CDC Confirms Only 3% of Eligible Americans Have Taken COVID Booster Shot – FDA Confirms May Slightly Increase Strokes in Those Over 85

Sheesh, talk about the timing of two different articles.  Politico reported yesterday that CDC officials admit only 3% of eligible Americans have chosen to get the latest COVID-19 booster shot, although there could be some delay in reporting.

WASHINGTON – The Biden administration’s campaign to convince Americans to get an annual Covid shot is off to a very slow start.  Even so, the nation’s top disease-fighting official says the U.S. remains “on track” to hit last year’s uptake levels, which crested at just 17 percent of the U.S. population.

Today, the FDA announces when COVID booster is combined with Flu shot, there is a slight elevated risk of blood clots causing stroke in people over the age 85.

CNN –  Vaccines for Covid-19 and influenza may slightly increase the risk of strokes caused by blood clots in the brains of seniors, particularly when the two vaccines are given at the same time and when they are given to adults who are age 85 and older, according to a new study.

The safety signal was detected by experts at the US Food and Drug Administration who analyzed data from Medicare claims.

It is the second study to find an elevated risk of stroke for seniors after Covid-19 and flu vaccinations given together. The US Centers for Disease Control and FDA issued a public communication in January explaining that one of their near real-time vaccine safety monitoring studies—called the Vaccine Safety Datalink–had picked up a small and uncertain risk of stroke for older adults who received a dose of Pfizer’s bivalent Covid-19 vaccine and a high-dose or adjuvanted flu shot on the same day. That study triggered the FDA’s broader look at strokes after vaccination noted in the medical records of seniors on Medicare. (read more)

Meanwhile, trust in U.S. government institutions is at an all-time low.

PEW RESEARCH – Public trust in the federal government, which has been low for decades, has returned to near record lows following a modest uptick in 2020 and 2021. Currently, fewer than two-in-ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). This is among the lowest trust measures in nearly seven decades of polling. Last year, 20% said they trusted the government just about always or most of the time. (read more)

Gee, ya think?

None of this is related folks….  It’s all just disconnected. Swear!

Meanwhile, Suspicious Cat remains, well,… increasingly suspicious.

Yes. The word is out. It is hard to imagine some people still don’t get what is going on.

Now I have mRNA particles running around in my blood stream still creating mischief nearly two and a half years later.

They may be gone by now.

The jig is up = Obama flying commercial?

I stopped getting the flu vaccine when I noticed the last two times I got the flu were the years I got the vaccine. Maybe the flu vaccine works for some people, but I’m not wasting my time with it.
