What would you do for a booster?

What part of “exponential growth” do people not understand !??

Even exponential growth has been shown in the Delta variant to have a natural limit - from trough to peak in outbreak after outbreak it was roughly 9 weeks. Thailand was no different

One thing they're not is a "vaccine" in the sense that rubella, mumps or smallpox vaccines are vaccines. What they are is "risk minimisers" - they reduce the risk of catching COVID, and/or minimise the risk of serious illness, hospitalisation or even death. For all the nut jobs who spray the Internet with their opinions it seems this distinction is too difficult to grasp. The other thing many people either can't bear or have never understood is that they are all still approved only for "emergency" use - we're all in a worldwide Phase 3 drug trial

That said I'm happy to be double vaccinated already (Astrazeneca - British is best!) and I'm looking forward to my Pfizer or other mRNA booster in the new year

True enough. We've being trying to find a vaccine / cure for influenza for 2600 years. Haven't found one yet, even with these new vaccines.

Not true. The FDA in the US granted full use months ago.

Can you provide the official source for this full authorisation? AFAIK only Pfizer is fully authorised in the US so most of us are still in a Phase 3 trial

What Holocaust?
Nothing compares to the annihilation of native populations around the world brought about by the European colonisers in the name of the evil elements of their false religion.
That's the real grand scheme of things.
I'm sure there are more people who die from the consumption of alcohol and its deleterious effects on the drinkers and people around them than from the current pandemic.

About the same, 3 million/year deaths for alcohol and covid.

So now we've gotten to the point that the WWII Holocaust isn't a big deal, because there were other historical events that claimed more lives?

Cool.
