration of immunity will be multiple years, and possibly lifelong.”
At the outset, Dr. Yeadon said “I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the worlds population.
“I feel great fear, but I’m not deterred from giving expert testimony to multiple groups of able lawyers like Rocco Galati in Canada and Reiner Fuellmich in Germany.
“I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil (not a determination I’ve ever made before in a 40-year research career) and dangerous products.
“In the U.K., it’s abundantly clear that the authorities are bent on a course which will result in administering ‘vaccines’ to as many of the population as they can. This is madness, because even if these agents were legitimate, protection is needed only by those at notably elevated risk of death from the virus. In those people, there might even be an argument that the risks are worth bearing. And there definitely are risks which are what I call ‘mechanistic’: inbuilt in the way they work.
“But all the other people, those in good health and younger than 60 years, perhaps a little older, they don’t perish from the virus. In this large group, it’s wholly unethical to administer something novel and for which the potential for unwanted effects after a few months is completely uncharacterized.
“There is no medical rationale for it. Knowing as I do that the design of these ‘vaccines’ results, in the expression in the bodies of recipients, expression of the spike protein, which has adverse biological effects of its own which, in some people, are harmful (initiating blood coagulation and activating the immune ‘complement system’), I’m determined to point out that those not at risk from this virus should not be exposed to the risk of unwanted effects from these agents.”

... Antigenic drift is a problem for vaccine manufacturers.
The Hensley laboratory has 3 major scientific focuses related to influenza viruses: 1) elucidating mechanisms that promote antigenic drift of influenza viruses, 2) identifying factors that influence influenza vaccine responsiveness, 3) developing new influenza vaccine platforms. Our overarching goals are to use basic immunological and virological approaches to improve the process by which influenza vaccine strains are chosen, and to develop new influenza vaccines that are protective against antigenically diverse influenza strains. ...

How is the immune response of those vaccinated VS those who have had COVID but no vaccine at the 6-month mark?
The CDC never cared about how well the "natural immunity response" worked.
Even to this day, their website says, "Someone contracting Covid-19 twice is very rare".
No actual studies that I'm aware of.
Natural immunity doesn't generate a profit for medical providers, or provide opportunity for scientists to test and vary their vaccine concoction.
Look at how natural immunity protects us once and for all with the 'flu.
