Why the CDC Recommends That Everyone Over the Age of 6 Months Get the Updated COVID Vaccine
ABC News ^ | Youri Benadjaoud

Immunity wanes after anywhere from three to six months, experts say.

An independent panel of advisers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that everyone over the age of 6 months get the updated COVID vaccine this fall.

"Even children and adults with no underlying conditions can still experience severe illness due to COVID," said Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Most infectious disease experts agree with the recommendations made by the federal health agency.

"I agree with the CDC recommendations because it is a simple recommendation to follow, and I believe that the benefit of the vaccine outweighs any risk at every age level," Dr. Todd Ellerin, chief of infectious diseases at South Shore Health, told ABC News.

"It’s consistent and harmonized with the flu shot and I think that really important. We need to emphasize that,” he added.

Dr. Donald Alcendor, a professor of microbiology, immunology and physiology at Vanderbilt University, said the sweeping recommendation "was the right thing to do."

"If you start to restrict recommendations to certain age groups or vulnerabilities and leave younger people out of it, you forget that young people can spread COVID and can get older people sick," he told ABC News.

Most infectious disease experts agree with the recommendations made by the federal health agency.

I think Dr. Risch at Yale University (chief epidemiologist) come to a different conclusion.

What complete nonsense.

If I correctly understand, both mRNA Frankenstein human experiments approved by FDA while the NovaVax, protein-based vaccine sits unapproved.

No more mRNA poisons for my precious bod.

Why? Because the last version didn’t kill enough.

It will be interesting to see what the take rate is on this.

A metric of how few people still believe in “the Science” from the CDC.

Because they are trying to kill you.

The carbon they are trying to get rid of is you.

To kill more people?

It was NEVER about Covid and ALWAYS about the vaccine, people!

Covid is their religion. The vaccine is their communion.
