    doesn’t really matter what the CDC thinks, I think most doctors are still going to recommend it, because most of them aren’t fucking idiots.

      Does having a wider population sharing the disease lead to mutation and weakening of the efficacy of the vaccine for the people who get it?

        that would be a question you would need to ask an actual scientist.

      But you gotta pay out of pocket because insurance won’t pay

        well I don’t think they can stop people from getting the shot unless the FDA gets involved and bans it. and idk how well that would go over since it’s been in use for decades and there’s no evidence it’s dangerous. it would almost certainly face some lawsuits, and he hasn’t been doing well in lawsuits lately. I don’t think one like that would go well for him either since it’s pretty obvious they oppose vaccines based on political ideology and not science.

          Kind of what I was hoping, but never know with this type of nonsense

      Yes. But it still matters, because we’re talking statistics here, and also insurance is less likely to cover it now.

      And also, that guy won’t stop. You think he’s satisfied with this alone? No way. It will get worse.

        The US going down the Russia path: “Surely it can’t be worse?” - “And then it got worse…”

    So, basically, for best health, just do the opposite of what the CDC recommends.

      Americans need to start looking to (blue) state agencies, professional medical organizations or even foreign health ministries for guidance on vaccines and health issues.
