CDC: Healthy Lifestyle No Substitute For Booster Shot
CDC director Rochelle Wallensky announced today that when it comes to reducing the threat from COVID-19, exercise, a well-rounded diet rich in nutrients and a generally healthy lifestyle are no substitutes for receiving a vaccine booster every seven months.
“So by all means avoid direct sunlight, runny eggs and more than one alcoholic beverage per day” said the CDC director, “but the main thing is to get that BioNTech in your arm like it’s going out of style.”
Wallensky backed up her claim by citing the nation’s chief immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci who, in turn, cited the same CDC press release issued by Wallensky. Wallensky further elaborated that “The science has spoken – directly to Dr. Fauci” as the latter stood behind her waving his doctorate.
At press time both Wallensky and Fauci expressed concerns that the anti-Covid therapeutics coming to market in the next few days may be effective against masking and other restrictions.

It’s an administration composed of incompetent liars.
Once you’re shot – you can’t stop!
Can’t have that! “Better call the experts.”
In a recent interview on CNN, Dr. Fauci said, “Just think of boosters like tattoos. You just can’t have enough of them.” He then pulled back his cuffs to show off full sleeve tats on both appendages. “I especially like this one.” He pointed to his left forearm, tat of Jesus, in grimace, getting a jab. “You see, I’m not the only One who believes in getting vaccinated.”
Love it!!!
I think satire without a warning label is now a CoC violation.
The Martini Clot Shot now comes in Chocolate Amyloid Plaque flavor.
Perhaps I’m missing something, but I don’t mind that the effects of the mRNA vaccine don’t last more than five months (which was the original time frame Pfizer and Moderna established–it changed to six months long after the vaccines’ original release).
I certainly appreciate the negative reaction and skepticism to the need for frequent boosters, given how the CDC has been selling it. But there are lots of preventive-medicine substances that don’t last very long.
I think it is a good thing that the effects don’t last indefinitely.
In the late 1980s I read a human physiology textbook that was organized around the human body’s continuous effort to maintain homeostasis. It will constantly set up the body to meet the conditions, for example, that existed twenty-four hours earlier. It’s what keeps the body at an even temperature most of the time. It is constantly scanning to find inconsistencies and foreign substances and objects. I can’t help wondering if the human body is looking at the vaccine as something that doesn’t quite belong there. I have no idea if that’s case. I’m just wondering about it. It’s like putting an arm or a leg in a cast for six months.
Given the newness of this vaccine, I find it reassuring that the effects don’t last forever. I don’t want the effects to be permanent.
I don’t think most people need any of the covid-19 vaccines at this point. Over half of the population has probably been exposed to it sufficiently to have built up an antibody response. That’s really where testing needs to go now. I wonder how the vaccine interferes or does not interfere with or supports that response. No one should be prescribed medicine he or she does not need. All vaccines administered should be preceded by an antibody test, especially now that we have good studies that prove that the immunity from an actual infection is durable.
So many questions.
Are you sure this is satire?
Unpopular opinion:
Fat people are more afraid of diet and exercise than Covid.
I suspect the tattoo artist made a mistake. The tattoo is not an image of Jesus. It is of St Anthony of Fauci. Many folks have trouble telling them apart.
True enough. I have a tat of Jesus myself on my right pectoral and of Dr. Fauci on my left. In the fogged mirror in our master bath, I must confess I sometimes can’t tell my left from my right, but then, in the reflection, both are opposite, so I get confused.
With the best satire it’s hard to tell so I’ll take that as a compliment.
Actual news from actual reporters in Wisconsin:
I’ve seen the tattoo. Jesus doesn’t wear glasses.
Because the vaccine will make me healthy, happy, and beautiful. Thanks, Pfizer!

It’s the positive effects of fighting off COVID that don’t last very long. The negative effects of long-term changes in our epidemiology are still unknown and could last forever.
