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.
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.
