Leading US medical groups are urging people to get updated flu and Covid-19 vaccinations this fall, banding together on Wednesday to issue shot guidelines – and highlight the science behind them – saying they hope to ease confusion caused by the Trump administration’s changing advice.

    Doing the opposite of what ever trump says is pretty solid advice for anything.

    I don’t live in the US but it must be hard seeing that there are groups that are anti-vaccines who will make those decisions for their children who inevitably will get sick, and those who are sensible have the full knowledge that this was easily avoidable because prior to vaccinations there was widespread death.

    Also not uniquely a US problem but clearly at the forefront of online media.

    My body is shit. No way I trust my immune system to handle the flu and Covid. Thanks for the reminder to get my shots.

      I did, twice, despite being vaccinated. The first time was mild, but the second time fucked me up for over a year. Would not recommend.

      I’m assuming you forgot to add that’s the reason why you’re going to get vaccinated.

      I think you aren’t doing it right. I seem to remember that the bleach goes into the “in” hole.

    I know my state has its own advisories and require insurance to cover them. At least for now. Who knows if the elections literally go south.

      They’re working toward a total ban on all vaccines.

    This would explain the cold call from CVS asking when I wanted to schedule my flu, COVID, and hep b vaccines.

    I work at a call center and I wear a mask when I’m in office and haven’t missed a flu or COVID shot yet. I’ve never had COVID and haven’t been sick since at least 2019.

    And meanwhile, in a slightly less benighted part of the world, our NHS surgery sends out an SMS message containing a booking link for a combo flu and covid shot. It’s free.

    But the quacks are in charge of the US government’s medical infrastructure, and RFK Jr is expending more effort trying to cover up measles deaths than doing anything that might save American lifes.
