We're not going to be able to get covid vaccines this year, are we?
We're not going to be able to get covid vaccines this year, are we?
Depends, how much money you got?
I bet we will
Saw this a few days ago. We shall see.
Elizabeth Jacobs @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social is a fantastic source of healthcare data and information👍 I would highly recommend anyone not following her to do so.
I already got mine
I got mine couple months ago. We're suppost to get them every few months (I think the pre-Trump CDC said every 2-4. I've also been told that by pharmacists). If you haven't gotten one yet this year I'd recommend getting one now while you still can.
I just did calendar math based on what you've said here. Thank you oodles.
*ever again, in the United States I'm hoping medical tourism can be a thing for vax, but also --- airline industry is going up in flames, sometimes literally? Ugh.
🚗
That's a better option for me and my fam, but... being able to return across the border is another issue. Even as legal US citizens. 😑 sigh.
Oh, shit, that's right.
My guess is there will be a vaccine, because big pharma wants to keep making profits, but it won’t be covered by insurance and will be very expensive so only rich people can get it. This will have the double benefit of protecting profits and helping to kill the poors.
They already refused to give it to my 61 y/o brother
Getting the flu and COVID vaccines are probably questionable this year, and definitely won't happen next year. These vaccines may not be available overseas either because the world has relied so long on US funding, expertise, etc, and can't make up the slack quickly.
I dunno. Alot of pharma is in the eu. They should be able to. Whether the us has access and whether our stellar customer centric health insurance pays for it is another story.
I was denied twice at Walgreens. I am 65.
Moderna will have a sparkling brand new vaccine this autumn that should be very effective against the newer variants running around. The thing is that I don't know what will change between now and then.
My doctor told me to get one before September. After that, they may be limited to the elderly and people with other comorbidity factors.
That's why I stocked up on masks.
We'll be lucky if we don't get government-funded mandatory "covid parties" every time a kid comes down with it.
Requested mine at my check up last month 🫡
Call your doctor and see if they have them available. Once they run out, it doesn't look likely. Same with flu shots.
No. That’s why I’m getting as many vaccines as I can while I can. Hell, I’m gonna try & convince my doctor to get me a small pox vaccine at this point. Fuck it.
I know that @novavax.bsky.social was approved before RFK Jr began trashing the place.
Or flu shots.
We'll be lucky if we can keep our health insurance 'till the end of the year.
A good defense is the best offense: Keep masking up indoors & in crowds.
I’m in Canada so don’t know about vaccines in US.
Sadly I don’t think so
RFK Jr and GOP want as many seniors to die as possible so they can more easily kill Medicare and Social Security.
Not likely, It's harder now to even get necessary vaccines for those with compromised immune systems.
My doc told me to grab as many vaccines as you can from Covid to flu when they roll out this fall and then after that it’s up in the air what to do 🫤
I’m worried we may not get *ANY* seasonal vaccines for the next 4 years at least.
As one of the only people I see still masking, & being caregiver to my immunocompromised disabled mother, the carelessness by this administration & people in general is fuckin infuriating.
I’m in the same boat you are and it’s so maddening! 🤬
Masks don't work vs a virus. They are too small. Ivermectin cures covid in 3 hours.
Nobody gives a fuck about your right wing bullshit. Go fuck yourself.
I am trying to help you. If you or your mother gets covid or the flue you want to get rid of it. I use ivermectin loads. I took it every day for 8 weeks and it cured my arthritis. No side effects. It is better for your wrong ideas to die than you die.
Please go eat your ivermectin alone and fuck off
Do you enjoy being a hate filled bigot?
lol that’s rich coming from someone like u
"some one like you" Just can't deal with honest honourable people who do truth rather than following the corporate line like a good little fascist. To be a functional citizen of a democracy you need to think for your self.
None of u fucks think for yourself. Your thought process is whatever that big fat Cheeto says. Again, FUCK OFF!
No. You're a fucking idiot, & nobody wants to listen to your fuckin conspiracy theorist bullshit. You're not trying to help anyone, you're spreading lies like you right wing fuck ups always do. So like I said before, go fuck yourself.
I personally have used ivermectin often. I used to get every cold going twice. I have not had a cold since discovering IV. Despite your hate filled language I want you to live and your mother to live. It is cheap and something like safer than drinking a glass of water.
Fuck off.
There has been a massive campaign by the money milking Pharma industry to get you to do social Fascism. You are trying to use intimidation, social intimidation, to shut down ideas you don't like to support the corporations. This is likely to get you killed by disease that can easily be stopped.
I'm not intimidating anything, you're full of shit. Take your narcissistic need to have the last word & your self entitled holier than thou attitude & fuck off. I'm done with you. Nobody wants you here.
Actually I am a teacher and my husband is a funeral director and they DO work….but you do you boo
So far all the studies show that the masks do nothing for the first 2 hours and after that they are positively dangerous. Do you need me to link to some of them? Or are you already far too clever being a teacher???
I got mine in May bc I wasn't certain nutjob jr is going to let us have them. I'm concerned about an updated flu shot vaccine too.
I got boosted on 7/5. Still hoping for the roll out in the fall for Novavax.
From an *American* pharmacology lab? Why would you *want* to? With Trump in charge it's as likely to be live active polio virus as it is to be a vaccination for *anything*.
1.3 million Americans dead, from a 'it will disappear' NOVEL VIRUS, & counting
People need to sue!!! People need to file a class action suit ego lost their family the first time and anyone who dies from covid, fl, measles in upcoming years need to sue. The Biden’s, the Obama’s and the Clintons need to sue. The right are fighting in courts now it’s our turn
We will be lucky if they put out flu shots
Of course you’re not! How do you make America ‘more healthy’? You weed out the ‘unhealthy’ of course! The old, the disabled, the chronically sick, the mentally ill…all collateral damage on the road to MAHA. And with the money saved we can give oligarchs even bigger tax cuts…hoorah! 🙄
no more covid vaccines means creation of even more unhealthy people, so all they're really doing is shrinking the American population to eventual unsustainable levels.
Do you really think they care? They will burn the system down in their short term pursuit of as much wealth as possible. They will be immensely rich and powerful in their lifetime and give no fucks as to what comes later!
I’ll be driving over to Canada if I have to.
Oh - good idea. I’m within driving distance
Same
I'm in California, but I just went to my local CVS and asked about them. We're going to get our updated vaccine this week. www.cvs.com/immunization...
I just got mine a few weeks ago. If you are eligible, but it feels early, go get it anyway.
Also, don’t know your insurance, but mine still paid for it.
I got mine early just in case
Yes, you will but many people won’t get it, regardless. Now, who will pay is the real open question.
And I want mine!
My son’s girlfriend’s father has covid and is extremely sick.
coughs, ack, I don't suppose we will.
Not unless you’re able to go to Canada and come back safely.
There’s a new strain out there that’s very contagious, too. Trump hates Americans. Where is all the congressional approved funding for the things trump has canceled going? In his fucking pocket and his rich friend’s pocket.
Not sure. I'd try going to a pharmacy and telling them you have a pre-existing condition - if I was under 65. Over 65 you should be good. And get in as soon as they announce the new vaccine is available. Should be in August or Sept.
We’ll be lucky if we get an updated flu vaccine this year 🫠
I asked my doc about getting them and she didn't seem worried about them being available. Just a "yeah pop in any time once we get them" which probably isn't the best metric but it's not nothing
My vaccination location of preference (ayshin) told me to just drop on in.
