A top White House health official on Monday issued a stark warning to older people about the health risk they face this fall and winter from Covid-19.
Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House Covid task force, said everyone older than 50 and senior citizens in particular need to get an omicron booster as soon as possible.
"If you're over 50, certainly if you're over 65, you've got to go get these vaccines because it actually, literally could save your life. It's a difference between life and death," Jha said during an interview with Yahoo Finance.
The elderly have faced the high risk of falling seriously ill with Covid since the beginning of the pandemic. More than 330 people, on average, are still dying every day from Covid, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 70% of people dying from Covid right now are 75 and older, Jha told reporters earlier this month. He said people dying from the virus are either not up to date on their vaccines or aren't receiving treatments such as the antiviral pill Paxlovid when they have breakthrough infections.
"If you are up to date with your vaccines and if you get treated if you have a breakthrough infection, your risk of dying from Covid is now close to zero," Jha told reporters at the White House last week.
He said people should get their omicron booster by Halloween so they have protection by Thanksgiving when families and friends start to gather for the holidays. U.S. health officials are expecting another round of infections this winter as people spend more time indoors where the airborne virus transmits more easily.

So you’re saying Sputnik V was administered in Russia because they wanted to kill their people? And Sinovac administered in China because they wanted to kill people they are desperately trying to save with their economy smashing Zero Covid policy? And the Indian home grown vax, whose name I have forgotten, they did the same?
How can you imagine this? A global conspiracy of all these health ministries within which not a single person would go public with proof.
As for the flu, you guys can look this up yourself. A very severe flu year kills about 50K in the US. Since people started hand sanitizing and distancing, that number was way down the past 2 years. As one would expect.
How can you not know these numbers? They are easy to find. 50K is actually a pretty severe flu year, but not unheard of. Compared to 450K dead 2020 and about that same number 2021 to Covid.
My 94 yr old MIL’s death was attributed to Covid...she had multiple issues, but bet the hospital got paid to give her Remdesiver...which killed her...so take your numbers and vax yourself
“If you’re over 50, certainly if you’re over 65, you’ve got to go get these vaccines because it actually, literally could save your life.” If it doesn’t kill you first.
“Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House Covid task force, said everyone older than 50 and senior citizens in particular need to get an omicron booster as soon as possible. “If you’re over 50, certainly if you’re over 65, you’ve got to go get these vaccines because it actually, literally could save your life. It’s a difference between life and death,” Jha said.”
Hey, Ashish, ole buddy, ole pal: I, too, believe the vaccine could be the difference between life and death. Since I choose life, I’m not getting anywhere near your shot.
... Indian home grown vax?? Most of India was saved from infection by teams going into each village and handing out Ivermectin and zinc and dropping the infections from 90% to under 15 in 45 days... not from a vax.
Check the patents that the American pharms have submitted that will do permanent harm to immune systems, but vax away with the nonVa((ines and hope for the best down the road!... ymmv
What has that to do with Russia, and China?
I got your booster right here, Jha.🖕
