23 Valent Pneumonia Vaccination Recommendation
vanity

Posted on 06/28/2024 4:55:56 PM PDT by pfflier

My doctor has been pushing me to get the 23 valent pneumonia vaccination. I already had the PCV 15.

Any recommendations from health professionals on site would be appreciated. Thanks.

Given the tendency for the CDC and pharmaceutical companies to include COVID vaccines into the current flu shots, I am concerned they may do it here too.

Take zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D3, vitamin E.
Cannot trust a flu shot as none have stopped the flu from happening ever since they started giving them.

My doctor is also asking my vaccine status. Due to the Covid vaccine debacle, I am hesitant. Any good advice?

My advice is to stop asking advice from corrupt “medical professionals” Covid exposed most of them for the frauds and sell-outs (to Big Pharma) that they are. Why would you want advice from the ones who destroyed the economy and the lives of millions; while killing millions with the mRNA toxin; just so you can try a new poison? Research on your own with sources not aligned with the tainted “professionals”.

Just say, “No.”
And, “Thank you,” if you feel like being polite.

Who knows what’s in any shot anymore?

I have always tried to keep up-to-date on flu and pneumonia shots. Historically these two diseases have killed far, far more people than any reactions to these vaccines. Don’t let the anti-VAxxers endanger your health. Personally, I would look for one that does not include the Covid mRNA With it. Best wishes to you.

Pneumonia can be really bad for people with certain pre existing conditions and for older folks. I had two shots...one year apart...recommended by my PCP at a major Boston hospital.

Not a medical professional.

I will never trust the CDC again. They’ve had a few years to admit to their decisions or even to vaccine harm but they are just doubling down. They are more intentional about what they’ve done, than they are incompetent.

Pneumovax 23 doesn’t contain a combo with COVID formulations. That’s the most recent vaccine, and you shouldn’t need another for viral pneumonia after that, even if a new formula is released.

My very smart MD did not want me to get covid vax.
He knows I have an immune system.

Cleveland Clinic has a good article on vitamins that boost your immune system.

Go to clevelandclinic.org. and look for “foods that boost your immune system.” It includes “supplements, especially vitamin C and zinc.

I take a lot of C and most of these rest of these and have for decades. In the last 15 years, I got one cold.

You can’t trust an organization that uses “pregnant people” (today).

After Covid, you’re actually thinking of getting a vaccine of any kind, especially if your doctor is pushing you to get it? Is he being paid to push it? I’m almost 77, never smoked, never had pneumonia or bronchial infections. I have taken medication for blood pressure, type II diabetes, acid reflux, thyroid, cholesterol for many, many years. I never got the Covid shots, and allegedly tested positive twice in six months two years ago via mandatory swab tests prior to medical procedures being done. I had no symptoms either time. Got the Shingrix vaccines several years ago. Used to get flu shots, but won’t do that anymore since you have no idea what they’re putting in you these days. Never got pneumonia vaccine. Doctor never pushed me to.

"Due to the Covid vaccine debacle, I am hesitant. Any good advice?"

Tell him to take a hike. Two tears ago my then Endocrinologist recommended I get the Covid shots. I told him no and my reasons why. He knew enough not to ask me again. Fortunately he retired the end of 2022, and I have a new endocrinologist who at least doesn't pick his nose, and eat it.

Would the manufacturer of C13 happen to be Pfizer?

My aunt Zabelle was hospitalized with pneumonia twice.

Otherwise, she was quite healthy until she was 97 years old.

I had shingles about a year ago.

It was a very unpleasant experience.
