CDC Director Poised to Recommend Annual COVID-19 Shots
2023-07-31
[Epoch Times] The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is tracking toward recommending that Americans get an annual COVID-19 vaccine, the agency's new director says.

Dr. Mandy Cohen, who recently replaced Dr. Rochelle Walensky, says that the new CDC recommendation is expected to be finalized and announced in September.

"We’re just on the precipice of that, so I don’t want to get ahead of where our scientists are here and doing that evaluation work, but yes we anticipate that COVID will become similar to flu shots, where it is going to be you get your annual flu shot and you get your annual COVID shot," Dr. Cohen told Spectrum News.

"We’re not quite there yet, but stay tuned. I think within the next couple of weeks, month we’re going to hear more from our experts on COVID shots."

The director, a strong proponent of the vaccines, didn't offer any safety or efficacy data or any other details but said she worries "about parents not vaccinating kids" against COVID-19 and other viruses.
And other viruses.

#25  They are going to put people off flu vaccine. But that's the problem with crying wolf. When the wolf comes, nobody believes you.

Of course, that may be part of the plan too.

#24  HELL NO. Anyone recommending this needs to surive a year of DAILY 'boosters' at 10x the dose to prove it's safe. Do that I 'might' consider it after testing for 50 more years. Fauci should get boosters every hour until he's immune:p

#23  This is a terrible idea. Traditional flu shots appear to be marginally effective but if you add the ineffective COVID 19 to the list most people will just avoid all annually recommended seasonal vaccines.

But then again maybe they know this?

#22  Cases, you say?

All of the cases May, June, and July total some 880,000 - the same number of new cases as a single day - January 20, 2022.

Same time period - 9,972 deaths in three months, about the same as two days in February, 2021.

I expect that would be anNUal.

#17  Pubs should automatically tie strengthening of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to any legislation involving lawsuit immunity for Big Pharma.

Ever. Single. Time.

#16  They're already shielded from lawsuits.

If they withheld pertinent information, that could nullify the immunity.

#15  The vaccine gave me shingles and greatly increases the chance of myocarditis

#14  The Emergency Provision got them contracts without human testing or most of the usual requirements. Getting it on the kids list without the usual testing prevents the roll back into a position when they need to do the testing that they never did. It cements the scam.
If a parent balks on the kids shot, I think they will quietly back away. I don’t think they want this to be a polarizing issue that ends up in court with discovery.

#11  They will back down from a challenge, but they will make money with it being on the kids list. Most people will just have the default course given. With it being on the mandatory kids list, the pharma companies remain shielded from lawsuits for kids that have reactions.

#10  I may have to raise bail money for my son and daughter in law if they try to force this on my grandkids.

For that matter I might have to put some aside for myself.

#9  I would take advice from Webmd before the CDC.

#8  People with kids would be a huge class action. But Im sure SCROTUS would determine parents don't have "standing" in matters of their children's health.

#7  Mandatory for kids is also revenue.

#5  Whatever they recommend will become mandatory for school kids. It’s population control.

I've already 'heard' and seen quite enough.
