Comment Re:Pharma needs to carefully communicate this info (Score 1) 292

I don't think it matters. At this point, everyone in the US is totally aware of Covid and the vaccine. And they have chosen their caps and are firmly in them. And they ain't moving. There is nothing that can be done to reach the hesitant because the credibility of the people trying to reach them is shot. Fauci admitted that he did not tell the truth because we "were not ready to hear it." People remember this and question anything he says. Democrat politicians were avidly against the "Trump Vaccine" until Biden was in office when they were suddenly for it. People remember this and view anything politicians say as politically motivated. And doctors with dissenting views were shot down and had licensees threatened, so there is question about if they are giving their recommendation or the safe recommendation... So there is no trusted source likely to change anyone mind. That means those that support vaccination will get boosters, and those that do not, will not.

If it was his first time, his body was totally unprepared. If he is exposed again, even a year or more later, there will be a better result. I know as I have had it twice. The first in March of 20 was BAD! Real (I think I am going to die) bad! And no known treatments. The second time about 15 months later was so mild I did yard work. :) But stayed home when I spotted a fever.

feed as little information as possible to outside actors (only what's strictly needed and nothing else), poison the well whenever you know "required" data is only required by the sumbitches to marketing your ass, use burner emails whenever possible, don't reuse credentials and rotate them... that sort of things.

This. And stop mandating "security" when it is not needed. Hell no I am not giving my cell phone number for 2fa for the throw away email I use to log on to porn sites! :) Too much "security" is as bad as not enough. It results in lazy workarounds.
