There is a new formulation of the Covid-19 vaccine coming out soon. It should be available in September and could be available as early as August. The CDC has recommended that everyone 6 months and older receive this vaccine when it’s out.

Since we are so close to the release of the new vaccine, I think it’s reasonable to wait for the new formulation. This one should more closely target the variants currently circulating and, ideally, be a better match for the strains expected to be dominant in the fall and winter.

People should keep in mind that the primary purpose of the vaccine is to reduce the chance of severe illness

I'll pass and not only pass on it, I didn't take it the 1st go around and wasn't necessary.. If you can't see the amount of people dropping like flies after taking it and at such a young age, I don't know what to say?? If this is there way of trying to distract the 2024 Election because Trump's winning it, then good luck on this

Why should we be worried about a virus with a 99.9% survival rate?

According to Zionist CNN we should!

But I thought everyone who followed The Science™ was at their 8th or 10th shot and should be completely and totally covered?

When did you stop thinking?

I heard he was only at his fifth shot.

Who knew Biden was a science-denier.

What does that mean, "covid-19's back"? When did it ever go away? How could it go away, especially when it has animal reservoirs?

In the spring of 2020, when my daughter asked me when covid would go away, I told her it never would go away, but that it would mutate into a nuisance bug and become just another of the circulating corona viruses that cause the common cold. History tells us there was no other possible outcome, so why do these scientifically illiterate types express shock over basic virology?

Imagine going to a mechanic and he tells you, "there's a 99.9% chance nothing's going to go wrong with your car but I recommend you let me pour this substance into your engine, even though it might cause a catestrophic failure."
