Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports were by far the dumbest idea ever thought of. Even dumber than 2 weeks to slow the spread or if we all wore masks this would end quick.
It's too bad there are enough suckers out there that'll believe anything they're told.

Excerpts:
Feb 24 (Reuters) - There is not sufficient evidence to recommend more than one COVID-19 booster shot a year for older people and those with weakened immune systems, an expert advisory group to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday.
The COVID-19 working group of the CDC's Advisory Committee For Immunization Practices (ACIP) supported an annual booster campaign, likely in the fall, especially for populations considered at high risk, Dr. Sara Oliver, a CDC official who heads the group, said during a meeting of the agency's outside advisers
The agency currently recommends older and immunocompromised people receive COVID booster shots more frequently since vaccine effectiveness usually wanes faster for those populations compared to younger people with robust immune systems.
In the spring of 2022, the CDC recommended immunocompromised and people over age 50 receive an additional shot if they had received their first booster at least four months earlier.

About 53.3 million people in the United States - around 16% of the U.S. population - have received a COVID-19 booster shot since updated versions of the vaccines were authorized in September.
That compares with 230 million people, around 70% of the population, that received an initial two-dose series of the COVID vaccines

I haven't boosted myself or my family. Hybrid immunity is holding up well, but I have been following the state of art as they learn how this thing behaves over time vis a vis immunity and vaccines. Might get boosters at some future point but not while in a reasonable hybrid immunity window.
