Flu Season: CDC Warns Of Low Vaccination Rates

[Into the Night]

Thankfully, Covid has morphed

Viruses can't mutate. They are not alive.

into a very contagious albeit much less virile virus.

There is no variant of a variant. It's either Covid19, or it isn't.

After getting all of the other boosters, I think I'll skip this one. It used to be easy to get them. I got mine at the local grocery store. Given my overall superhuman immune system, I'll be a test subject this time around.

Welcome...to the real world.

I don't even get colds when my grandchildren take their toys out of their mouths, and put them into mine. Then I find the next day that they have been sick.

Heh. Aren't kids great? At least with grandkids you can send 'em home with their parents!

Do you think that matters to the whole picture? About 28,000 Americans died of flu last year. If we eschew vaccinations, the numbers will grow. Flu os more dangerous when you are older. You should get the shots.

No one died of flu last year, Sybil. There was no lethal variant of influenza around.
Vaccinations do not prevent infection, Sybil.

We got our flu and covid shots.
They're fucking free.
Why wouldn't we?

TANSTAAFL. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!

You have a very strong immune system.

So? Almost everyone does!

Flu Season: CDC Warns Of Low Vaccination Rates​

November 25, 2024

With flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccination rates lagging across the U.S., the CDC is warning that it’s not too late for vulnerable populations - like older adults and young children - to protect themselves this winter.

Got my shot. I hate having the flu or being sick.

During the 2023-2024 influenza season, CDC estimates that influenza was associated with 40 million illnesses, 18 million medical visits, 470,000 hospitalizations, and 28,000 deaths1. For the 2022-2023 flu season, the overall burden of influenza was an estimated 31 million flu-related illnesses, 14 million flu-related medical visits, 360,000 flu-related hospitalizations, and 21,000 flu-related deaths2. The mortality rate for flu among Americans 65 and older was 26.6 per 100,000, more than three times higher than any other age group. In total, an estimated 15,399 Americans 65 and older died from the flu during the 2022-23 season, nearly 72% of all flu-related deaths3.

If you cut yourself on, or step on a rusty nail you should immediately get a tetanus shot. They're good for 10 years.

I pick up nails around my construction areas. I don't let 'em get rusty either. Tetanus is not a virus.

Let the MAGAts lie and die. I'm good with those who seek to self-clean the gene pool.

Not everyone is blessed with so much luck.

It isn't luck. It's the normal functioning of the immune system and the nature of the viruses being discussed here. NONE of them kill.

At least luck doesn't carry the difficulty of going to the doctors and waiting to get the shot.

Against what? Flu?? Not possible. There are literally thousands of variants in the influenza series.

Hope your luck holds out as you get into old age where it can actually be the difference between life and death.

Flu doesn't kill (with a couple of notable exceptions, if left untreated, and none are prevalent right now).

Your paranoia is YOUR problem.

The flu shot generally falls under the now common "There are very few studies because the people in charge dont want to know" but what studies we do have say that there is no health benefit to the flu shot....there is no reduction in hospitalizations or death and no improvement in overall health.

Be VERY careful when you post stuff like this.

You aren't a doctor, so you are passing off information you have no way of vetting or supporting. Which is why you didn't provide any.

But maybe your misinformation will result in someone not getting the vax and then dying.

Is that something you WANT to happen?

If not why do you feel you should post stuff like this that you have no way to understand or verify?

Instead listen to what the FUCKING EXPERTS SAY. Keep your uninformed death-shit posts to yourself until you can figure out how to verify the claims you make.

Seriously misinformed. I hope your posts don’t cause someone to die. But that’s on you.

Why do you want people to suffer?

It's an opinion. He doesn't have to vet his own opinion. He has already supported it.

But maybe your misinformation will result in someone not getting the vax and then dying.

Misinformation. Flu does not kill. Your fear mongering won't work. Your own paranoia is YOUR problem.

It doesn't happen, Twilight.

'Expert' worship. Void reference fallacy.

I've never had a flu shot in my life. Had the flu once about 29 years ago.

I have not made up my mind about how dangerous the flu shot is, but I would never take one.

I got one, one time . Ended up with a bad case of the flu. Never again.

Evolution in action. I willing to ride the odds: most MAGAts are elderly and stupid. Let them go unvaccinated even though I think most are lying chickenshits who actually do get their shots because they are afraid of dying.

QED.

Note that anymouse claims to be a medical professional. Anyone wanna guess he never washes his hands like Pete Hegseth? Anyone wanna guess on the real reason he fled Louisiana for Alaska? LOL
