If the pneumonia that caused death was a complication of COVID, then COVID was the cause of death; they wouldn't have died if they hadn't gotten COVID.

How many cases of pneumonia that resulted in death were caused by Covid?

Oh my gawd

"Months"?? The study says 81% still have symptoms after a year. In my case it's been 5+ years. And we know less that 10% of pwME recovery, and neuro immune long COVID effectively is COVID induced ME. Please stop minimising this patient group.

Months? If only. First wavers are going on six years of illness, with no help in sight.

Not good. Wake up people.

Well in that case I’m headed towards heart disease. I’ve never been a heavy smoker, but have probably smoked enough to do damage.

"Early analysis shows that this season’s flu shots offer some protection against being hospitalized with this variant, especially for kids."

How terribly sad.

Here’s how I feel: I let my Tdap lapse last year and caught whooping cough. I coughed for six months, had pleurisy, and couldn’t move. Get vaccinated.

Knowing how they feel is the first step in correcting the reason for refusal. It absolutely is not irrelevant.

how people FEEL about vaccines should be irrelevant. the needs of the many, the science works.

Of course they weren't political. We'd all seen the benefits. Then the kids grew up who had never seen the diseases ...

Pandemics kill people, all politics and feelings aside.

As an uninsured American, I would absolutely love to be vaccinated and protected this, and every, year. It is unfortunate that the covid vaccine is $250+, the flu vaccine is between $75-$127 (egg free and senior doses cost even more 😡wtf) for private pay people.

“There’s been a lot of attention on really non-issues,” like vaccine ingredients and separating shots, that “I think, at the best, left people confused but possibly at the worst have left people worried about getting vaccinated,” she added. #VaccinesWork

Health sciences are not political. People are.
