[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn’t there recent research from Europe saying either covid or the vaccine (they aren’t sure) ages your blood vessels by 5 years on average—noting the link to vasculitis (among other issues)?

[b]Perhaps that’s why most doctors aren’t recommending it for kids and healthy adults any longer?
[/b]
FTR I got the original vax and was boosted, but I haven’t opted for continual covid vaccines. I’m also a lifelong liberal who would never vote for a R. But my pediatrician stopped recommending the covid vaccine a while ago based on “the science,” so I feel like research has evolved.

Instead of a knee-jerk reaction, perhaps there is a middle ground? [/quote]

This is incorrect. The American pediatric assoc and American assoc of gyn and obstetrics both just strongly recommended the covid booster for pregnant women and children because of the wave and danger they are seeing to kids in ER. Just to clarify, those associations are made up of doctors.

The study you are referring to shows that Covid virus (not vaccine) ages vessels, most notably in women.

I think maybe your pediatrician needs a refresher course.

I’m not sure they can effectively determine whether it’s the virus or vax that is problematic.

I know a [b]lot[/b] of young women who have developed bizarre health issues since covid. Think: vascular compressions requiring transplants/artery rerouting. These were otherwise healthy girls. There are a limited number of specialists who can do such a surgery, and those specialists can’t pinpoint if it’s the vac or virus that prompted the issue.

My pediatrician group is plugged into the CDC and the latest research. Regardless, commonsense dictates there’s no need to continue to vaccinate healthy kids when covid is presenting like a cold for most people.

How many?[/quote]

NP here. Anecdote of one: My college aged niece got all her covid shots and boosters from 2020 to 2023. In summer 2024, she finally got covid for the first time. She developed a heart condition over the following months following the covid infection, or at least that is when symptoms became apparent. I can't remember the details of the condition. But in her case, IF her condition had anything to do covid (which is a possibility according to the doctors), it seems to have been covid itself, not the vaccine. [/quote]

[b]Okay, this is another example of why Americans are incapable of making good health decisions[/b]. What an incredible number of leaps you're making. Here's one possibility you didn't cover: Maybe having all those boosters combined with getting the virus caused the issue. I mean, if the boosters are supposed to prevent severe illness, and now your niece is severely ill, doesn't that say something about the efficacy--or possible lack thereof--of the boosters? Especially for a presumably healthy young person? To me, that points directly to a booster problem. What a bizarre take.[/quote]

I can't tell if your post is satire or not.
