Rush to Get the New COVID-19 Booster

Rush to Get the New COVID-19 Booster

Article suggests getting vax right away since CDC might withdraw approval on Sept. 18:

Normally, I’d say get both the flu and COVID-19 shots sometime early in October, so immunity would peak in the middle of winter. Right now, mid-September, is a bit early. Why the rush?

Because Kennedy and his new ACIP crew, packed with unqualified people, are forming up to withdraw the vaccinations completely. The WaPo [1] and Ars Technica [2] report:

Trump health officials plan to link coronavirus vaccines to the deaths of 25 children as they consider limiting which Americans should get the shots, according to four people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe confidential information.

They apparently plan to do this at the 2025-Sep-18 meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Kennedy recently fired the ACIP members, replacing them with unqualified people more to his liking. They will have in their power to revoke recommendations and insurance coverage for the vaccines, as well as ask the FDA to ban the medications altogether.
