Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year.
As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor.

Too many examples pour out daily

The spike protein has allies in the highest places. Karma can’t catch up with them soon enough.
Especially since much of RFK, Jr.'s popularity and lavish donations to his Children's Health Defense grew out of the covid-19 pandemic and the misinformation regarding mRNA vaccines.
Now a non-mRNA alternative is being removed, an opening gambit for banning more vaccines.

Also, there heve been A LOT of them sick or very sick (eg pneumonia) the last year. Kids can't get Covid vaccine here as well.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is obviously a lying sack of shit and Bill Cassidy is the biggest dupe ever.
He has no idea how anything works.
When the doctors all realize this is actually happening, hopefully there will be hell to pay?
Not having a flu shot batshit insanity
The goal is to cull the population and ensure enough Healthcare spending is cut to allow for tax cuts for the wealthy. Cassidy not only supports this, it's the reason he ran for office.
What a bunch of A-holes
These people want all of us dead.
I credit @novavax.bsky.social and our @flomask.bsky.social respirators.
I also highly recommend BLIS K12 Streptococcus Salivarius lozenges every night.

Limit vaccines, confuse people about what vaccines are available, etc.
Make COVID great again?

The Handmaid's Tale is going to look like The Sound Of Music before they're done
Really POed that Trump politicized this disease and turned his cult against disease prevention.
And RFK Jr can eat shit, the human melanoma.
Please, I really need an updated vaccine, especially since everybody else is pretending that covid has gone away.
We’ve got to make sure there are enough doubts about vaccine safety to erode public confidence.🙄
But a huge number of people in similar situations couldn’t afford the OOP.
This is a steppingstone to pulling vaccines off the market altogether.
But it infuriates me that my 61-year-old husband won't qualify. :/
Fucking fascist twats.
I'm not planning to be here for it, if I am able to arrange it

That last point, however, isn’t the case for most people in my income bracket or below.
Worse, I think RFK will ban all Covid vax. That’s just evil.
I have long COVID but even that doesn't qualify you for the vaccine. Luckily, I am in the position where I can afford to pay to get it privately. Many are not.
Follow the money! The bribes!

(I say that as someone who has gotten multiple boosters…)
ICER of flu shots is somewhere under $100k, for comparison.
I have no expertise in this field so I may be missing something, of course.
But for those of us in late middle age and still working in settings with heavy exposures, preventing even moderate illness is invaluable. Cost-benefit analyses should capture this!
I’m queasy on my own behalf tonight. But I’m also aware that many relatively healthy people who simply hope to reduce their own risk to protect those around them. 😿
I’m so sorry that everyone north of the 49th is getting bullied by our bully in chief. Thank you for sharing your insights!

Novavax has kept me safe for two solid years. No more. 😾😿
Not to be glib, but: many such cases. 😢
I’m aware that there’s less virus circulating. But I’m still furious at losing this crucial option.
I have autoimmune disorders, and there's some preservative or adjuvant (idk which, or exactly what it is) in the mRNAs that sets 'em off.
But Novavax doesn't. I have no side effects from it whatsoever.
At least, that’s how I would describe my goofy immune system.
I’m so furious.
So that may help…

It'll be interesting to see whether or not that works in September (next due), now there are new rules.
Ideally, the thinking should come before the decision.
Meanwhile WHO is saying last year's Covid vax strains are a good enough choice for most of us.
I’m hate that it has come to this but we have to get creative in protecting ourselves.
There are people who can’t tolerate the mRNA vax and there’s significant evidence that Novavax offers superior protection.
So if it gets so bad in the States that you have to come here for your flu shot, you're SOL if you want Nova too.
Saying that its not being promoted, uncleae it is available and who should be vaccinated.
Nevertheless, with your tone no wonder people end up avoiding vaccines.
every one of us.
🤔
At this point I don't see how I can NOT believe that they literally want us all to be sick and impoverished.
though…
thinking, yearly Fall
travel to Canada 😖
my Canadian friends got vaccinated without issues?
Canada bought and distributed the older Novavax formulas.
JN.1 wasn't distributed here.
I’m posting because I’m too nauseated to go to bed after reading this 🤢
*None* of us had any side effects.
I'd also like to recommend @flomask.bsky.social respirators.
And thank you for sharing good info to help protect others.
8647 the orange clown
Trump & the broligarchs want us to die unless we are billionaires or exceptionally productive drones.
The eugenicists want to kill off the defective.
The tech bros want to kill off the parasite class.
They are all working toward the same goal right now: getting rid of everyone but themselves. Eventually they’ll start on each other.
let's put a hard line on this gerontocracy shit

I know you’re not trying to brightside this. But older age alone is already a huge risk factor.
I’m 61. Won’t qualify. I’m scared.
But mostly, federal policy shapes vax insurance coverage. That’s awful for poor ppl.
But I can see how my own predicament will be 1000x worse for more vulnerable ppl even if the Trumpists don’t cut off other vaccines.
Republicans think being free is forcing everyone else to live by their rules.
That I can't get it period?
Or that it just won't be paid for through the ACA or my insurance?
In the future, advances in vaccine technology may make it possible. But not yet.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33615285/
this is horrifying.
I had far fewer side effects on Novovax. Now that asshole RFK Jr is leaving me with the choice of mRNA or nothing. 😡🤬🤬
The headline appears to be intentionally anodyne and weasely. Anyone going off the headline alone would be like, “Oh, great! Novavax has been approved!” Not sure what the editors are thinking.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33615285/
“I think the goal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is to make vaccines less available, more expensive and more feared,” Dr. Offit said. “His goal is to tear away at the vaccine infrastructure, because he believes that vaccines are not beneficial and are only harmful.”
To these freaks, you were supposed to die at 14 from polio like God intended.
If we make enough noise, they'll back down!!
Call your reps! Call through media! Write letters to the editor of your local paper!!!
My gut as a health worker has remained:
RFK Jr and DJT are admin top pickins to have unannounced Walter Reed stay.

He should resign in shame.
go pee party grift men want the public to die off if they are “inferior” ie vulnerable
“herd immunity” means “wheat from chaff”
