About time. The CDC got this wrong in so many ways That that their credibility has been permanently damaged.
The notion that "The vaccine works for some people but not others" is a faulty one. When people who are vaccinated don't get Covid, or get Covid but recover (like most do), they will often credit the vaccine. We've been seeing that with flu shots for years. I've never had a Covid or Flu vaccine. My only flu was 40 years ago. If I did believe in flu shots & got one every year, I might credit them for not getting the flu, but I'd be mistaken; my immunity came from getting the flu once. I may have had Covid in the past & passed it off as a cold & recovered.I am still waiting on the answer to my original questions.
“Why does the vaccine work for some people but not others?” ‘Why did vaccinated people die?”
And most of all, “Why didn’t they keep working on a vaccine that was even more effective. but safer than the initial vaccine?” People were still getting sick and dying, so why didn’t the pharmaceutical companies keep working on a better vaccine?
A typical vaccine development timeline takes 5 to 10 years, and sometimes longer, to assess whether the vaccine is safe and efficacious in clinical trials, complete the regulatory approval processes, and manufacture sufficient quantity of vaccine doses for widespread distribution.They don't need to spend more money working on a safer or more-effective vaccine because they're profiting enough with the ones they're using now. That's why the exaggeration about the mortality & the fear campaign were so important.
That is mostly true. But at the very least, the vaccine has proven to be semi-effective. Even though drug companies have made billions from the vaccine, why wouldn't they want a safe and 98% proven effective vaccine like polio? The 30-40% that hasn't taken the jab would be more likely to do so if they knew the results would be more effective, like the Polio Vaccine. The Feds should have made the drug companies stay on the vaccine to make a better effective dose. Not just to produce one that is "good enough."
I missed the polio era, but still was vaccinated for it when I started school because my district had not yet lifted the no need to do so mandate as of that time. I believe some school districts today still require polio protection for new students, but there is NO federal mandate.
I have had 2 friends die from covid. My one friend's wife, who was not even allowed to be with her husband while he was dying was a mess for several months after his death. They told her that the patient in most cases actually suffocates and that has to be a slow agonizing death.
not only sad but also terrifying to me that so many did not question the many inconsistencies and half truths they were using....... What was a real eye opener was the CEO of Pfizer ........It was an interesting experience to watch. For 2 years it seems that everyone became some sort of human sheep. They were told what to do, how to do it and what would happen if they didn't. Where I live there are still a lot of these sheep still around. They haven't all gone away. They believe and live by what the TV tells them to do. They are totally unable to think for themselves. Sad, really!
The politicians made it an incentive to list as COVID and the medical community used billing codes so everything was covid to cash in....The politicians wanted the cause listed as COVID, and the health community complied.
What? Let me think about this, let me throughly digest it, let me reach an understanding of this statement. Yup. I got it. In all of my 76 years of life I have heard many a nutty statement; but this is the nuttiest. It takes the cake.Some people who haven't accomplished much use this opportunity to show that "I'm better 'n you 'cuz I'm vaccinated."![]()
Congratulations. It only took you 3 months to "throughly digest it?" Who's the nut?What? Let me think about this, let me throughly digest it, let me reach an understanding of this statement. Yup. I got it. In all of my 76 years of life I have heard many a nutty statement; but this is the nuttiest. It takes the cake.. There you go @win231, you are a winner

Suggestion: Cut back a little. Binge drinking is really hard on your liver. And it ain't doing your brain any favors, either.You. I’ve haven’t even been back to the forum for three months. But I see you are still obsessed about vaccines. Have another slice

I actually think hand washing is really important to both not getting Covid or the flu.There is an uptick in Covid here, especially among children, ever since school commenced in September.
So many cases that serious elective surgeries are being postponed.
Masking protocols need to be put into place again, particularly on transit and in schools.
LOL - Those shields are hilarious. They let your hand in, but not Covid viruses......Periodically, when entering establishments with plexiglass 'shields' (open at the bottom/sides), I ask how they trained 'those little Covids' not to go under or around them.
absolutely---- yet there are the koolaid drinkers.....nextThere will be still some push back upset that the CDC is recognizing the inevitable ......
the fear machine did a big job on many and simply put have created division and hard feelings between some people that is not going away after they decide to try and wind down the fear machine.
I think the long term damage will plague us for many years
