Seasonal COVID Shots May No Longer Be Possible Under Trump

Under President Trump, the Food and Drug Administration may no longer approve seasonal COVID-19 vaccines updated for the virus variants circulating that year, according to recent statements by Trump administration officials.

This is why Trump AND the Senate Republicans are a danger to all Americans: They've allowed a man with no medical degree, medical training, or medical experience to be the federal government's mouthpiece on health issues.

... So far, COVID-19 vaccines have been treated the exact same way, save for the fact that the vaccines that use mRNA technology do not need as much lead time for manufacturing. In recent years, the FDA decided on formulations for annual COVID shots around June, with doses rolled out in the fall alongside flu shots.

However, this process is now in question based on statements from Trump administration officials. ...

If the FDA does not approve the seasonal COVID shots, my health insurance won't cover them.

Health insurance for me covers approved shots 100%, i.e., no co-pay.

So, what do you think? Frank insanity looking better as an explanation for what Trump does or does not do?

Make the TrumpVirus Great Again!!!

I wonder if it's the same strategy as before.

Hoping sickness will effect cities and more populated areas in the country to help kill off democratic voters.

#7: Capitalists profit from our debts, illnesses, or deaths: Funeral homes, hospitals, shooting ranges, banks, bankruptcy lawyers, or loan sharks. The elites view us as food or something that can be extracted of its wealth. The 'finish line' used to be age 65 to qualify for Medicare and Social Security. I know people past 70 still working and not enjoying their so-called "golden years."

So, these actions seem to be a medically-illiterate person, who is running Pres Trump's health team,telling me I cannot protect myself from disease.

This is going to save a lot of lives. An MIT study just came out the vax reduces average lifespan by thirty years (if was 50% for the humanized mice according to a Pfizer whistleblower, but the results of that study are sealed for 72 years).

The vaxed are 20% more likely to be infected, and 6x as likely to be hospitalized.

500,000 thousand Americans have died from immediate side effects.

"Excess deaths" are spiralling.

It now appears that the blood clots noticed by mkorticians are caused by prions created by the vaccine.

Japan called it "the Second Hiroshima", and they are pissed. Read forign news about the vax.

The vaxed will die. The unvaxed will be hunted.

@#12 ... MIT study just came out the vax reduces average lifespan by thirty years ...

So, I should be dead now?

Study claims that COVID-19 vaccines reduce life expectancy (July 2024)
publichealthcollaborative.org

... Vaccine opponents are circulating a recent study that claims to have found a decrease in life expectancy following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The study assessed death from any cause in people who were unvaccinated and those who had received one or more vaccine doses, finding that a higher number of vaccine doses corresponded with a higher death risk.

Messaging may highlight that similar claims about vaccination decreasing life expectancy were debunked in 2023. Messaging may also note that, in the new study, both age and instances of pre-existing conditions were slightly higher in the vaccinated population than in the unvaccinated population, which may have increased the risk of death in the vaccinated group. This is because people who are at higher risk are also more likely to get vaccinated. The study also included only a limited number of risk factors in its analysis of death risk, which may skew the results.

Large global studies have found a link between COVID-19 vaccination and lower mortality. ...

It's only part of it, I'll find you more.

In the matched cohort:

All-cause mortality was significantly higher in BNT162b2 recipients: 847.2 vs. 617.9 deaths per 100,000 persons (OR 1.384; 95% CI: 1.331"1.439).
Cardiovascular mortality was also elevated: 248.7 vs. 162.4 deaths per 100,000 (OR 1.540; 95% CI: 1.431"1.657).
COVID-19 mortality was higher for BNT162b2: 55.5 vs. 29.5 deaths per 100,000 (OR 1.882; 95% CI: 1.596"2.220).
Non-COVID-19 mortality showed a similar pattern (OR 1.356; 95% CI: 1.303"1.412).

These differences were most pronounced among individuals aged 60 and older.

Let me say it again: all cause mortality for the vaxed 847.2 vgs. 617.9 for those who will live to be hunted.

That's about 20% in just one year.

What do you think your odds are now? The injection slowly causes a prion disease that takes time to form clod clots, but we are already seeing them.

They already fired the physicians at the CDC who approve vaccines and set the schedule for their manufacture.

As a result, there probably won't be flu vaccines in time for next winter's outbreak.

Ironically, I had to get an updated Covid shot last week, as mandated by my employer. Fortunately, it was the Novavax version. The side effects were very mild compared to the mRNA junk. On one hand, I think it's sad that this version of the vaccine will be delayed for those who want it. On the other hand, I think it's even sadder than many people here are arguing against rigorous safety and testing regulations, just because of politics.

LOL they didn't account for bias from comorbidities or previous health.

It's pure garbage of the typical pure garbage from anti-vaxx idiots.

Authors include MIT professor Retsef Levi and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.

LOL anything with that FL idiot on it is immediately suspect. Turns out that automatic skepticism is warranted given the above.

The other guy is a faculty member of the school of management and is a "Professor of Operations Management."

LOL leave science to people who aren't completely braindead, dips*&^.

Fortunately, it was the Novavax version.

That's the booster I insisted on for my family last year and will be the one I'll insist on moving forward from now on (assuming it's available).

The side effects were very mild compared to the mRNA junk.

I hate to tell you, but the side effects aren't because it's junk. The side effects are because it works a little too well.

On one hand, I think it's sad that this version of the vaccine will be delayed for those who want it. On the other hand, I think it's even sadder than many people here are arguing against rigorous safety and testing regulations, just because of politics.

There is no one here arguing against "rigorous safety standards".

Them voices in your head must be getting pretty loud.

The only people I ever see arguing against strict safety standards and regulations are ignorant maga maroons.

II had no bad side effects from the mRNA vaccine and I believe it saved me and my wife from ending up in the ICU when Covid finally reached my family.

GFY with your hateful ignorance and lies.

Millions died because of the misinformation spread by people like you.

COVID shots - do not stop one from getting it, nor does it stop being passed on once have it. Next you fools till tell us that masks [which only stop bacteria, as virus molecules are small enough to pass through them], or that six foot spacing will help - LOL

The polio shot didn't guarantee one wouldnt get polio. But everybody getting the polio shot nearly eradicated the disease.

But your cult leader screwed up the pandemic so badly that the entire cult became anti vax just to pretend it wasn't trumps fault.
