FDA Expands Approval for RSV Vaccine, Now Available for Adults Over 50
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 06/08/2024 | Jim Hoft

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved an expansion of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for use in at-risk adults over the age of 50.

Manufactured by British multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company GSK, this vaccine is the first to be approved for adults aged 50–59, targeting a virus known for causing severe respiratory issues, particularly in older adults and those with pre-existing health conditions.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that primarily infects the lungs, nose, throat, and breathing passages. It typically causes mild cold-like symptoms such as a runny nose, fever, cough, and wheezing.

“Today’s approval reflects the importance of broadening the benefits of RSV immunization to adults aged 50-59 who are at increased risk,” said Tony Wood, GSK’s chief scientific officer. “For those with underlying medical conditions, RSV can have serious consequences, so we are proud to be the first to help protect them from RSV-LRTD...”

"Specialists who voted against the vaccine based on its safety profile were concerned that it might increase the risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare neurological disease that can kill nerve cells and lead to muscle weakness or paralysis."

Was it even tested?

“RSV is a common respiratory virus that primarily infects the lungs, nose, throat, and breathing passages. It typically causes mild cold-like symptoms such as a runny nose, fever, cough, and wheezing.”

We need such extreme measures to combat mild symptoms?

We a such a wuss society now.

RSV isn’t too much of a concern for young adults, but can be for older adults. It is extremely dangerous for infants. My grandson was hospitalized and almost died from it.

No thanks. I have ZERO faith and ZERO trust in the FDA, CDC nor any other governmental or quasi-governmental institute-especially when they are telling to me to inject a vaccine into my body.

Pharmaceutical industrial complex at it again. I look forward to the day that nobody ever asks for proof of vaccine (including schools)…at least I can get a religious waiver but even that is an unnecessary burden.

“Vaccine” and “immunization” mean one and done. Is that what this is or will we be treated to an annual “update” campaign?

Nope. I’m 69 years old, and other than a tetanus shot several years ago I haven’t taken any vaccine for over 50 years, and never plan to. If I get RSV or shingles or pneumonia or influenza or even Covid, well, too bad for me. So far I’ve had none of those things. Maybe flu when I was a kid.
