Wow! This should be illegal. The claims are barely or not at all supported by the citations.

At best the SG is uneducated and mislead or actively malicious at worst. Most likely, I would guess this is politically motivated due to the upcoming election.

Are people still doing boosters?

Unless you live in the wilderness.

Do people? I don’t know.

Should we? Definitely (CDC).

Yes the boosters are still being offered and people who care about catching or transmiting covid are getting them. If you are interested the current crop of boosters includes the most recent major variant that has been causing the spike. If you don’t have insurance your state or local government should have an access program if you want a booster.

Just like people have always been getting Flu boosters, yes

CaptainKickass ,

Only the smart people

icenando ,

Only the vulnerable and elderly are being offered a booster in the UK 😞

Yes. Unfortunately the optimal timing is different from flu so you should probably go twice rather than get both at once

I’m happy to be a bit suboptimal and get vaccinated when convenient. I got my flu shot a week before school came back in session and my COVID shot a week later, because that’s when the new booster came out where I am. I’d have been happy to get them at the same time because better something suboptimal than nothing because you forgot or got busy.

Do you have a source on that? I asked about this recently when I got mine and was told there was no issue with getting both at once

Bonesince1997 ,

Yes

Yes, and updated boosters recently came out in the United States. Got my booster 2 weeks ago and it went smoothly.

I’m sad that children will be harmed by this but I sure hope their retirement community that marched for Trump and included a guy that said “white power” to a camera is reading and following instructions. In fact, let’s pass out flyers.

I hope they don’t, and get vaccinated instead, because not getting a shit becausebof this misinformation will increase the overall spread.

icenando ,

Is this like an official government department?

spankmonkey ,

Yes, it is an official government website (ends in .gov) and that is some prime antivaxx bullshit aimed to discourage people from getting vaccinated.

This is actively malicous and will result in more deaths and people suffering from long term covid. I hope that there is a method for suing to get that pulled down and action taken against whoever had it put there as public health officials discouraging safe and effective practices should be illegal.
