I'm having a bit of difficulty with this. First, not a question, is just to say I was in the category of having had measles as a child. Fifty years later, when I had titers drawn as vaccination was a job requirement, I did not show immunity to measles or mumps (I had everything as vaccines werent' yet availble). I had no question I was still immune, but had to get an MMR or not get employment. Easy decision.
My daughter (total PVand anxious about CDs) and her partner were born in 1981 and 1985. So they had one dose. I suggested they get a second. I'm interested on your take - are there data that a second after so many years increase effectiveness?
I'm having a hard time with the idea of not getting an additional vaccine (as in my daughter's case) in order not to give information that can be misinterpreted to RFK, Jr. While I understand COVID vaccine works differently, it's only recommended once a year or when a new one is developed (I won't hold my breath on that now). I get on every 4-6 months (that includes newer vaccines as we've known they were in the works, so I've timed them around travel, new vaccines, etc., not to go beyond 6 months). The premise is the same, however. I am not going to wait until it's a year and the vaccine has waned in order to keep things smooth for RFK, Jr and the AV crowd. I also get Tdap every 4 years because I've worked in schools.
I won't allow concerns about how RFK, Jr. may misinterpret data that he probably won't even have to determine what's best for my heatlh and safety. He's going to do what he does regardless of who has adverse reactions. They don't rely on factual data to begin with. You have enough examples, but I'll add one more. Looking for a quote from Brian Hooker earlier today, I listened to him on a very recent podcast that included the current Texas Measles ["confirmed it was the vaccine that caused the"] outbreak . He said before the vaccine that Measles "Mortablity rate before vaccines was one or two in a million" and measles had benefits, and "prevented various types of cancers."
Thank you, as always, for all your work and provided such a vital and reliable resource.
