The 3M Aura and Vflex both breathe easily as heck. I’ve worn them on 40 degree days and I felt fine. They don’t block air like surgical masks.

Good luck getting a new booster in most Western countries.

If it comes down to then being required again I’ll look out for those and give them a try.

I’m in the US, I think we have had maybe the best access to these vaccines. I just checked one pharmacy in my area, 17 locations within 30 miles all with appointments today, I can even choose between Moderna and Pfizer. I haven’t gotten a booster in a while, but I want to say I’ve gotten the first two shots and like 2-3 boosters. The last booster was an updated one I think for Delta.

boosters don’t have much impact on you getting other people sick. you can get a spray to stop glasses fogging up, you can get cooling towels or a personal fan to deal with overheating. wear a fucking mask please

I’ve tried those anti fog things on glasses, never got one that worked for me and didn’t smear my lenses like crazy.

Sorry, nobody is wearing a mask anymore In my city, I’m not about to try and start that trend back up. Nobody cares anymore, so I won’t either.

I guess for the West, the US has more access. Other countries, such as the UK, are paring back boosters except for the really vulnerable. It is still weird that the current vaccine is for a strain in 2021, though. Our societies should be doing better.
