Really???? And that statement is based on what??????
How about those people for whom the vaccine may save their lives???

Sounds like someone googles anti-vaxxer websites (and actually believes their nonsense enough to repeat it here). Please don't do the members of TOTV a disservice by spouting out crap.

PS, you must have missed my post. I did my own research. Part of "making my own decision" is talking to my doc. I tend to make my own choices.
So, you're talking but not thinking if you're including me. ~peace

RSV Vaccine
 

RSV apparently is commin among children. Mild symptoms take their course as with any virus.

Talk to your physician about any virus and preventions.

Be very cautious with vaccines and medical recommendations in this current political and big pharma greed climate.

Everyone is entitled to making a personal decision as to how they manage their health. Do what is best for you but research everything before taking any jab.

Not a medical professional just like to read. If your own body does not develop antibodies to protect you is this vaccine suppose to lessen the effects?

Taken from the American Lung Association page:

Understanding RSV in Adults

RSV is a common virus that you have undoubtedly been sick with before. You might not have known that you had RSV because without a lab test to confirm diagnosis, it is typically lumped together with other respiratory infections that cause cold-like symptoms. It is possible to get RSV multiple times, even in the same year, because you do not develop complete immunity to it.

Not including you---you did exactly what you should. The post was more directed at those, like during the pandemic, that skipped the physician conversation, did a 5 minute google search and made a bad decision. For many of them, here is the result:

Nope

I had rsv last winter. It was awful. I could barely breath, slept most of the day, had to lay flat or could barely breath. It lasted about 18 days. Went to emergency care up north, they confirmed rsv. I was not hospitalized, but told if symptoms got worse to go to the emergency room. Not something I'd ever want to go thru again.

Colds
 

Anybody catching a cold? Colds seem to have disappeared?

Last December I caught RSV from our young grandson. I lost my voice for a solid month and sounded hoarse for several months after that. I will be getting vaxxed for RSV and the flu.

Our PCP recommended it
 

We both got it based on the advice of our PCP. He said it was safe and effective. We only some minor symptoms the day after.

RSV is among a number of virus that cause respiratory infections.

The technology to perform this testing rapidly and cost effectively to help physicians in their diagnosis has been released the past few years.

Here's a chart showing the evolution of most common pathogens detected by the BioFire system the past few months.

Do you take antibiotics?

The same group likely insists on being prescribed antibiotics for viral infections...

Which is doing far more harm than any vaccine.

Yes, my wife and I got it. Slight sore arm for her no effects for me. Ot is recommended for those over 60

I’m seriously considering getting the RSV vaccination, not just for myself but for the grandkids! Almost lost one to RSV last winter.
