Re: Latest on the Corona VirusCDC Recommends COVID-19 Vaccines for Young Children
CDC endorsed the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation that all children 6 months through 5 years of age should receive a COVID-19 vaccine. This expands eligibility for vaccination to nearly 20 million additional children and means that all Americans ages 6 months and older are eligible for vaccination.
Parents and caregivers can get their children 6 months through 5 years of age vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines to better protect them from COVID-19. All children, including children who have already had COVID-19, should get vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines have undergone—and will continue to undergo—the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history. Parents and caregivers can play an active role in monitoring the safety of these vaccines by signing their children up for V-safe – personalized and confidential health check-ins via text messages and web surveys where they can easily share with CDC how a child feels after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
Parents can reach out to their doctor, nurse, local pharmacy, or health department, or visit vaccines.gov to see where vaccines for children are available.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
So you choose to ignore the fact the CDC is not telling the truth. They have been caught in a lie. If what the government liars are saying about the need for boosters because the efficacy of the vaccines decreases with time then the vaccine that I received over 2 years ago is no longer working for me. Any immunity that I have is long term built up natural immunity, something that the Pfiser and Moderna mRNA injections suppress.
Those things that you call fake cures are actually saving lives world wide. They are treatments, not cures. The only true cure is natural immunity. Treatments give the body's auto immune system the time it needs to develop the antibodies needed to destroy the virus. Keep getting your pokes. By now your autoimmune system has been suppressed to the point where it can no longer respond to any virus. Eventually you will have an adverse reaction to one of the pokes and end up in the morgue.Comment

Elmo is now vaccinated for Covid-19
Elmo, everyone's favorite red Muppet, has received the Covid-19 vaccine.
In a public service announcement released on Tuesday by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, Elmo's dad Louie -- also a Muppet -- shared his questions about the Covid-19 vaccine for children under 5. Elmo is 3 and a half years old.
"Was it safe? Was it the right decision?' I talked to our pediatrician so I could make the right choice," Louie said in the PSA. "I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbors and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love."
Covid-19 vaccines are now available for children under 5, and parents may have some questions, said Jeanette Betancourt, senior vice president of US social impact at Sesame Workshop.
"We hope that Louie and Elmo will inspire parents and caregivers across the country to speak with their healthcare providers and seek out information to learn about how the COVID-19 vaccines can keep young children and their families healthy," Betancourt said via email.
The US Food and Drug Administration gave emergency use authorization for the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines to include children as young as 6 months earlier in June. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off on Covid-19 vaccinations for children under 5 on June 17, after the CDC's vaccine advisers voted unanimously that same day to recommend the use of Covid-19 vaccinations for children under 5.
The PSA both serves as a "beautiful" example of modeling healthy behavior and a way to help people realize that it is OK to have questions about the vaccine, said Dr. Neha Chaudhary, child psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and chief medical officer of BeMe Health.
"I imagine there will be kids and parents who watch this and feel like they too can ask those questions, work through them, and go ahead and get the COVID-19 vaccine if their doctor gives them the okay," Chaudhary said via email.
Children form powerful bonds with their favorite media characters, so it can be helpful for children to learn by watching a 'friend' go through something new and potentially scary, said Dr. Jenny Radesky, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
"It's natural for getting a vaccine to stress out both children and their parents," Radesky said via email. "I appreciate it when media creators cleverly place pearls of knowledge into their stories that help families cope."

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
The 'worst variant' is here
Nearly two-and-a-half years since the coronavirus pandemic began, the most infectious and transmissible variant yet has arrived.
Repeated Covid-19 waves have left millions of people dead, with only vaccines helping to blunt the toll. Now the virus is spreading again — evolving, escaping immunity and driving an uptick in cases and hospitalizations. The latest version of its shape-shifting, BA.5, is a clear sign that the pandemic is far from over.
The newest offshoot of Omicron, along with a closely related variant, BA.4, are fueling a global surge in cases — 30% over the past fortnight, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
In Europe, the Omicron subvariants are powering a spike in cases of about 25%, though Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program, has said that number may actually be higher, given the "almost collapse in testing." BA.5 is on the march in China, ratcheting anxieties that major cities there may soon re-enforce strict lockdown measures that were only recently lifted. And the same variant has become the dominant strain in the United States, where it accounted for 65% of new infections last week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"We have been watching this virus evolve rapidly. We've been planning and preparing for this moment. And the message that I want to get across to the American people is this: BA.5 is something we're closely monitoring, and most importantly, we know how to manage it," said Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House's Covid-19 response coordinator, in a news briefing on Tuesday.
On the same day, WHO's Emergency Committee said Covid-19 remained a Public Health Emergency of International Concern — its highest level of alert, first declared on January 20, 2020 — amid rising cases, ongoing viral mutation and increasing pressure on already overstretched health systems.
In a statement, the committee, which is made up of independent experts, highlighted challenges to the ongoing global Covid-19 response, including a drop-off in testing and spotty genome sequencing, raising the question of just how accurately any nation might reasonably be able to monitor BA.5.
Official data dramatically undercount the true number of infections in the US, epidemiologists say, leaving the nation with a critical blind spot as the most transmissible coronavirus variant yet takes hold. Some experts think there could be as many as 1 million new infections every day in the broader US population — 10 times higher than the official count.
As for how to manage the new wave, Jha urged Americans aged 50 and older to get second booster shots. Adults who are up to date with vaccinations are less likely to be hospitalized than those who are unvaccinated. But only about one in four adults in the US over 50 have gotten their recommended second boosters, data collected by the CDC show.
US health officials are urgently working on a plan to allow second Covid-19 boosters for all adults, a senior White House official confirmed to CNN on Monday, amid fears that younger adults' immunity may be waning as Covid-19 cases rise with the dominance of BA.5.
