Maybe people will suddenly remember why they had originally voted the orange messiah out of office in the first place, when people start dying again in the next Covid outbreak.

Good, most of the vaccine damage has been done however and thus it may be too late for most people to varying degrees.

The MRNA technology has already crossed the barrier and is being used in some animal vaccines even though it is becoming apparent that it is uncontrollable and unsafe for humans. They put it in the animals we eat, it gets in our bodies and most don't realize it.

My whole family and I, as well as all our friends, have been vaccinated. Not a single one of us has had any complications. If anything, we've been spared from Covid, and everything else that would have possibly killed or maimed us were it not for vaccinations.

If that is what you wanted then congratulations. Not everyone wanted them however, and only got them because of intense psychological pressure from all directions. Most people I know only got them because of intimidation and coercion, not because they were scared of the flu.

When public safety is at risk, getting vaccinated isn't a matter of civil liberties. And Covid definitely posed a public safety concern, as does any contagion.

I'm not against vaccinations, I got all the necessary ones growing up, but I never got the covid vaccine. I remember during covid getting the vaccine was being pushed pretty hard, but I also remember seeing all the articles about how it was rushed, took a long time to get proper approval and some could cause serious health issues (blood clots in young women). All of that added up to nothing good as far as I was concerned, so I avoided it. It made me think of middle school, when I declined the free flu shot being offered by some visiting medical professional because basically everybody that got it ended up getting sick and having to stay home.

I'm thinking of not leaving my apartment at all unless I really have to from October to maybe April. I won't go out to buy groceries, I'll either have them delivered or stock up for the next six months. But if I do have them delivered they'll be touched by germy hands. I don't think it would be a good idea to spray Lysol on everything, especially food.

I was sick as a dog for half of October last year, coughing like a 90 year old chronic smoker and I really do not want to go through that again. I had to miss out on Thanksgiving, which we have in October in Canada.

The common cold isn't common anymore. Now it's either a horrible variant of covid, or flu. I hate this world.

Very likely those students had the flu virus already. When my family and I got the flu shot, the worst thing to happen was maybe a sore arm and a short lived fever.
As for the Covid vaccine: there are always going to be those few who have an adverse reaction, but the majority of people were just fine after their shots.

I bought a 12 pack of SPAM for just $27. And a pair of silicone SPAM can lids for $10.
I like to eat Hawaiian SPAM Musubi. Marinate in an oyster and soy sauce. Fry. Put on a bed of steamed rice and wrap with Nori. Rice and Nori are shelf stable.

My neighbor said he got COVID twice. So did one of my friends who is a social butterfly.
I've had half a dozen COVID shots and never caught it.

I can do my socializing outdoors in gardens and golf courses if there are no vaccines available.

FDA approves fall Covid shots, but with new restrictions

Quote:
The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of Covid shots for the fall — but only for a smaller, high-risk group of people, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday.

The updated Covid shots are approved for adults 65 and older as well as for kids and adults with at least one medical condition that puts them at risk of severe illness.

Kennedy announced the approval in a post on X.

“FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+),” Kennedy wrote. “These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.”

Kennedy also said that emergency use authorizations for the vaccines had been rescinded.

The only shots that had been still been authorized under an EUA were kids ages 11 and under. The move could hinder access to shots for healthy kids.

In a statement, Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics AAP, called the decision “deeply troubling.”

“As we enter respiratory virus season, any barrier to COVID-19 vaccination creates a dangerous vulnerability for children and their families. Respiratory illnesses can be especially risky for infants and toddlers, whose airways and lungs are small and still developing,” Kressly said.

Doctors will still be able to prescribe the vaccines off-label, to people not specified in the FDA approvals. However, that adds yet another barrier to access as many people get their shots at the pharmacy, not prescribed through a doctor.

The approval is expected to go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee, which will make a recommendation on who should be able to get the shots. In June, Kennedy fired all 17 members of the panel and replaced them with his own picks, including several Covid vaccine skeptics.

The new restrictions — which were expected — are likely to affect what insurers cover for people who don’t qualify for the updated Covid shots.

months and older.

A Covid shot can cost up to $140 without insurance, according to the CDC’s vaccine price list.

In his post, Kennedy did not specify which medical conditions put a person at a higher risk of severe illness. However, the CDC website lists dozens of conditions either linked to or suggestive of higher risk, including asthma, cancer, heart conditions, diabetes, disabilities and depression.

In a notable departure, major medical organizations have come out with their own vaccine recommendations in recent weeks. Usually, these groups follow the CDC's guidance.

Last week, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidance recommending the Covid vaccine — as well as flu and RSV vaccines — for pregnant women. The American Academy of Pediatrics published its own vaccination schedule earlier this month, which included the Covid vaccine. On Tuesday, the American College of Cardiology endorsed Covid, flu and RSV vaccines for people with heart disease.

Covid cases have been rising in parts of the U.S., particularly in the South and California, driven by a new variant. According to the CDC, emergency room visits and hospitalizations related to Covid have increased slightly in recent weeks, although much lower than this time last year.

They really put it in animals? What is uncontrollable & unsafe? Why have Covid vaccines if it in animals to get in our bodies anyway?

Vaccines may not be for everyone, people can be allergic to something or die anyway from vaccinations complication, I read about some people can die from it.

I think that allegation of Covid vaccines being used on livestock is open to question.

There are always exceptions, and in such cases there's a legitimate reason for withholding vaccinations. But the great majority of people have nothing to worry about.
