I am quite worried now because I've heard that protection from the Pfizer vaccine stays at 88% in one month and then at 74% in 5 to 6 months and now thinking that even though boosters will be given out it just seems like anything we do against this virus won't always be effective and like its always going to many more steps ahead of us. Scientists are actually not very surprised by this research because it was expected. I seem to think that if the vaccines are waning, will people get seriously ill even though months ago they had two jabs which prevent serious illness and hospitalisation ? I have sometimes thought even though we now have vaccines, it may over time on its own fade not into extinction but just fade away.

It means you will probably have to get a booster of whatever shot you got.

It's like in movies when someone says, "I don't believe in ... [xxxxx] ".

And someone else says, "but [xxxx] believes in you".
