Massachusetts has released new state-specific recommendations saying people of all ages should be vaccinated against COVID-19, despite federal guidelines that would otherwise have made that difficult.
“We are not going to let Donald Trump or Robert Kennedy take away your ability to make your own health care decisions,” Gov. Maura Healey said in a statement Wednesday. “Massachusetts will continue to lead with science and protect access to life-saving vaccines. We are taking this action today so the people of Massachusetts know that you will continue to be able to get the vaccines you want and need – no matter what happens at the federal level.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently changed its approval of this year’s vaccines, making them available only to people age 65 and over or at risk of severe disease.
Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said it would continue to make the shots available to everyone, joining a coalition of other states in the Northeast doing the same.
“Vaccines remain the most effective public health intervention of the past century – they have saved millions of lives,” state Public Health Commissioner Dr. Robbie Goldstein said.
“Massachusetts has never backed away from doing what is hard when it is also right. Today, we are protecting our residents by providing recommendations for COVID vaccinations that are grounded in evidence and science, driven by equity, and shaped by the lived experiences of our communities,” Goldstein said.

What a terrible State.
I can’t imagine anyone wanting a covid jab now. But then again, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to vote for Democrats.
Imagine still wearing a mask in 2025? I still see at least one on almost every trip to the grocery store. Probably they only places these people still leave the house for.
There is no such “science”and never was for children and young adults.
informed consent is NOT taken.
honest dangers are not admitted by imposters that never
passed a medical board.
We still see 😷.
Pfizer concur$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Maura aspires to achieve Moron Status, she is still struggling to make it that high.
“Vaccines remain the most effective public health intervention of the past century.”
The covid vaccinations are not effective and lead to many complications. Proof: some people with covid vaccinations still got the covid virus.
Absolutely 100% PASS!!
“all the people I know who never got the jab survived multiple winter of severe illness and death”
I didn’t survive because I refused the jab. Now go get your shot.
Funny. It seems like only a few years ago, they were quite anxious to go after those who refused their vax.
Get one... Then you may as well get the boosters while you’re there and save yourself some time... Why go over and over and over and over again... For a vaccine... That doesn’t vaccinate you... But it keeps you from giving it to other people... Except it really doesn’t... So I guess the only question is WHY! Oh WHY! Oh WHY! would you even bother?
People get the flu every year... Some die, some live. People get pneumonia every year... Some die, some live. From the time you’re born life is a gamble that you’ll eventually lose.
““We are not going to let Donald Trump or Robert Kennedy take away your ability to make your own health care decisions,” Gov. Maura Healey said”
Trump and Kennedy are not trying to take away health care decisions from individuals. Crazed leftists like Healey are.
““Massachusetts has never backed away from doing what is hard when it is also right. Today, we are protecting our residents by providing recommendations for COVID vaccinations that are grounded in evidence and science, driven by equity, and shaped by the lived experiences of our communities,” Goldstein said.”
Leftist blather.
Of course they do. So they can re-take unlimited control of their fleeing citizens.
Maybe just for people who want a turbo cancer.
There were some COVID nuts here on FR and many are still here.
The only people I still see wearing masks is blacks. At least 10% of blacks I meet still wear masks. They plan to wear them the rest of their lives.
