A month after federal officials recommended new versions of COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot.

One expert called the rates “abysmal.”

Okay, I’ll bite. If true, this means that close to 95% of the people who fell for the Covid pandemic narrative are no longer worried about dying? Or killing their grandmother? Do they no longer trust the science? I don’t get it. Either they know it was all a lie and they’re too cowardly to admit it, or they think it’s no longer a threat. Or is it something else? Maybe they’ve heard the stories, about, you know, (looks furtively left and right), died suddenly.

I suppose it might be an intentional lie, maybe people are still lining up for the newest booster like they did in the old days when the word Covid sent people into paroxysms of fear, but what would be the purpose? On their best day they never got past 80% jabbed and that was at the height of the mania. Now they can’t get 1/10th that number.

Why admit it?

Vaccine data shows rates for latest COVID-19 booster is ‘abysmal’, only 7 percent of U.S. adults with shot

NEW YORK (AP) — A month after federal officials recommended new versions of COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot.

One expert called the rates “abysmal.”

The numbers, presented Thursday at a meeting held by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, come from a national survey of thousands of Americans, conducted two weeks ago.

The data also indicated that nearly 40% of adults said they probably or definitely will not get the shot. A similar percentage of parents said they did not plan to vaccinate their children.

n the late summer, government health officials made the nation’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign more like the annual flu campaign.

Officials approved updated shots that have a single target, an omicron descendant named XBB.1.5. They replaced vaccines that targeted the original coronavirus strain and a much earlier omicron version. Last month, the CDC recommended the new shots for everyone 6 months and older.

The government also transitioned to a commercialized system that relied on the health-care industry — not the government — to handle the distribution of the shots. Many people who immediately went for shots said pharmacies or doctors didn’t have them.

Americans have been urged to get different iterations of the vaccines for more than 2 and 1/2 years. This year, COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations fell to lower levels than seen in the previous three years.

Cases remain low compared with the pandemic’s early months. Even so, health officials say about 18,000 hospitalization and 1,200 deaths are still being reported each week.

One expert at the meeting, Dr. Camille Kotton of Harvard Medical School, called the numbers “abysmal” and said part of the problem may be patient confusion. She urged stepped-up public education efforts.

Dr. David Kimberlin, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, also expressed dismay.

“The recommendations are not being heard,” he said.

My belief is that our lifespan is fixed … nothing we do will lengthen it by even the tiniest measure of time … BUT, while living, my wish is to be as healthy and, therefore, fully functioning as possible — which is why I take 2 prescription medications: B/P medication for my high blood pressure — and an herbal tincture that my naturopath created for a heart condition.

That’s enough … they can keep the rest … ALL MDs have lost my trust, expecially the 20-somethings and the AA candidates that have been given MD licenses due to their DIE boxes being checked.

It is my belief that for many of those people, it wasn’t about being scared of a hoax virus at all. It was about politics and tribal mentality. People were divided very early on during the Covid hoax. One side (mostly Liberals and many Conservatives) were willing to obey every ridiculous order and mandate, no matter how much it hurt them personally and financially. The other side (skeptics, critical thinkers) disobeyed the mandates because they didn’t trust the government to tell them the truth, and because they could see what a hoax it was through simple observation.

The people that would yell at you in the store for not wearing a mask, or who would wish you dead for not hiding in your house, were just acting on the orders of their government and media overlords. People in the media were calling the non-conformists “domestic terrorists”, and were saying that they were a danger to society. It was divide and conquer in the extreme, and it’s the government’s oldest trick.

There were millions of people who absolutely loved the Covid hoax, and who couldn’t get enough of the drama. They got off on being a government enforcer, and believed that their unquestioning loyalty and compliance made them better people.

I don’t think many people are changing their mind/teams at this point, but the “rules” keep changing and people who have already taken five of these “annual” shots in three years think they are “up to date”. When they line up for their useless flu shots they’ll agree to get both.

I think they need to portray low uptake because there are so many positive tests (people who are taking the shot also seem to still love the testing). This allows them to blame the 93% of people who aren’t “up to date” for the failure of the product.

While I appreciate that opinion it simply doesn’t make sense.

Being up to date is not a matter of personal preference, it is a determination of the experts, a result of the science, a prevention of severe illness and possibly death, a prophylactic for grandmothers. That was the narrative.

No one who got the shots the first time through ever allowed those who demured such an excuse.

You either agree with the science or you are a science denier.

Its not as simple as that. Here in canukistan they are still pushing the Pop’n Drop, only quietly now. So when the regulah sheep line up for the ‘flu’ shot they’ll suggest the pop’n drop be added to the mix.

There are still people wearing masks here and it matters not what evidence they are shown they simply refuse to believe anything other than needing that shot to keep from dying. Anything contradictory, even govt admissions, simply bounce off them, you subverter.

imo, the govt admissions are a quiet shaming to get people into reconsidering and rolling the sleeve.

There have been plenty of stories of folks who thought they were getting a flu shot and got a covid jab instead without being told

That, and employers (Kaiser in Cali for one) are still mandating employees get boosters or get fired,….nothing has changed much, it’s just more low key

I think it’s covid fatigue plus market recognition of a failed product. The messaging here is the same old shaming we used to get every year for the flu shot.

