Given her age, she's probably in a low risk group, so it is unlikely to severely impact her. But the vaccine does provide a ~10-fold reduction in hospitalization risk, so even if she was high risk she'd likely be okay. The risk is never zero.

That is the new message because the vaccine does not prevent infection like they advertised.

Bummer. I hope she feels better soon. Maybe she should be more diligent about wearing masks, or getting some more booster shots, or something, I don't know.

Walensky must have skipped a booster.

So shouldn't you get boosters every few weeks?

Aren't vitamin supplements and healthy diet a better "vaccine" that helps prevent not just one type of infection?

Remember when Trump got covid? He was very sick yet afraid to go to the hospital because he didn't want to look weak. But his handlers told him that if he didn't walk out the door on his own, he'd have to be carried out on a stretcher and then he'd really look weak!

After that he made sure anyone in the White House who served dinner to him was wearing a mask and he got kind of obsessive about it. Good thing he was given those monoclonal antibodies or it may have been bye bye as he was overweight and also not a young man. No vaccine in those days, just masks and some people got good treatment.

He was never very sick, they gave him mAbs as a precaution.

I wonder what the COVIDIANS will say then.
No one dies from COVID these days, so Democrats are safe from that scenario.

Well, she got the 'new' bivalent booster. If mutations are being used as an excuse for why the vaccines don't work, why make vaccines at all? All viruses mutate. Sars-CoV-2 mutates slower than Influenza and Measles viruses.

If they don’t make more boosters, how will people like that be able to feel smarter and more superior because they’re “following the science” and getting all their boosters?

We can give them saline injections at this point, probably more effective.
