The data out of many different countries shows that cases are increasing among the overall population, including the vaxxed - hence the requirement for boosters. The CDC and others have admitted that these vaccines only offer protection for about 5-6 months. So, no surprise that the vulnerable near the end of the vax 'life' will be getting sick, and the vaxxed are the large majority in most countries.
Scientists recognize that there are a lot of unknowns given that the mRNA variety is new tech that has never before been rolled out for so many people:

The thing that bothers me most about these 'vaccines' is the sheer number of unknowns, coupled with the fact that there ARE more effective vaccines like Sputnik V, which is supposedly 80% effective after 6-8 months. Yet the only ones available to most people are the mRNA ones. And then there's IverM and HCQ... My knee doctor told me point blank that he was told he could no longer prescribe HCQ to patients, but if HE became sick, it was unofficially recommended that he take it!!! That's kind of odd for a medication that 'doesn't work at all' to treat COVID...
I don't have a problem with vaccines that actually ARE vaccines, and that actually work. For example, I was vaxxed against Hep-B (WHY is a good question, but that's for another time). So was Julie. She had a test a little while ago, and they discovered that well after the supposed 10-year protection time, she still had antibodies! That's a real vaccine, and the narrative about its protection levels doesn't need to change every 2 months like with mRNA vaxxes.
As for the unvaxxed, a very large study (2.5 million people) out of Israel a few months back showed that naturally-acquired immunity is stronger and longer than vaccine-acquired immunity:

A Cleveland study claimed no real additional vax immunity benefit for those who recovered from COVID:

That kinda makes sense because most of us have robust immune systems that already know most of the makeup of this virus due to regular exposure to other coronaviruses. And that's the other thing that bothers me: With every other illness in history, vaccines effectively meant the end of that disease (more or less). Natural immunity mattered. Herd immunity also mattered. But in this case, there is no end because this works - no it doesn't - yes it does! No wait, wear masks, also. Nope, need a booster. Hang on a minute, why are all those athletes keeling over with heart problems?
It stinks to high heaven. I look at simple facts and figures on an international level (like the JHU COVID map) and I can't help but ask obvious, common sense questions - and make smartass comments like the above post, naturally... That's just me. On a purely personal level, I know more people who were negatively affected by the vax than those who were hit hard by COVID. But obviously my personal experience does not represent what's happening on a global level.
And those people who DO speak out are often shouted down and fired from their jobs for daring to disagree. There was an article in French 2 days ago about yet ANOTHER top infectious disease expert in France who is being poo-pooed because - as one of the world's (former) leading experts - he's saying the mRNA thing simply doesn't work. So much for 'science'.
There are countless other stories, studies, and sagas of various descriptions along the same lines happening in many different countries.
In any case, given the fact that the vaxxed can still carry and spread the virus as much as the unvaxxed, and that most people have already been exposed to the virus over the past 2 years, there doesn't seem to be any real need for a young, relatively healthy person to get vaxxed. Especially when there appears to be a lot of people reporting significant adverse effects to this new vax tech compared to other standard vaccines.
Having said all of that, I don't really care who gets vaxxed or not. But for me personally, I would like to be able to make the choice for myself. My natural immunity should count. If everyone MUST get a vaccine (a health policy which I simply cannot agree with), then at the very least give me a choice of which one I take. People make stupid decisions all the time that lead to catastrophic health issues, and nobody bats an eyelash. But I'll respect their choices anyway as long as they respect mine. That doesn't mean we need to agree on anything, of course!
