Timing matters...
I believe it was this paper from December 2020 but 30 months later I'm not sure.

Sadly, that study proved to be incorrect...

Rushed? RSV vaccines have been in process since the 1960's. The earlier versions were disastrous, and those were scrapped and they re-designed the project from scratch. There were promising results in 2011, and in 2013, the first clinical trials of what is NOW - 10 years later - a successful approved vaccine, were conducted. I've been a test subject for the Galaxo-Smith-Kline double-blind peer-reviewed trials for over two years, but the trial started before I volunteered for it. I was in one of the later batches.

There is nothing rushed about the RSV vaccine.

Any proof, or just another conspiracy of yours? Believe it or not, most people with real jobs are already too busy to get their job done and have no time to start falsifying stuff for some secret agenda.

You are joking, right????

You doubt that my post is a factual statement of coding department policies at US hospitals and physician attestations??????

Now, let's see: I was chief of staff at a 350 bed hospital and you were...? Yeah, I thought so. Please don't make any more of a fool of yourself as you just did. Maybe there is a subject you know something about, but clearly this is not it.

One of the best bits of advice I received was:
Never argue with doctors or surgeons.
"One writes your prescriptions, the other is holding the knife!"

Just typical for TOTV ---He's a clueless person arguing with an expert about something they know nothing about. Debating opinions or topics where the facts are questionable is one thing, his post was just stupid.

My dad passed away from the flu so I get the shot every year. But I get jabbed in November because it only last for six months. I contacted the flu in March and one time in April, so I want it to be effective during those months when I travel more. My primary care didn't object to my regimen.

Getting the flu shot. Had the flu two years in a row and down for the count both times. Been getting the shot religiously since then.
