Oh the CDC said this?
What do doctors and scientists in respectable EU nations say?
EDIT: Sorry, this is poop river diver Kennedy saying this, not the CDC. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe I have a brain worm.
No the CDC did not say this. RFK Jr did, I'm not going to be surprised when the CDC panel has different recommendations. Which shouldn't really happen with the HHS secretary since the CDC falls under the HHS but we haven't had someone as wildly unqualified as RFK Jr in that position (at least not that I know of) so normally the CDC and HHS leadership are in lockstep.
You're right. I guess I read "Kennedy" and interpreted "CDC."
I hope someone inside has the guts to speak out.
I wouldn't say I'm right and you're wrong per se just that I don't think the rest of the agencies/people in the HHS necessarily signed off on or agree with RFK.
You're right though that the person who is head of the organization (Health and Human Services) the CDC belongs to did say that stuff, which is scary because it gives it credence.
I'm just trying to frame it ... more ... positively? Or at least trying to hush the part of me yelling RED ALERT 😕
Germany's RKI doesn't recommend the vaccine for anyone below 60 except people at risk or working in medical fields, same with the flu vaccine.
Our public health insurances do not cover non-recommended vaccines as the board members are personally held liable if they cover what isn't necessary or economical. Not if they cover too little though.
As such, only a small minority of Germans have received COVID boosters since ~2022.
That’s interesting to know. Thanks!
Much as I hate to sound like I'm defending Kennedy... The WHO doesn't recommend routine vaccination for healthy adults under 50 beyond the first dose.
