President Trump Signs Executive Order Prohibiting Funding for Schools with COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
I’ve seen a Trumpite claim that the measles outbreak is due to migrants. No evidence supplied or needed.
What we do know is that cases are heavily in school-age unvaccinated children.
One good thing about the RSV shot is that it’s a one and done; you don’t need boosters.
Yeah, I felt worse than when I had covid.
Its okay to get 2 vax’s at once?
This county, and the adjacent Lea County in New Mexico, are doing free vaccination clinics. I hope as many people take advantage as possible.
Yes, the pharmacist ok’ed me getting covid and flu shots on the same visit. Plus then you only have to do one bus trip.
Don’t wait until April. Get it now.
I’ve done that. You’re extra sore but it’s not that bad and then it’s all done.
Sorry about the confusion. I will get vaxxed asap. I can call and ask my dr about the rsv.
The age and eligibility for RSV. Without other chronic health condition and a slightly higher age your doc may advised you to wait. Ask the pharmacist who gives you your Covid and flu vax, they will know the precise parameters.
I was 73, have asthma and one paralyzed lung and spend a lot of time with two germ factory grandkids (6 and 2, both in school or preschool).
I got my flu and COVID (Moderna booster) shots together and other than a mildly sore arm for a couple of days, no problem.
What could go wrong with not getting vaccinated. Just ask Vance’s (I think the relationship is) niece. (The link goes to Yahoo.)
A relative of Vice President JD Vance says an Ohio hospital has refused to put her 12-year-old daughter on its heart transplant waiting list over her vaccine status.
Jeneen Deal, a mom-of-12 from Indiana who is related to Vance’s half-siblings through marriage, adopted Adaline from China as a 4-year-old knowing the little girl had two heart conditions, Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, that meant she would one day require a transplant.
And why hasn’t she been vaccinated?
The facility requires that heart transplant patients receive vaccinations for Covid-19 and flu as recipients are at much higher risk of infection – something the Deals aren’t willing to allow for their daughter.
Deal and her husband Brayton, who are both members of a non-denominational Christian church, said that the vaccines conflict with their religious and medical beliefs and that they would not be willing to inoculate their daughter.
The pair have broadcast both their faith and vaccine skepticism in posts on their Facebook pages
Contrary to your medical belief? What, pray tell, qualifies you have have medical beliefs in the first place?
And yet these fuckwads are perfectly happy to use modern medicine for a heart transplant. Just none of that icky devil-spawn vaccines!
Yeah, what even is a “medical belief”? You can have religious or political or other ideological beliefs about matters of subjective opinion. And of course you’re free to believe anything you want about any subject whatever, including medical matters.
But “medical belief” isn’t a coherent concept like “medical knowledge” or “medical uncertainty”. It’s just a figure of speech to conceal the fact that you’re rejecting medical facts in deference to your own irrational convictions.
Right. And I’m honestly surprsied the PRC’s government hasn’t said something about this yet. Maybe they feel they have it covered with their ban on foreigners from adopting Chinese children.
Expect an Executive Order prohibiting using vaccine status as a requirement for transplants by morning.
Hell, here’s a post I made 12 YEARS ago about a US measles outbreak, i.e. pre-Trump, responding to a poster using that same old “dirty immigrant” racist schtick.
People can suck sometimes. Or a lot of the time, really.
Shortly before Christmas I got my flu, covid and RSV shots on the same trip to CVS, two in my left arm and one in my right. I don’t remember which went where, but I had minimal aftereffects from doing so, just a little soreness in my right arm.
I also found out that they’re no longer updating covid vaccination cards to show what boosters you’ve gotten. Considering the number of those I’ve gotten, that’s probably a good thing.
The pharmacy (CVS) does track my vaccinations and boosters. I also update my Doc, at my annual physical. I even got my GOVT. shot records from the big yellow cards added. That’s a lot of shots from deployments to parts unknown.
I’m usually really good at keeping up with my vaccinations, but at the end of last year I was told the RSV vax was not critical, so I decided to put it off for a little bit after getting the “regular” flu shot (I never get the nasty flu I used to get like clockwork every December when I starting religiously getting my flu shot).
Well, I spent Christmas Day in the ER, and the next three days in the hospital with an additional week of bed rest (no going upstairs!) after I was discharged. All due to RSV.
I got my RSV vax last Tuesday, and I had only minor soreness. So, it’s a crapshoot. Still waaaaaaay better than getting RSV. Believe me.
