the total number (or percentage) isn’t as important as the rates (#/100,000).

GSK’s Arexvy is a fRespiratory syncytial virus vaccine, adjuvanted, contains a recombinant subunit prefusion RSV F glycoprotein antigen (RSVPreF3) combined with GSK’s proprietary AS01E adjuvant.

trials continue to evaluate an annual revaccination schedule and protection/immunogenicity over multiple seasons following one dose of the RSV vaccine.

yet, another damn annual vaccine with a secret-sauce adjuvant, which is a chemical designed to hyperstimulate the immune system because the basic vaccine is too weak to work without it ...

and of course, the super efficacy claimed in the trials will likely drop to a fraction of those claims in real life, if this vaccine follows the pattern of influenza and covid vaccines ...

worse, though, both pfizer and moderna have mRNA RSV vaccines they’re trying to get accelerated approval for ...

all of this for an illness that knocks off 6,000-14,000 old folks each year like me who have a shitpile of comorbidities ...

we had RSV blow through my area a few months ago and awhole bunch of gave it to each other (it’s highly communicable), and it did in fact go down into our lungs and we were very ill, but no one that i know died from it ... unfortunately, immunity from subsequent infection only lasts a year or so like influenza ... though i don’t know if the immunity wanes or the virus mutates ...

For now anyway, tetanus vaxes are still old school. I have had few, usually after getting poked by a rusty nail or after a deep cut in the field.

I was reading an early covid study that suggested that tetanus vaccines offered cross-over covid risk reduction of 25%-30%.

Better than long term mRNA vax protection.

apparently, immunity isn’t long-lasting due to rapid mutation of the RSV virus, AND it may be that annual vax would be necessary with a NEW and DIFFERENT vax each year, as is the case with influenza vax ... and then wonders if the vax makers will be any more successful in dealing with the mutation issue than the influenza vax makers have been ...

Thanks, Red. Never heard of it before.

Is this something they’ve been working on for awhile, fully tested long term, or did they just pull it out of their asses like the last vaccine?

They have been working on it for long time.

But the FDA is accelerating its approval.................

It’s a respiratory virus that is the leading cause of death of infants in our country. It can also be bad for the elderly

My twins were very sick from it when they were 6 weeks old. One was on a ventilator for a month. They thought she was going die, but a last ditch effort with a blood transfusion turned things around. She’s 26 now, and RSV still flares up her asthma.

My other daughter was on a ventilator for a week,but she got a brain injury as a side effect of it.

Premature babies are especially at risk. Elderly and babies that get asthma from respiratory viruses are also at risk.

It kicked my butt this year. I’ll be looking at this vaccine pretty seriously, especially as I get older. I could see RSV killing me as I get older.

They’ve been working on a vaccine since my girls were babies, and they are 26.

Gosh, since the quoted quoted is a quote from Dugaway Duke, he must be among the anti-vaxxers. Either that, or rhetorical repartee is not a part of his skill set.

You should realize the tag line is nothing more than a statement of confirmation bias. It applies to myself and it apples to everyone posting in this forum.

From 2019...

https://ndc.services.cdc.gov/case-definitions/respiratory-syncytial-virus-associated-mortality-2019/

Note this bit...

“...A more accurate assessment of RSV-associated deaths is important for establishing a baseline level of mortality ahead of the potential licensures of vaccines, immunoprophylaxis products, and anti-viral therapies...”

So we’ve got that now...?

If not, WTH are we doing?!
