~~Headline overstates. FDA is changing their recommendations. This is still monumentally stupid, but they're not going to prevent you from getting a vaccination if you want one.~~
I was wrong. See the comment by @grue@lemmy.world below. In this case, the headline is correct, and the article is not.
From https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929 :
"Biologics License Applications" sounds a lot like "you won't have permission to get the vaccine until they do some bullshit clinical trial."
Like getting a "stamp" for having the Devil's lettuce before states started decriminalizing.
Yeah, I just saw NYT reporting referencing this. Earlier I was going on the content of this article. Bad reporting for the loss?
I sincerely hope this is the truth. I don't give two shits what they recommend. I haven't had COVID yet, and I'm not about to get it. Let me and my doctor decide if I get the vaccine yearly.
Also, the government isn't paying for my COVID shots any more. I am. Even if it only decreases my chances of infection by a small percentage, let me make that choice.
I haven’t had it either and I will pay out of pocket for the vaccine. Kn95s when outside, n95s when in inside with people, and generally being a recluse has worked pretty well
Maybe not directly, but in practice, it can lead to the same result. When pharmacies feel that their vaccine supply is insufficient to meet demand, they refuse to vaccinate people who are not in health authority-recommended groups. This happens more often than you might think.
give it time
