Goodbye COVID vaccines

[Ron_Artest 1,183]

Brain rot decided only 65 and up get a COVID vaccine now.  I was told the antivaxer wouldn't take away vaccines.  Huh.

Are you not 65 yet?

At this point, would anyone here voluntarily get a Covid vaccine?

I would and am not happy about this(I've explained my reasons before).

If I was high risk absolutely.  Technically I am because I have asthma, but I've had covid several times and only the first time was bad so I haven't gotten any boosters.  But if we get a bad strain or if my health turned for the worst, I would get one.  Now thanks to brain rot I can't.

RFKJ is a well known anti-vaxxer. This is what happens when you put a former heroin addict with no medical background in charge of HHS as a payback for his endorsement.

It says 65 and older and high risk groups, which includes: 

Pregnant Women

People in care facilities 

And: 

Individuals with Underlying Medical Conditions:

• A wide range of conditions can increase the risk of severe COVID-19. These include:
  • Chronic respiratory illnesses: Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis.
  • Cardiovascular conditions: Heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, hypertension.
  • Metabolic disorders: Diabetes (type 1 and type 2), obesity.
  • Renal disease: Chronic kidney disease.
  • Hepatic conditions: Chronic liver disease.
  • Neurological disorders: Dementia, Parkinson's disease.
  • Immunocompromised states: Individuals with weakened immune systems due to various conditions (e.g., cancer, organ transplantation, HIV) or medications.
  • Other conditions: Sickle cell disease, substance use disorders, certain disabilities, mental health conditions (mood disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders). 

If you're NOT high risk, I would think that you and your PCP can talk about what's best. Just like the HPV vaccine or the flu vaccine - those are recommended for high risk groups, pregnant people, older people mostly, but not everyone gets one.

Asthma is listed, Gutter. You can still get one.

Over the past 5 years, the United States has moved toward an annual Covid-19 booster program. Each fall, Covid-19 booster shots are developed, alongside seasonal influenza vaccines, and are recommended for every American. As compared with vaccination policies in all European nations, the U.S. policy has been the most aggressive (see Figure 1).¹ While all other high-income nations confine vaccine recommendations to older adults (typically those older than 65 years of age), or those at high risk for severe Covid-19, the United States has adopted a one-size-fits-all regulatory framework and has granted broad marketing authorization to all Americans over the age of 6 months.¹ The U.S. policy has sometimes been justified by arguing that the American people are not sophisticated enough to understand age- and risk-based recommendations.

[Alias Detective 1,390]

Although the rapid development of multiple Covid-19 vaccines in 2020 represents a major scientific, medical, and regulatory accomplishment,³ the benefit of repeat dosing — particularly among low-risk persons who may have previously received multiple doses of Covid-19 vaccines, had multiple Covid-19 infections, or both — is uncertain.

[Alias Detective 1,390]

Covid-19 is distinct from influenza in several ways. First, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has undergone a mutational evolution different from that of influenza; Covid vaccine–induced immunity may not require annual updates for the most clinically meaningful health outcomes

This.

I got the first two and the booster. Then I got the mildest case of COVID you can get. It felt like a mild cold, and I had a slight fever for an hour, took a nap, sweated it off and was fine by evening. I attribute the mildness to having been vaccinated.

But if a new badass strain comes along, I would like the choice to get the vaccine. 

As MDC said, this clown is the worst thing we could having overseeing the nation's health. He takes kids swimming in shitinfested streams, has wacky ideas and has publicly said that people shouldn't listen to his views.

He's only in this position because of his Trump endorsement, and that's no way to run a fukking country.

This is how dictatorships form.

     You have inferior genes. A purebred like myself has the ability to fight these things off. Covid wears a mask when I'm around.  

It's mostly mental with people like you and @MDC you're naturally afraid of everything. It's how you were bred. 

[TheNewGirl 1,400]

I have had three vaccines (two first ones and one booster), and I've had COVID three times. 

Each time I got COVID it was different. 

First time, very mild only lost taste and smell. Second time was pretty bad; fever, tired, etc. Third time was moderate; not as bad as second time, but same symptoms. 

I don't mind getting vaccines, I've nothing against them at all. My hubs is immune compromised, so our family does what we can to protect him.

Nobody needs a Covid Vaccine anymore. But If you do, you can still go to a doctor for it.

I didnt get a jab.  I got covid twice.  1st one was a pretty good one.  The 2nd time it felt like a mild cold.

Its as if those vaxed werent the only ones to see mild symptoms the 2nd or 3rd go around.

LOL. Don't believe I've ever been called a fuckball. Without knowing quite what it is, I suspect I may want to be a fuckball.

You are 58 years old, per your own statements. The term "eleventy" was originated by JRR Tolkien in LOTR, if not before, which was written years in advance of your birth. Therefore, it cannot be "yours."

You have now received your payment in knowledge. Use it wisely, fuckknuckle.

@TheNewGirlaalready showed you are wrong. I'll add that if we got a bad strain, that would be new and the current booster would be ineffective.

Yeah thanks but she posted that AFTER this post dummy.  I already acknowledged that I missed the "and high risk".

I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong the few times a year that happens.

Still for those not high risk and still want a vaccine are out of luck, all for conspiracy theories.  That's anti-science.
