We know now that vaccines wear off after about 6 m

People have to get flu shots every year. Their efficacy is about 40% on a GOOD year. A couple of years ago, in the Before Times, there was a year in which they guessed totally wrong about which flu strains would be predominant, and they admitted that the shot was only 18% effective. How do they get those efficacy numbers? They guess. They extrapolate from the number of hospital admissions. Other doctors thought that the flu shot that year was worthless and that even the 18% efficacy claim was much too high.
So, people are saying that because the COVID vaccines have proven to wear off the same way that the flu vaccines do, people should just forget getting vaccinated, and get sick and/or die instead?
No thanks.
When Novavax finally applies for approval in the U.S., having been screwed over by the FDA in ways that prevented them from being the FIRST vaccine available (so that Pfizer and Moderna could make billions, at the cost of at least a month's worth of infections that could have been avoided with Novavax's vaccine) -- I will be calling my doctor to approve the NVAX vaccination series for me.
I heard an epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins being interviewed on radio. She said that many scientists she know have said that NVAX has the best vaccine, and that it will probably last longer because it uses proteins from the entire virus, not just the spike. (It does not include the complete spike.) it's based on older technologies.
