It’s no longer mandated, and I do not believe that I need them.
The CDC recommends covid and flu shots for every American over age 6 months.
Just saying.

The CDC.......lol.
Well, I did CHECK MY FACTS. Do you understand that "0.4%" = 0.004? That means 4 in 1,000 "deaths by covid." That's not 4 in 1000 people died; that's 4 in 1,000 OF the Covid deaths. 4 in 1,000 is practically a rounding error. Especially since we know that anyone who died, for any reason, while they tested positive for Covid, was considered a "Covid death." Deaths by cancer, organ failure, injury, etc, were considered Covid deaths if they tested positive for Covid. It also counts those who died as a result of the shot. Ironic, isn't it?Because viruses mutate. There’s absolutely no guarantee kids won’t be affected by currently emerging strains.
“Among the 4.4 million COVID-19 deaths1 reported in the MPIDR COVerAGE database, 0.4 per cent (over 17,400) occurred in children and adolescents under 20 years of age. Of the over 17,400 deaths reported in those under 20 years of age, 53 per cent occurred among adolescents ages 10–19, and 47 per cent among children ages 0–9.” From UNICEF.
CHECK YOUR FACTS.
As I noted, the CDC recommendations are unscientific, immoral, and wrong. Did I mention 'stupid?'The CDC recommends covid and flu shots for every American over age 6 months.

Yes, the 'vast majority of doctors supported' the shots. For the reason I mentioned.It's not just the CDC, it's the vast majority of doctors in America that support the vaccines.
They're not "unscientific, immoral and wrong."
Yes, the 'vast majority of doctors supported' the shots. For the reason I mentioned.
Do your own research, and see what you think about the CDC guidelines/recommendation, for example, of giving children 2 years old and younger Covid gene therapy. Especially before you evangelize. I have. I leave you in peace on this topic.
And that 4 in 1000 adds up to 17,400. And several doctors have told me that COVID triggers other co-morbidities. It happened to my father. Top cause of death was COVID pneumonia, second was acute renal failure. He wasn’t going to die of anything until the virus hit him. None of these things exist in a vacuum.Well, I did CHECK MY FACTS.

When viruses mutate, they almost always mutate into a less deadly form. Just as Covid has. You can look that up. It's pretty basic immunology. Also, "there's absolutely no guarantee" you won't die in a car crash this month. That's a ridiculous threshold.
How often do you exercise? At what intensity? What’s your diet like? How much sleep do you get? Why the hell do you care what anyone else is doing? It’s been shown 3 years ago that the COVID vaccine isn’t stopping someone from getting or passing along the virus. So it’s literally of no concern to you what someone else does. You’re a really weird dude.Just curious...why not?

Please do not mischaracterize me as an anti-vaxxer, as that is absolutely inaccurate. I am fully supportive of vaccines, and I believe that anybody who wants to get a Covid booster or flu shot should get one with no sense of concern or fear.
I have already answered your question regarding my choice not to get either this year:
No physician has recommended to me, individually, that I should get the vaccines. I have no risk factors, and I do not personally interact with anybody with any risk factors. I do not take medication unnecessarily, as a general rule. In the last five years, I believe that the only medication that I have taken on a few occasions is an antihistamine for seasonal allergies.
My PCP is more anxious for me to get the shingles vaccine (NO) and making sure I’ve gotten my flu shot than getting more Covid boosters.
I work 100% remotely.Thanks for your perspective.
How can you know if you don't personally interact with anybody that has covid risk factors...don't you see patients, students and faculty each week?
Did you ask your Doctor about the vaccines? I'm curious how they responded.
I work 100% remotely.
I am curious about your persistent questioning of my personal healthcare decisions. What do you hope to achieve by this line of questioning?
I will assert that you can trust that I am more than capable of taking care of myself effectively, as evidenced by the information that I have already provided.
Well, I have addressed your question regarding my choice not to take the flu and Covid vaccines this year directly and in detail several times now, yet you continue to question me. I am a person, and you are asking me personal questions. This is most certainly something personal.
These are not questions about my perspective; these are questions about my behavior. What are you hoping to learn about my perspective through these questions?How can you know if you don't personally interact with anybody that has covid risk factors...don't you see patients, students and faculty each week?

I also don't take statins, antidepressants, NSAIDs, etc. despite overwhelming evidence that those medications are safe and effective. Do you understand why?I'm interested in everyone's perspective that doesn't want to get vaccinated in spite of the overwhelming evidence that vaccines are safe and effective.

The CDC has very clear recommendations regarding diet, and diet-related illnesses and death far exceed those associated with the coronavirus. Indeed, having an unhealthy diet is a risk factor for severe illness and death from Covid. Why do you choose to reject the CDC recommendations regarding diet?Yes, although those are different because they aren't recommended for every American over 6 months of age.
The coronavirus vaccines are.
