Booster dose

Some topics tend to get heated and go off track in unwholesome ways quite quickly. The "hot topics" sub-forum is a place where such topics may be moved so that each post must be manually approved by moderator before it will become visible to members.

that people want to control
So it doesn't do anything to address my question:
What did the Blessed One say about Coronavirus pandemics, and the use of vaccinations?
in the context in which I asked it?

Well, thanks for an interesting exchange, c. !

I wouldn’t recommend informing your medical decisions based on proto-science in the suttas.
The mind creates and the body purges. This is buddhas teachings. Stop creating mental defilements and just allow past trauma to release. This is the practice.
What practice is that? Where did the Buddha say that?
OMG Sam, can you verify with any surety anything the Buddha said? :focus:
You put these suttas on such a high pedestal and they have been translated for over 2500 yrs according to the story, of which nothing can be verified as none of us were there.
All we can do is practice and then listen to the suttas to see if this is in alignment with ones practical experience.

Greetings,

:offtopic:

One last time, let's please get back to the conversation of BOOSTER DOSES.

Any more off-topic wanderings and we might need to move this to the Hot Topics section.

:thanks:

Metta,
Paul. :)

Got the second one a few days ago thinking it was needed for traveling, but it turned out otherwise. When I got the shot I already had symptoms of flu, sore throat, blocked syneses etc. Now they have somewhat ababted but have alot of aches and pains, not sure what to do, any suggestions guys? Thnks in advance.
They usually go away within 72 hours of the shot. If not, consult your doctor.
But not always, like with my cousin she died after two weeks of these pains. 42 yrs old and took the shots so she could work.

Hopefully physically you never have any bad results from taking this. But from what I gather their us no end for you with these shots. It will be multiple injections yearly in order for you to participate in society.
Anyone refusing is ousted, this is a bad result from these shots already. Business owners being threatened, fined or shutdown if they service anyone not complying with the public health measures. Unpopular speech being stamped out and censored.
In essence this is what you support when you continue to take boosters and comply with public health. And FYI public health is not public they are a private global corporation and they are not about healing, they are the opposite of what they say. If I were to guess they are run by the same vibration as the Nazi SS from ww2.
Thanks for your good wishes. I don't know too much about the science behind all this, but my understanding is that the virus will probably become endemic. A bit like flu, it will be there in the background and will cause localised outbreaks of respiratory illness.

So far, none of the florid problems that you predict have manifested for me or for those I know. Nobody has told me that I will need multiple yearly injections; nobody has been punished for refusing those injections already offered. I initially refused and was treated with courtesy; I know people who have refused all vaccinations without problems. Businesses don't care whether I am vaccinated or not. A lively debate is going on regarding vaccinations and other public health measures; most people in the UK seem to be in favour, but I know plenty of outspoken anti-vaxxers who definitely have not been censored. I have seen no evidence that any bodies involved in public health are subsumed under a private global corporation. Nor can I make any sense of things being "run by a vibration".

Of course, all these things might manifest later. But for now, I'm keeping an open mind, and I see no reason to doubt that accepting the booster is a rational response on my part to the global pandemic.

It depends on what you mean by punish ?
There are many countries where those unvaccinated are not allow entry into work place or at the office they work , banks and supermarkets without full vaccination certificate or prove .

i guess booster is helping vaccine. So if you aren't vaccinated i think booster shot is useless.

Not here in the UK, though. I think there have been a few venues which have required evidence of vaccination, but they are things like night-clubs and sports stadiums, neither of which I frequent.

And the more people like me who get vaccinated and stay healthy, the fewer the reasons people have for refusing, I would have thought.

In any case, I am far from seeing any of the thepea's dire predictions being realised, or indeed discerning a common vibrational ancestor with Nazism.

That little excerpt mentions four countries, none of which are the UK. So how does it relate to my posts?

I am referring to my own circumstances. It helps to read the thread to get a sense of what specific posts are about.
