Biden administration to urge Americans get new COVID-19 boosters
The Biden administration plans to urge all Americans to get a booster shot for the coronavirus this autumn to counter a new wave of infections, a White House official said on Sunday.
The official said that while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are reporting an increase in infections and hospital admissions from the virus, overall levels remain low.
On Thursday, Moderna (MRNA.O) said initial data showed its updated COVID-19 vaccine is effective against the "Eris" and "Fornax" subvariants in humans.
Moderna and other COVID-19 vaccine makers Novavax (NVAX.O), Pfizer (PFE.N) and German partner BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE) have created versions of their shots aimed at the XBB.1.5 subvariant.
Pending approval from health regulators in the United States and Europe, the companies expect the updated shots to be available in the coming weeks for the autumn vaccination season.
"We will be encouraging all Americans to get those boosters in addition to flu shots and RSV shots," the official said, referring to the Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
No offence intended. But if a chemical could kill me in a microscopic dose I'd probably want to share the name of said chemical. Which chemical will kill you? And how much of it is in a typical vaccination?
Or are you just taking us for a story-telling ride?
No story, honestly I don’t remember the name of it, I’ve had so much going on in the last couple years I’m lucky to remember it my birthday today.
I don’t think it’s one in the typical vaccinations since I can take the flu shot with no problems as well as my pneumonia shot very 5 years.
One thing I don’t do is tell fables, I’m not the Bible after all.
No, you just keep leaving out key details while fear mongering.
Fuck you. I’m not fear mongering. I made my comment if you don’t want to believe it that is your choice. I’m not going to hold anyone hand when telling the truth never have never will. For example the Bible is a bunch of fairy tales and trump is a traitorous son of a bitch.
Good day.
Listen so I believe that you believe you heard something, and I fully get your paranoia. It can't be fun going thru what you went thru. Would you be against the idea of your cardiologist putting their recommendation in writing? Explicitly saying "if you get the vaccine you will die from it because of such and such chemical". It really shouldn't take that long and let's say somehow someway your doc misspoke or you misheard it, even if it is a 1 in a billion chance, wouldn't it be better to be sure?
No, I don't expect you to share this with me or anyone else. Just have it for your own good.
I agree with you but after my second heart attack, he passed away from one. How’s that for irony?
Anyway I’m not really worried about it. The doctors don’t ask about them anymore anyway.
I see. Do you have a new cardiologist assigned to you? Can he/she review the medical notes from the previous one?
Again, I do believe you believe what you are saying.
I do, I will talk to her at my next appointment. Which is in 3 months
