In reply to the discussion: Made a social call to a friend who happens to be a doctor & she opened with "There's a HUGE Covid outbreak"... [View all]Progressive dog
(7,534 posts)26. Got a new Covid vaccine
last Friday along with flu vaccine. Went to Connecticut since NY CVS were still requiring a prescription. Have yet to hear of anyone dropping dead from the Covid vaccines, but hundreds of thousands were dying of Covid.
A meta-analysis of seven COVID-19 studies, published by medical journal Cureus in August 2023, found that people who are unvaccinated are 2.46 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than those who are vaccinated.

I got mine at a CVS pharmacy--free since I've over 65. Also free if you have pre-existing conditions.
