Why the CDC Recommends That Everyone Over the Age of 6 Months Get the Updated COVID Vaccine
ABC News ^ | Youri Benadjaoud

Immunity wanes after anywhere from three to six months, experts say.

An independent panel of advisers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that everyone over the age of 6 months get the updated COVID vaccine this fall.

"Even children and adults with no underlying conditions can still experience severe illness due to COVID," said Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Most infectious disease experts agree with the recommendations made by the federal health agency.

"I agree with the CDC recommendations because it is a simple recommendation to follow, and I believe that the benefit of the vaccine outweighs any risk at every age level," Dr. Todd Ellerin, chief of infectious diseases at South Shore Health, told ABC News.

"It’s consistent and harmonized with the flu shot and I think that really important. We need to emphasize that,” he added.

Dr. Donald Alcendor, a professor of microbiology, immunology and physiology at Vanderbilt University, said the sweeping recommendation "was the right thing to do."

"If you start to restrict recommendations to certain age groups or vulnerabilities and leave younger people out of it, you forget that young people can spread COVID and can get older people sick," he told ABC News.

Every time they name an “expert” I want to see a list of who is contributing to any research or projects they are associated with. Next, show me any political contributions they have made in the past 10 or 20 years. That ought to clear up a whole lot.

Not just no but HELL NO!!

There is no science here...just wishes and hopes.

Might as well be reading entrails and blaming bad humors.

Covid and Climate Change have something in common. You only get to hear one side of the story. One side only. Anything that doesn’t fit the official narrative is suppressed.

Science used to be about free and open inquiry. Not any more.

I went to my regular oncologist appointment yesterday. Was never asked about the covid vax, but the nurse asked me about the flu vax, and. When I yold her I never had it she said she would put in my record to never even ask about it. Same with pneumonia vax.

Since I’ve avoided all the vaxxes so far and that has worked out fine for me-I’m just saying no, hell no, no way to this one, too. I like the immune system I have, I take care of it and it serves me well-I don’t choose to have it altered or f’ed with in any way-and that includes vaxxes-any vaxxes, any flu shots. etc...

More on Original Antigenic Sin and the Folly of Our Universal Vaccination Campaign

https://www.eugyppius.com/p/more-on-original-antigenic-sin-and#:~:text=More%20on%20Original%20Antigenic%20Sin%20and%20the%20Folly%20of%20Our%20Universal%20Vaccination%20Campaign

Strategic vaccination conferring immunity against likely future strains is of course exactly the opposite of our current efforts to give every last living human multiple vaccinations against an extinct strain of SARS-2.

*To review: We have now had ten months of mass vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Nearly 7 billion doses have been administered worldwide. This unprecedented campaign has not eradicated Corona; it has not even suppressed infections. Instead, case statistics have ballooned almost everywhere. While the vaccinated appear to enjoy some protection against severe outcomes, skyrocketing transmission means most countries have seen little benefit, on balance, from their universal vaccination campaigns. The most pressing question has become, simply: What is going on?

I’ve explored a few different possibilities. First, there seems to be a Marek Effect at work. We might imagine that all viruses have an optimal level of population-wide virulence – an advantageous degree of aggression at which they can spread effectively, while not driving their hosts underground too soon. Certain Delta sub-strains, previously punished for their excessive aggression in unvaccinated populations, have likely been favoured by the vaccines, which reduce symptoms in the vaccinated without preventing infection for more than a few months. Our vaccines reduced the average vi

The existence of Original Antigenic Sin has been confirmed by generations of research, and the literature is full of curious findings. A major reason flu shots don’t work, for example, is that they are powerless to redirect adult immune systems against novel influenza strains. Most people who get flu shots are adults, with immune systems long since primed by childhood infection. Hence this old Lancet case study of influenza outbreaks among boys at Christ’s Hospital in Sussex in the 1970s:

In each outbreak, the protective effect of inactivated influenza-A vaccine was limited to those boys, not already immune, who were vaccinated for the first time with the most up-to-date strain. Revaccination with the same strain did not increase the degree of protection, and revaccination with a later strain did not afford protection against subsequent challenge.

The flu vaccines, in other words, work great if you’ve never had the flu before. Otherwise they don’t do anything.

Most infectious disease experts agree with the recommendations made by the federal health agency.

Most are recipients of NIH grants, too.

Why?

The real reason is that they get paid big bucks by Pfizer and Moderna to recommend it.

Why?

Because it keeps the cash flowing to Big Pharma companies who have creative ways of enriching the bureaucrats and elected officials who drive sales and taxpayer money their way.

Those million dollar a year lobbyists have to keep taxpayer money flowing from Washington to justify their existence.

I think people are foolish to take even one of the vaccines or boosters. But to give it to a 6 month old child should be considered a criminal act. They are basically untested since all information or experiments results in information that seems to be later found manipulated or false.

Every day new information from studies come out about the harm caused by these shots. I guess I can understand (somewhat) getting the initial “vaccine” three years ago, before so much information was available. But that’s exactly why I never got one. Practically NO information WAS available. It was all a “trust us” and “we know what is best” narrative. I never received a single shot and as far as I know never caught Covid. If I did it was only a few sniffles over a couple of days and nothing to worry about.

At this point, I’m just shocked that people still make appointments or line up to get a Covid “vaccine” or booster, much less get them for their children.
