  My favorite JFK conspiracy is that no one killed him. His head just did that.
  
  I like to imagine that he entered a Mandela trance that gave him a peek into our timeline where he saw RFK Jr. Then his head blew up.

Now, I'm not saying everything isn't a shitshow. Clearly it is. Based on the general insanity, I am 100% in favor of getting vaccinated sooner rather than later. But "might" != "will".

I'm quite glad you included article links. Careful, though; the image posted is how propaganda works. By itself, it is unsourced, apart from the Unambiguous Science logo at the bottom (which could have been put there by anyone). UnSci refers to itself as

No sensational headlines, no politicizing of science. Just evidence based information.

And as noted early in this comment, the image says "will revoke" while the reporting says "might/may revoke".

  Yah while I’m aware of the situation and what’s been said, what has been said wasn’t exactly from a highly reputable source, it wasn’t even from the DHHS, it was someone who “talked to” RFK, and somehow every news outlet picked it up.
  
  That all said, it could indeed happen, the administration is unhinged and a spike in covid deaths would be great for their plan of manufactured chaos, but they also have a much longer track-record of leaking crazy implications in order to fuck with the valuation of stocks.
  
  They may also be planning to do the Chairman Trump thing again and leverage their threats for a 10% cut of Moderna and Pfizer’s profits.
  
  All in all, it’s way too unverified and unpredictable to know for sure what’s going to happen, however this infographic/poster thing is really terrible. It’s framed like an announcement, posted in first-person, and has no links or sources. It’s so terrible I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone in the administration made it and leaked it also.

  I guess they’re not authorizing the licensure of them, so that’s why it’s so tentative. He’s doing the trump vague thing, so you can’t go after him directly and then slowly take things away.
  
  The rise in COVID comes as the Trump administration has delayed the rollout of the updated vaccine for the fall. Last year, the federal government had fully green-lighted the annual reformulation of the vaccine by June, in time for a rollout that began in September.
  
  This year, however, the Department of Health and Human Services led by vaccine skeptic Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has in effect delayed the rollout of this fall’s COVID shot.
  
  “Updated COVID-19 vaccines have been delayed this year due to federal policy changes, and we are awaiting [Food and Drug Administration] licensure of this season’s products,” the L.A. County Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Times. “This means availability in September may be later than what people experienced last fall.”
  
  The California Department of Public Health also warned that because the federal government hasn’t made decisions on licensure approvals and recommendations, “availability and timing of specific COVID-19 vaccine products may be more limited and occur on a later schedule.”

  Lupus is on the list of conditions that merit a vaccine for the under 65 crowd, since it is an autoimmune disease with immune compromising medications.
  
  It’s actually a pretty long list. Being overweight (BMI over 25), having ADHD, depression, being sedentary, being a current or former smoker, having substance misuse disorders, along with all the other ones you’d expect, like asthma, cancer, heart disease, transplant recipients, and anyone who needs a careworker.
  
  As of now, you can self certify as being in one of these groups (you don’t need a doctor’s note). And your doctor can still recommend it for you if you’re not on the list, as long as you don’t have an anti vaxxer doc.

I am not a vaccine sceptic but I am curious as to why America still vaccinates everyone for Covid. In Sweden we haven’t cared for many years about getting vaccinated and it hasn’t been a problem. The vaccine is available to get if you need it. But it’s not something we collectively vaccinate for any more.

  Cant speak for the US, but in general, Covid is still more dangerous during the acute infection than the flu and also causes much larger numbers of post-viral sequelae. Those are all potential reasons to recommend the vaccine, which can reduce the severity of both

  I’m Swedish, live in France.
  
  Here: vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate, in Sweden : meh do whatever.
  
  Also Swedish people: hello neighbor please you’re only 5 meters away from me it makes me uncomfortable.
  
  In the meantime in France: Hello friends and neighbours, kiss kiss kiss kiss!
  
  On a more serious note, Sweden had the medical capacity that France didn’t have, which is one of the big reasons in the very different response to the pandemic in those two countries.

- NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  I saw a study the other day that mentioned that Sweden during the pandemic had a median time of 30 days sick leave for those who had Covid.
  
  In the US that would be rare if impossible for a lot of people. I would think if someone could get a shot that would lessen symptoms or duration in a country that has such a poor health care safety net it might be worth while.

    Yeah most people here can stay home if they are sick. You get 80% of your salary to start and then it gets lower the longer you are sick. The first 14 days are paid by the workplace and after 14 days the government takes over.

  Same in Germany. Last year I asked some people who got vaccinated if they think I also should get another shot and all of them told me that I’m not in a vulnerable group (or a caretaker) so I shouldn’t bother. So we basically repeat what we know from the normal flu (influenza) and just vaccinate vulnerable people. I’m not sure if this is the best way to do it, because I think many people die each year of the flu as well. However, death statistics are hard and I couldn’t find any reliable data on this either.

  It very likely has been a problem and is just being underreported.
  
  A single infection often doesn’t cause much harm, but those who have constant exposure and infections (teachers especially) are having major health problems. It’s barely mentioned outside of science papers.

    Our health department seems to be releasing weekly reports about the covid situation. folkhalsomyndigheten.se/…/aktuell-veckorapport-om… That week 10 people died with covid in their bodies. All ten were 65+ years, 7 of them was 80+ years.
    
    I am not knowledgeable enought to know if this is a lot or not but it seems low to me. I have faith that my government would do something if the situation was bad.

  This is the Danish opinion
  
  The purpose of vaccination is not to prevent infection with covid-19, and people aged under 50 are therefore currently not being offered booster vaccination. People aged under 50 are generally not at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19. In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population

  You guys have benefits to protect you, if you get sick. Americans barely get sick leave, medical bills are ridiculous, and if covid leaves you crippled, SSI (Disability) pays a whopping $11k a YEAR. It’s not enough to survive on, despite paying taxes. Yeah, someone might have worked enough hours to get SSDI, which is a few dollars more an hour, but still not enough to cover rent.

FYI there are NO COVID vaccines that are covered by the VICP (www.hrsa.gov/…/covered-vaccines). They are only covered by the CICP. If you are medically injured from a COVID vaccines the CICP will not ever pay you pain and suffering or other damages. They will literally only cover medical bills which you didn’t get covered already from your insurance. You will fight for years and years just to get that covered and that’s if they even cover you at all which they probably won’t. I was personally injured by a COVID vaccine and I am one of only 39 people to have received a medical payment for my injury. (See data here: Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) Data | HRSA share.google/Ncd8NXbzK2cAdFkTO)

Do not get a COVID vaccine if you don’t need it. Demand your local government officials make adding COVID vaccines to the VICP list!

So if one already had a dose of the previous booster about a year or so ago, would it be helpful to get the same version of the booster again now?

Is the post simply suggesting to people that haven’t yet had the booster go get it? Or is it saying you’re better off getting the same booster again rather than nothing?

Also, I’m assuming people with the means to go to a different country without these laughing stock “leaders” would be better waiting for those countries to approve and release up-to-date vaccines.

I’m not sure what the data is for children, but after speaking with my doctor (who has gotten vaccinated multiple times) says they don’t believe the vaccination will be very effective this year since there is no clear data on its effectiveness. They basically they said it’s probably not worth it. They highly suggested the flu vaccine though. Take that info for what you will. I’m not sure what I’m doing yet.
