Total rejection of the covid vaccine this yr - if only 1/3rd of seniors got it imagine how low it is overall? :clap

 

 

 

However, recent surveys have shown that Americans appear to be showing signs of vaccine fatigue. One from the health policy research group KFF found that about three-fourths of respondents said they weren't concerned about getting COVID-19.

“With fall and winter holidays coming up, the possibility of a further wave of COVID-19 infections is looming with increased indoor gatherings and time with friends and family. Yet, most of the public is not worried about spreading or catching COVID-19 over the coming months,” the KFF stated.

It noted that 54 percent are “not too worried” or “not at all worried” about COVID-19 increases or hospitalizations.

There were 7.4 million fewer influenza vaccine doses administered to adults in pharmacies and physician offices than were administered during the 2022–23 influenza season, according to the CDC.

Nearly 16 percent of U.S. adults aged 60 and older were reported to have taken an RSV vaccine, and 36 percent of U.S. adults aged 65 and older took a COVID-19 vaccine for the 2023–24 period.

The CDC also stated in December that COVID-19 booster uptake is lower than it had anticipated for this season, and a member of the Food and Drug Administration's panel of experts said in September that he won't take the latest booster shot and wouldn't advise a healthy American younger than 70 to get it either.

I think the goal of this vaccine is to keep people out of the hospital, keep them out of the intensive care unit and keep them from dying. That's the goal. That was always the stated goal. It remains the goal,” Dr. Paul Offit told a media outlet. “So who is it that's getting hospitalized? Who is it that most benefits? People who are elderly, people who have multiple comorbidities, health problems that put them at high risk, chronic lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc. People who are immunocompromised and pregnant people. I think that those are the ones who most benefit.”

Recent CDC Study Results

Earlier this month, a CDC study found that children who reported to pediatric center emergency departments with respiratory illness and were hospitalized were more likely to have taken COVID-19 vaccines.

The overwhelming majority of the young children in the study never received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That group of 6,377 far outnumbered the 281 children who received one dose and the 776 children who received at least two doses. Across the United States, most young children are unvaccinated. Of the unvaccinated children in the study, 44 percent were hospitalized. Of the vaccinated, 55 percent were hospitalized.

The study focused only on COVID-19 vaccines, not vaccines for influenza or RSV.

Lauren Wen belongs in jail. Fear mongering moron and liar. 

The local news and radio here still push the vax, hype up seasonal colds and flu/covid like it's something new. Lots of pfizer commercials running all day.

Sadly i still see a few masked people around, not many, maybe 3%, but they're still there.

Just think, 4 years ago you were patient zero, and I was one of the first hyping up a pandemic(remember when I told you shanghai was empty and you called me a moron)? I realized this was a hoax by march and hopped off the fear train. These kooks have been on the train for 4 long years.

Vaccine ads still all over on TV and radio around here, local TV with lots of stories about high respritory illness rates, they know they're running out of time and have about 1 more month before the feeble demand collapses completely, once we move into feb or close to march no one who hasn't yet is going to get jabbed.

Recently i had a telephone conversation with my brother and he has told me that he recently got COVID again. So i asked him how many times he has had the virus and he said he has tested positive four times. Now the funny part to me was when i asked him how many times he has been vaxed and he said around four or five times. Not sure but i remember when people would get flu shots they sometimes ended up getting it anyway a short time later.

Now as for me i will never get vaxxed and don't want it no matter how many times a doctor asks me. I just now got it for the first time and i hope its the last time.

How are you doing, getting better yet? Did they give you a RX for that paxlovid? Also, did you go to the ER or urgent care, if ER why?