Keep in mind pharma doesn’t care about uptake rates or how many doses were actually used. They’ve already made their money by having their product recommended by the CDC, thus forcing allopathic practitioners to keep it in stock regardless of consumer demand.

I have seen several sheep from early 40s to late 70s getting their clot shots at Publix and Walgreen’s while wearing their masks much to my derision while wearing my Muppet Show Professor Bunsen and Beaker shirt that says “Because Science.” I bought three of those shirts 7 years ago when my wife found them and good god were they prescient.

I either get hysterical laughs or wide-eyed sneers from people when I wear them.

Point being that people that never bothered to really invest in their health have been addicted to fear porn and they are damned sure getting those shots because they are addicted to the easy fix promoted by the snake oil salesmen and their gubmint shills that have their hands in the money pocket of pharma.

Just like the bullshit quick fix for fatties buying wegovy. Say goodbye to that fat while you destroy your liver and pancreas because you were too fucking lazy to eat better and exercise.

Then they will cry wolf when the side effects kick in.

The FDA has approved every drug that has ever been recalled. That meme is brutal honesty that people should heed.

I am not exactly sure how many times a person or people can be lied to before they wake up, but based on the last 20 or so years, give or take, it appears that number is infinite for the majority of humans.

ZFG, out.

P.S. buy the ticket and take the ride you fucken sheep. Shove all that adulterated poison into your bodies that you want. You all earned whatever happens.

I’ve puzzled on this HSF, and can only conclude that someone is out of lock-step with the narrative. Maybe the Musk takeover of Twitter was a bigger deal than it seemed? Maybe all those seeds planted into the zeitgest back during the Q phenomenon are taking hold? By all rights they should still be able to generate the same kind of panic as before, so are people just suddenly wiser?

Maybe they need a new fad hoax every 6 months? Looks like the “surprise attack “ in Israel was supposed to be it. But the people who took the shot are supporting the wrong side even though they are still hiding behind their masks.

Not to be out down by the Christians stupidity of rescuing staunch members of the other side as well as the Deep State.

It’s because for the most part they dropped the scare tactics and threats for now anyway. No more you will die! You will kill people! we will exile you from society! you are a child killer! you will kill grandma! etc. etc. if you don’t get the clot shot. So, the sheeple do not have the guilt at the same level as during the “pandemic” Plus many companies have dropped the requirement to get it. I think some people took it because they did not want to lose their job. Besides there is supposed to be a new pandemic worse than Covid anytime now according to Gates and Fauci. The mando shots will return then.

So your saying they forgot what was said two years ago or they remember but have sinc learned it wasn’t true?

They said it was unprecedented, that was their word for Covid 19. They saod ot was the most lethal pandemic since the Spanish flu. Thy said if you didn’t you would kill the vulnerable.

If that were true then you’d have stay up to date or you would be at great risk of a Winter of death, of being an accomplic to eldercide, of overwhelming hospitals.

People can surely live in two universes … Look at how the NFL, NBA, MLB and so on all bent the knee and spit on the USA. Yet, all those, including those that are ‘MAGA’ still buy tickets and pack the stands.

Did they forget? Do they actually care? Did they even understand or parrot along the same as mask sheeple?

There are plenty of people now supposedly against the shots that sure as shit screamed at people for not getting them when there was fear being propagandized 24/7. Now those same people pretend that that never happened and they were always against the shots.

Look at the truckers in Canada. The protest was smacked down and they complained… yet when the Palestinians went to protest those same truckers were all for cracking down on the Palestinians because ‘they were terrorists’ and didnt believe what the truckers believed.

People far and wide have severe mental health issues and coping mechanisms. This is extreme to the point that they can literally convince themselves that they didnt take a shot even though they did… or they can convince themselves that their sports team wasnt BLM or whatever. We are in a land and era of nutcases and psychos and even those that now arent taking the shots and say they are bunk would flip on a dime to the ‘put them in camps for refusing’ belief if their was another panic put upon them.

Maybe the whole ‘doctor shortage’, is that they left town to find an easier group of Marks, removing organs from dead people who cannot say no, funded by the US and NATO: Why give jabs, when the money going to Ukraine is more lucrative: harvesting organs of children and soldiers in Ukraine the ethnic cleansing, criminal money laundering ,adrenochrome industry capital, of the world. Which they misnamed a war. Perhaps Gaza will be the next organ harvesting cash cow fro them.
I am quite sure all these new pandemics and easy money genocidal frauds and con games, that profit the so-called doctors, originate from their overlords in Hell.
The money grubbing medical wolves, will always have some other nefarious plan to get money whilst serving Satan and devouring as many of the ignorant sheep earth, as they can, before they have to spend eternity in Hell for their crimes against humanity and child abuse they misname ‘medical care.’

Big Pharma still makes the same profit on doses sold to governments around the world. Makes no difference if people volunteer to be shot up or not. Seems to me when the all clear was sounded folks no longer saw the need for additional vaxxing. Also, even the dumbest mouth breather could start wondering why so many young healthy people were dying suddenly.

The money still flows to the vaxx manufacturers because it’s a scam. Ordering and destroying millions of doses unused doesn’t stop the pirate class from their fortunes.
