Time for fall shots CDC is ready for anti-vaccine nonsense Is anybody still getting boosted?

So informal poll, who is still getting boosted, or who will take advantage of the new and improved vaccines....

It’s time for fall shots—and CDC is ready for anti-vaccine nonsense. Get ready for motivational interviewing to make sure you comply with the CDC's recommendations.

Even my Mom's doctors and surgeons who were most adamant, now don't even mention it.

Motivational interviewing. If the clinician gets the go-ahead to talk more about vaccines, then they should take a motivational interviewing approach, which aims to use a patient's goals, values, and motivations to negotiate a way to achieve them. A good way to start the conversation is with a scaled question, such as "On a scale of one to 10, how likely are you to get a COVID-19 vaccine?" Then, the clinician can explore both sides of whatever the number is. For this, the CDC warns against yes/no questions and instead recommends asking open-ended questions, such as "Why did you choose this number?" and "What would it take to get to a higher number?"

With fall approaching, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is gearing up efforts to promote three respiratory virus vaccines this year—annual flu shots, new RSV vaccines, and updated COVID-19 shots—and the agency's plans include confronting vaccine skepticism and hesitancy head-on.

In a presentation to clinicians on Tuesday, the CDC laid out its general recommendations for the use of those vaccines and ended with its four-step strategy to persuade patients swayed by anti-vaccine talking points to come back over to the side of science and public health.

The strategy, developed by the CDC in partnership with experts at the American Psychological Association, isn't new, but it has become increasingly needed as anti-vaccine misinformation and disinformation gained further ground during the pandemic. Even now, conservative politicians and officials continue to spread misinformation and skepticism about COVID-19 vaccines, leading to a sharp partisan divide in vaccination uptake and intentions.

Do you want to talk about masks also?
I am so done with the the whole works… vaccines, boosters, masks… No family get togethers, no singing in church, hell.. No church services in a parking lot even! But strip clubs? They can stay open!
Anyone remember those days???

But these shots really work and are new and improved, so if you were lucky enough to be one of the 98% that got COVID and survived you might not be so lucky in the future BG. Are you sure you want to risk it?

A dear friend of mine got the original vaccine because she's in her 70's and wanted to still be able to travel and enjoy life. Then she needed a booster to travel, which she got-and immediately developed a blood clot in her eye.
The eye specialist told her it was absolutely caused by the vaccine; he had many patients with the same problem after being 'boosted'.
She now has to go in for a shot in her eyeball every three months.

After being boosted she got covid anyway. She's very adamant that she will never take any vaccine for any reason again, and will not lock down.

Could we be facing another massive mandate where all healthcare workers, residents of senior facilities, teachers, LEO's, military, etc. will be force-vaccinated? Will the day come when children will be required to have the covid 'vaccine' in order to attend pre-school on? What about daycare workers-will they be on the list? Companies with 100 or more employees forced to vaccinate or fire their workers-again?

Quitting your job is not an option for people just barely hanging on in Biden's 'booming' economy, nor is home schooling an option for families where both parents work or single-parent families.

The only way out of this that I can think of is if the vast majority of the population says 'NO" and protest across the entire country until the government backs down-but that brings in the new WHO regulations to step in and take control.

We seem to be at a defining crossroads now; will freedom ring, or is it already too late?

People cant be that stupid surly? wonder how long (if at all) it will take to come to the UK.

This will be a good litmus test to see how many citizens have become mind-controlled dimwits.

You post make me laugh, my husband and I got the new one in August and most of the people I know and live around, we all survived with nothing else than a headache, fever and some got strep throat while others like me got congestion and a sinus infection.

To think that I was 4 weeks post op from breast cancer reconstruction, still covid was nothing.

CDC wants the senile duck in the white house to make the jabs mandatory because they are losing their profits from the last scaremongering they pull and nobody wants to hear Fauci talk crap anymore.

Unfortunately, I can see many still getting the shot.
I went into Kroger at lunch today. Hadn't been in there in a couple of weeks.

3 employees were wearing masks.

I certainly will not get the new shot. Never got the old one.

I didn’t get the old fake vaccine and I will not get new fake vaccine.

My allergies this year are the worst they’ve ever been in my life.
My doctor says that I am developing asthma, I was shocked to hear that at this stage of my life.
Started in the spring and felt good for most of the summer and now it’s back, wheezing at night and in the morning.
My inhaler has been working overtime.

If I get Covid again, it probably won’t be good.

Is anybody still getting "boosted"?

Why, that would imply that i received the initial shot in the first place.......

That's going to be a "no" from me, dog.

That'll be a hard pass thanks.

I am guessing you are mostly referring to covid vaccines. But there is also the regular flu, RSV, pneumonia, and if you are old enough shingles.. I have a Dr appt tomorrow it will be interesting to see what is being pushed.

In my village, you get the jabs and flu shots at the fire station. I got the flu shot and passed on the CV-19. I'll wait and see if there is a new outbreak of covid. I'll wear a mask if I'm around an obviously sick person, otherwise, bareface.

After the strikes over, my union may require the jab like last time.

Would the government and CDC lie about the need for and effectiveness of vaccines for 4 plus years?

Hospitalizations and deaths are creeping upwards

I can tell you that the new covid, did not affect the respiratory system of me or my husband, it was like a mild flu, but you never know how the body interacts with the virus or any virus, you could be at risk even with a mild cold or flu.

My family and I will not be getting the Vaccine, or any vaccine, that is pushed by the lying, cheating, scummy, Biden administration. No way, no how.
Keep you potassium iodide tablets handy, it looks like Slow Joe is trying his best to start a nuclear war with Russia.

Go Brandon!

It literally says flu, RSV and COVID in the post and the article

I will be getting the new booster as soon as it is available through my primary physician.

I received previous boosters as well.

I never contracted COVID, even though I lived in a high transmission area. Everyone I know who did not vaccinate did come down with the virus, at least once.

Most recovered. One died in the hospital while on a ventilator due to the virus (per his unvaccinated family).

One, my niece, caught the virus, was rushed to the hospital for insufficient oxygenation, recovered, and then developed a heart condition for which she might require surgery. She will be 30 years old next year.

Wanna bet ?


....and don't call me Shirley.


ETA - I never had any of the first shots, wore a mask or social distanced. Won't be participating in the 2nd experiment either.
