Incorrect statement. NOT going anywhere because it has crossed the boundaries of human/animal transmission. Since so many animals have proven to be COVID positive, you will NEVER be able to vaccinate humans into immunity. The ONLY way vaccination would work is IF it were only human transmitted disease, which it is NOT. USDA APHIS | SARS-CoV-2 in Animals in the United States

Let me go one step further. All these providers (physicians and pharmacies) who are administering the third shots of Moderna (AKA boosters by some) are just not listening to or following the guidance of the CDC. Am I understanding that correctly???

I've been saying that over, and over, and over again....

I told the aide my two shot vaccination was Pfizer. She tells me not to worry, they’re the same, they’re only giving Moderna. ������ now I’m hoping I don’t pee green or glow in the dark.

Well, 1... They're not the same...

And 2... No, it shouldn't hurt you at all...

But once again, SCIENCE!

Welp, I guess you can't say Florida is anti-vaccine. Everyone seems to be all about it this time around.

And people can't understand why there are people who don't trust what the Government is telling them...

My 2 cents...... the government jumped the gun and misspoke. Wishful thinking made them do it.

Whose definition?

Third doses of both shots were approved for people who were immunocompromised. These were specified not as boosters but as necessary in the series of first dose for people who were not building the full antibodies due to medical conditions (HIV, Cancer treatments, RA treatments, etc.) All of these treatments shut down your natural immunities in order to all the drugs to come in and kill these diseases.

Now comes the booster shot. Pfizer applied for and got approval for booster shots for people whose antibodies start waning. The CDC only recommended the BOOSTER shot for people 65 and older. Yes, it is exactly the same shot that those receiving a 3rd shot are getting but there is a distinction about why people are receiving it.

Moderna has not yet applied for approval for the booster dose. 3rd shot doses are approved.

If anyone is getting the 3rd shot of Moderna right now it is because they are attesting that they are immunocompromised individuals and meet the criteria.

You don’t have to lie. Most doctors and Publix will give you a Moderna 3rd shot if you’re 65+ and at least 6 months past your 2nd shot. These seem to be the minimum qualifications for the 3rd Moderna shot. You don’t have to “talk” anyone into anything. I resent your calling those of us you met those qualifications and got the shot liars and con artists!

IMHO, I wouldn't call it "lying" but confusion on the provider's parts and also the general public regarding the Moderna third vaccine shot for the general public over the age of 65 and NOT immunocompromised. This is getting complicated. People need simplicity and this has become anything but simple.

Got mine a week ago at CVS in target applied on CVS website

Since the beginning of COVID, I sought out advice from my physician and people in the field of medicine rather than follow CDC! It would be best to contact your doctor than listen to Fauci because he’s a political junkie IMHO! Just my two cents! As of this writing, this is what I found at Moderna website which another go to for me over MSM and NIH and CDC!

Well either the pharmacists are not following protocol, or people are lying about their immunosuppressed status... Pick one...
