It appears that if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gets its way, COVID vaccinations are here to stay and will be pushed once a year on Americans just as the flu vaccine is despite many questioning the efficacy of the jab and the dangerous side effects associated with it.
The FDA advisory panel plans to vote on the yearly jab Thursday, according to the Daily Mail.
This is interesting...
Government contracts with vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna are set to expire this year. That will cause the cost of the jab to potentially quadruple in price. Most Americans won’t feel that pinch directly because it goes through their insurance, but their premiums will almost certainly rise over it. The uninsured will definitely be feeling it if they choose to get inoculated.
...
Americans can expect to pay approximately $130 for Moderna’s vaccine, which is estimated to cost just $1.18 to make. That’s a 10,000 percent markup. The vaccine goes for about $26 a dose currently.
Good luck with that...
“I really believe this is why God gave us two arms — one for the flu shot and the other one for the Covid shot,” Dr. Ashish Jha, White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator, said in September according to the Daily Mail.
Wow...
IMO it is simply too early to make such a proposal. But no doubt they know that, and only discussing and providing the possibility. There is a good chance that the acute phase of the Pandemic is over, and we are into the endemic phase. We have a much longer experience with Influenza, but still have prediction and uncertainties with the recommended vaccine every year. With Covid these uncertainties are much worse. Worse with our shorter experience, and worse with current death rates vs Influenza.
So in a year we may find a more general recommendation for an annual booster. And possibly a more definite and strong recommendation for the elderly and high medical risks. Or we may still be in the multiple booster phase for the high risks. The virus, its mutation this coming year and the resultant medical effects will dictate that. We can all hope that the endemic phase moves more toward the common cold than Influenza. But it is too soon to tell.
Well, you can choose not to get vaccinated. Then, when you get really sick, don't apply for any public assistance if you are debilitated and can't work etc.
That's fine, so long as I can deny you medical aid for being fat and/or smoking, and/or drinking alcohol, and/or engaging in high risk activity.
You really have to ask, why is the governemnt gone rabid when it comes to covid vaccines??
what do they know that we don't
Never happened with the polio vaccine, no one lost their job.
Science is a tool, public opinion can and does trump science, as interpreted by the government and its cronies who are subject to government review.
Science provides options not mandates.
Brush your teeth everyday, eat 5 different fruits and vegetables each day, smoke joints or ciggys, wear your seat belt, drink too much, own a firearm, eat raw fish??????
