The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve the new Covid vaccine as early as Thursday, according to two sources familiar with the agency’s planning.

It’s the third time the vaccines have been updated to match circulating strains since the original series. The shots should be available within days.

The FDA and HHS declined to comment on the expected update.

The timing of the new vaccines — last year's rollout was in mid-September — is significant, since most of the U.S. is still caught in the summer wave of Covid illness. As of Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the number of people testing positive for Covid keeps rising and that emergency room visits for Covid have been increasing since mid-May. Hospitalizations are rising, too.

Oh, I think they’re working exactly as they were intended to work.

I actually have a lot more trouble with younger, mostly male drivers such as the one that nearly hit me going at least 40 mph in a Walmart parking lot the other day

Unless there is an increase in serious cases and there are human randomized controlled trials showing that men in my age group with similar comorbidities are significantly less likely to be hospitalized or die, then I won’t get another COVID vaccination.

It’s unclear exactly how effective the vaccines will be against the newer strains

It won't be that effective, other than to put a ton of $$$$$$$$ in Big Pharma's pocket.

What about Monkey Pox? Isn’t that the new killer—or is it Bird Flu? Ebola might make a comeback or the Black Death.

As Dr Fred Klenner proved, there’s no acute virus that can’t be cured by a large enough dose of vitamin C. No one would be bold enough to try it for rabies in place of the vaccine, but there is no reason to think it wouldn’t work.

No, and I am a fan of most Ducatis including the new Hypermotard 698 Mono.

I did wonder about possible sarcasm.

There were some extreme losers on this site shilling for the vaxxes too.
