This is such a sensible response. As a middle aged late woman home right now with my first ever bout of Covid, even I support a common sense, open-minded understanding of this topic. For healthy people, the risks of the vaccines simply do not outweigh the risks of Covid. I don't feel great right now, but it's just a bad cold. I had the first round of shots and no boosters. Too many in the medical community are coming out with new recommendations about the safety and efficacy. I wish people would just be more open-minded instead of jumping right to insults of people who happen to have a different perspective.

You are full of it and don’t know what you are talking about. I’m in the same demographic as you and had Covid 8 months ago. Still struggling with altered taste buds and congestion. My doctor has told me it can take 1-2 years to resolve fully.

Also my WBC’s have mysteriously dropped and they are not sure if this is Covid related or not.

So, please present this mysterious data of which you speak!

The country’s largest pharmacy chain said it needed a C.D.C. panel to recommend the shots before it could offer them nationwide.

We lose the vaccines in DC and Virginia. Thanks a lot MAGA idiots.

CVS will make the vaccines available nationwide if the advisory panel recommends them, Ms. Thibault said. But since the panel hasn’t yet made a decision, the company is holding off in states where it believes its pharmacists need a C.D.C. endorsement.

Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbia.

Unbelievable. News articles are already reporting people turned away from CVS who had vaccine appts.

States are going to have to update their regulations so that they don't rely on a ACIP recommendation, only FDA approval.

They should have started working on that right after Trump was elected.

People are going to be going to Canada to get vaccines so their kids don't die of whooping cough.

Basically it is a huckster with a degree in management who was put on a fake ACIP by rfk, and the next meeting he plans to “review” mRNA vaccines and covid vaccines and remove them from market.

Got my covid booster a week ago. This is terrible, as we are staring down a covid wave and group most affected (according to ER and hospitalizations) is 0-18.

But you didn't get the booster with the updated strain, right? Those are not available yet, my understanding is.

Perhaps that’s why most doctors aren’t recommending it for kids and healthy adults any longer?

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?

This is such a sensible response. As a middle aged late woman home right now with my first ever bout of Covid, even I support a common sense, open-minded understanding of this topic. For healthy people, the risks of the vaccines simply do not outweigh the risks of Covid. I don't feel great right now, but it's just a bad cold. I had the first round of shots and no boosters. Too many in the medical community are coming out with new recommendations about the safety and efficacy. I wish people would just be more open-minded instead of jumping right to insults of people who happen to have a different perspective.

Yes, my Dad was called into the hospital to place breathing machines even though he was a pediatrician because he had experience from his high needs peds cases. He had to wear homemade masks when they ran out and risked his life given he was nearly 70 during COVID's initial hit. He had colleagues die from COVID. He keeps up with all his vaccines and boosters and agrees with his colleagues at AAP.
