      Time to open up a clinic right on the border!

      Actually a vaccination clinic should be put in that library that straddles the border. That would be pretty neat.

        They blocked access to it from Canada. It’s still halfway in Canadian land but no Canadian can go in.

    Annual COVID-19 shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved under a major new policy shift unveiled Tuesday by the Trump administration.

    Top officials for the Food and Drug Administration laid out new requirements for yearly updates to COVID shots, saying they’d continue to use a streamlined approach that would make vaccines available to adults 65 and older as well as children and younger adults with at least one health problem that puts them at higher risk.

    The vast majority of people under 65 years of age are not at risk of becoming severely ill.

      Tell that to my father-in-law who came hours away from dying, and myself who had blood counts so low, they thought I was dying from cancer.

      The current strain may not be as deadly, but the next version could absolutely be worse. This removes the ability protect against those changes in the future.

        That was the Danish health system telling it. Doctors there can still prescribe covid vaccines for at risk under 65s.

          The point is, we weren’t/aren’t considered high risk.

        That is true for perfect vaccines (like measles) where mutation is low and transmission is halted.

          What tiktok idiot did you get that gem from?

          EVERY case prevented stops a transmission; that’s a tautology. EVERY case prevented is one less chance to mutate.
