    Please, find me a quote on that page that suggests lower efficacy for those under 65.

    I have no idea how you interpreted what I wrote to mean that.

    When I mentioned last autumn’s doses no longer being effective, I was simply referring to the fact that protection from these vaccines drops drastically over time. All the data I’ve seen shows it to be a small fraction of what it once was by the time 6 months have passed. I am not suggesting that this is somehow different for people of a certain age.

    Edit: Data from one such study. That one would have been easy for you to find, had you actually tried, since it was circulated by various medical research outlets and reported by Time Magazine: “After six months, the overall effectiveness of the vaccines dropped further to 14%, and to 9% after nine months.”

    Pharmacies do not have a right to refuse unless supply is constrained and you are not part of the priority group. You were either duped by the pharmacist, or they were low on supply at the time.

    The priority group is age 65+ or immunocompromised, as I have already stated. All the pharmacies I spoke to said that supply was short. As a result, doses are being denied, just as I said.

    Regardless, your information is incorrect, and you should stop spreading it.

    No, it isn’t, but your combative misinterpretation of my words is tiresome, and you should consider trying to understand rather than looking for a fight and slinging false accusations of misinformation. Goodbye.

      Now it’s “data that you’ve seen” not “multiple pharmacists?” Stop spreading misinformation.

      I’d gladly entertain a conversation regarding opinions if the topic wasn’t directly misinforming people on public health. This topic is not subjective to opinion. Either back up your claims with credible sources or stop commenting against the direction of the CDC.
