Completely irresponsible. Imagine if your spouse or parent is potentially diagnosed with cancer and you want to be proactive about protecting them...
What does this mean in practice? Like can docs still make the decision or if the FDA doesn’t recommend it they can’t vaccinate under 65/high risk at all? Overall the policy is probably sound there’s no need to keep re-upping on boosters if you’re young
If they don't recommend it, it's not clear if insurance will cover it. We have grandparents with cancer and auto-immune disorders so it's reasonable for us to want to vaccinate our kids to protect extended family who want to see their grandchildren.
Have you looked into alternative ways to boost your family's immune system naturally during flu season? I've heard elderberry syrup and vitamin C can be helpful. What are your thoughts on that?
only for covid, not flu we don't know how effective covid vax are for kids for any meaningful endpoint in 2025, including symptomatic disease or transmission (evidence suggest it doesn't prevent). its not the same disease as it was in 2020-2021
please provide a concise summary of the policy, and a letter grade on how good it is as a public health initiative
I assume it will be easy to get for those with resources to have a doctor suggest it's medically necessary. But that's an absurd requirement.
Actually ~ you and your kids would be much better off without polluting your bodies with this gene therapy technology. Plenty of studies now indicate it's not good for you.
The headline literally says "...there was evidence to justify approval only for older people and those with medical conditions." Should families have access to ivermectin prescriptions as well? Or do you simply disagree about the strength of evidence?
