Not true, I’ve subscribed to the WSJ for decades, now electronically to WSJ and NYT. I flew for NYT, when Dad the Smarter ran the place, can’t give it up even if it’s mostly unreadable.

Our groomer brought the papers, so yeah.

Linking a WSJ article doesn't seem to work... even if you have a subs, the link takes you to the subs page.

IR finds that booster shots reduce infection by a factor of four compared to two doses (5-6 times better against severe covid). They've only done boosters for 60+ so far...

This data is specific to their demographic, which means people who got the first two doses very early in 2021. It also doesn't measure any drop-off from the third dose yet (obviously).

It’s not penny pinching, it’s not throwing my money away buying garbage.

Key word, likely.

4 of my friends in cane down with it in the last month. 1 vax’d, the other 3 not.

All had the same length/severity of symptoms. Which was very little.

We all have covid anecdotes, and they're all over the map. It's irrational to base your opinion on what you observed with a handful of people you know.

IR observing that delta is trending downwards with boosters, a few weeks into the program.

IR's economy is open, no lockdowns.
