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.

“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,”

I guess this ‘scientist’ did not get the memo the vax does not prevent infection or transmission,

Even if it did (and it does not), What Kind of monster gives an experimental drug to children at zero risk of dying to save people over 70 years old?

Dr. Harvey Risch claims that there is evidence of cancers developing at an increased rate after COVID-19 vaccination.

Key Points:
The increased cases of cancer include what Risch terms “turbo cancers,” which are unusually aggressive and manifest in younger people without a family history of the disease.

He argues that COVID-19 vaccines have done varying degrees of damage to the immune systems of some individuals, which could contribute to a higher risk of developing cancer.

Official medical agencies do not count someone as vaccinated until two weeks after receiving the vaccine. However, serious adverse effects are reported within the first four days.

Physicians have expressed skepticism and caution regarding Dr. Risch’s claims, emphasizing the need for peer-reviewed research to substantiate the allegations.

“We live in social contact with each other and therefore spread low-level infections. This is part of human life that we take for granted and we try to treat it the best we can. That’s how we should be managing this.”

– Dr. Harvey Risch, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine.

“They were lined up 40 deep at the Walgreens for booster flu shot today!”

One of our normally sane relatives will drive 40 miles each way to get this Covid B$ posing as real medicine.

He will pay close to $200 for this B$ in a pharmacy. If he waits a couple weeks, his PPO will provide it for free.

A couple of years ago, he drove 60 miles each way to get his second shot and paid close to $100 for the shot. Again it would have been free in a couple of weeks with a minimal drive at his PPO.

Might as well be reading entrails and blaming bad humors.

The Black Death of the mid 1300's would stay in a town for a summer, a winter and then the next summer. Then it would be gone. For COVID to still be around after 3 years means that modern medicine of the 21st Century is inferior in some ways to the Medieval version.

How come other countries don't recommend the vaxx for people below age 65? How come WHO no longer recommends vaxx for teenagers and young people. Is the USA off planet Earth?

I would say at least 50% of the population is stupid enough to go get the additional boosters and that parents will intentionally of that 50% give it to their kids

"Why? Because the last version didn’t kill enough."
The last version is still killing; just not fast enough. They need to step up the pace.

This unprecedented campaign has not eradicated Corona; it has not even suppressed infections
