The Biden administration plans to urge all Americans to get a booster shot for the coronavirus this autumn to counter a new wave of infections, a White House official said on Sunday.
The official said that while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are reporting an increase in infections and hospital admissions from the virus, overall levels remain low.
On Thursday, Moderna (MRNA.O) said initial data showed its updated COVID-19 vaccine is effective against the “Eris” and “Fornax” subvariants in humans.
Moderna and other COVID-19 vaccine makers Novavax (NVAX.O), Pfizer (PFE.N) and German partner BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE) have created versions of their shots aimed at the XBB.1.5 subvariant.
Pending approval from health regulators in the United States and Europe, the companies expect the updated shots to be available in the coming weeks for the autumn vaccination season.
“We will be encouraging all Americans to get those boosters in addition to flu shots and RSV shots,” the official said, referring to the Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
The risk for heart attack due to one of the chemicals in them. I have had 2 heart attacks in 2021, one I actually died on the table for 2 minutes, twice. my cardiologist said if I took the mRNA vaccine it would kill me. So here I am. I have no problem with people taking the vaccine or not, their body their choice. But, IMHO, if they really put the time into it, they could program the vaccines to literally kill the virus instead of just making the symptoms lighter. WE have the tech, the problem is big pharma knows if they actually did the right thing they would lose money.
Ain’t capitalism great? Don’t make a cure, just make a band-aide so you can make more money.
That’s not how vaccines work. You don’t “program” them. For example the Covid mRNA vaccine is only in your body for literally days (at most). At max a week later it’s fully gone, no more trace of the actual vaccine.
It just tricks your own cells into creating harmless proteins that look similar to the actual virus, so your anti-bodies learn how to attach to them and eliminate them. They learn, they reproduce and remember. When the actual virus gets into your body your body just goes “Ah, I know that stuff already, I know what to do.” instead of not even realizing there’s a virus at first and then frantically trying to find a solution to the intruder (which is based on random chance pretty much, if your body is too slow the virus has too much time to spread, either fucking you up or even killing you if your immune system isn’t up to speed).
This video is really cool in regards to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmpuerlbJu0
i was using the term program for lack of a better way to put it. I will watch the video though, I’m always interested in learning new things
No offence intended. But if a chemical could kill me in a microscopic dose I’d probably want to share the name of said chemical. Which chemical will kill you? And how much of it is in a typical vaccination?
Or are you just taking us for a story-telling ride?
No story, honestly I don’t remember the name of it, I’ve had so much going on in the last couple years I’m lucky to remember it my birthday today.
I don’t think it’s one in the typical vaccinations since I can take the flu shot with no problems as well as my pneumonia shot very 5 years.
One thing I don’t do is tell fables, I’m not the Bible after all.
No, you just keep leaving out key details while fear mongering.

Fuck you. I’m not fear mongering. I made my comment if you don’t want to believe it that is your choice. I’m not going to hold anyone hand when telling the truth never have never will. For example the Bible is a bunch of fairy tales and trump is a traitorous son of a bitch.
Good day.
Listen so I believe that you believe you heard something, and I fully get your paranoia. It can’t be fun going thru what you went thru. Would you be against the idea of your cardiologist putting their recommendation in writing? Explicitly saying “if you get the vaccine you will die from it because of such and such chemical”. It really shouldn’t take that long and let’s say somehow someway your doc misspoke or you misheard it, even if it is a 1 in a billion chance, wouldn’t it be better to be sure?
No, I don’t expect you to share this with me or anyone else. Just have it for your own good.
I agree with you but after my second heart attack, he passed away from one. How’s that for irony?
Anyway I’m not really worried about it. The doctors don’t ask about them anymore anyway.
I see. Do you have a new cardiologist assigned to you? Can he/she review the medical notes from the previous one?
Again, I do believe you believe what you are saying.
I do, I will talk to her at my next appointment. Which is in 3 months
Why not just get one of the non-mRNA covid vaccines?
At this point I figure why bother? Covid isn’t going to go away. It’s a part of life now. Also like I said I’ve had it twice and it wasn’t debilitating to me. To me, I feel like it isn’t worth the cost to my insurance provider.
This is strictly my call. Besides it’s not like it’s going away just because I take the vaccine. Not to mention the possibility they accidentally administer the wrong one. Not saying this will happen, but nobody is infallible.
Covid not going away is a reason to get the booster, not avoid it.
But in your specific case, with your previous reactions, definitely do what makes sense for you.
You’re right. Everyone that is vaccinated should take the booster and those without underlying health issues, that could make it dangerous to take the vaccine, should be vaccinated. Not only for themselves, but for their loved ones and those they are around on a daily basis.
This is the power of propoganda. You can tell someone you literally died and they’ll still tell you do it again. I’m sorry you had to go thru that and hope you never have to again.
No one is telling him to do it again. We are just wondering what connection there is between having heart attacks and the vaccines. There’s a slight risk of myocarditis from the vaccine (many vaccines have the same risk). It seems a bit of a stretch to recommend against the vaccine even then though. The risk of myocarditis is much higher when infected VS vaccinated. OP is rolling the dice that they will never get infected which… Is possible but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Trust me, I’m doing everything possible to not have another one. I may not be in perfect health, but heart attacks are one of the scariest things I’ve ever dealt with. Sometimes you gotta hate the human body for the hell it puts you through.
