New CDC Director Teases Annual COVID Shots

The CDC’s new director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, teased incoming guidance recommending annual COVID-19 booster shots in a Thursday interview with Spectrum News.

Dr. Mandy Cohen alluded to annual COVID-19 vaccination recommendations to be announced in early September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“We’re just on the precipice of that, so I don’t want to get ahead of where our scientists are here and doing that evaluation work, but yes we anticipate that COVID will become similar to flu shots, where it is going to be you get your annual flu shot and you get your annual COVID shot,” Cohen said. “We’re not quite there yet, but stay tuned. I think within the next couple of weeks, month we’re going to hear more from our experts on COVID shots.”

Cohen was appointed as CDC director in June by President Biden following the departure of Dr. Rochelle Walensky. She has a background in internal medicine and led the North Carolina Department of Human Health and Services.

Whatever. Covid has mutated and resistanced (vaccine and recovery) into the same kind of background noise as did the 1918 "Spanish Flu". It did not take great foresight to know that would happen.

Well, I can add that to the list of shots I will NOT be getting.

I don't do the flu shots, either.

I got my last vaccine several decades ago. It was for measles.

My doc was pushing me to get the Shingles Vax.  I just thru the script away.  I'll take my chances.
Last vax I had was 3 years ago for tetanus after I sliced my hand open with a rusty axe.   Seemed the prudent thing to do!

Some vaccines are good: polio, rubella, diptheria and whooping cough come to mind. Some are - all things considered - probably unnecessary for most people, e.g., pneumonia, but I can see where they might be helpful to some.

I hate it when I'm branded an "anti-vaxxer" just for opining that one variety, the Covid vax, is neither necessary nor likely to be helpful.

Agreed.

The medical establishment had a chance to prove or disprove whether or not these vaccines were as good as claimed. Winter of 2021–22 flat-out made them look like fools. That's science: a hypothesis is put to the test, and the facts determine if it passes or fails that test. The coronavirus vaccines horribly failed the test they were given.
