My doctors have all recommended getting the new vaccine. They are all taking it themselves. Rather than listening to politicized advice from non-doctors on social media, I trust my doctors and will follow their advice. I am also getting the flu and RSV vaccine.

Florida has the highest per capita COVID hospitalization rate in the country right now, if you believe in data.
“TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The warning from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration against getting Covid boosters couldn’t have come at a worse time.

DeSantis’ hand-picked surgeon general, Joseph Ladapo, last Wednesday urged people under 65 not to get the newly approved mRNA-boosters, just days after Florida ranked first in the nation for Covid-related hospitalizations.”
