This is a serious topic. How many vaccines will people submit to. Knowing that the current vaccines offer little protection to new variants. We can argue about this but it's clear that boosters are being pushed. But boosters of what vaccine? There is no vaccine for the delta variant. Why would the original vaccine booster help? Is there something different in the booster we are not being told?

Exactly. Blind obedience. I can only conclude most people love following orders.
Sad

No, there is nothing different in the booster, except that the Moderna version might be at half strength (50 ml vs 100) because it was more than twice as strong as the Pfizer version to begin with. Your statement that the current (mRNA) vaccines offer little protection against new variants is bullpuckey. They were specifically designed to attack the spike protein because all coronaviruses have those and if they evolve to get rid of the spike protein then they can’t infect humans. The designers of the vaccines thought this through much better than you did because they are—wait for it—professionals. The booster would help because research has shown that it would boost your antibody count up to a level similar to what you would get if you had the natural immunity from an infection. That’s why it’s called a booster.
And finally, I personally don’t “submit” to vaccines. I understand how they work and I gladly take them when I am at risk from the disease they protect against.
