Aug 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Moderna's (MRNA.O), opens new tab flu vaccine for people aged 50 and older, the company said on Wednesday, marking the first approval of a messenger RNA-based vaccine for seasonal flu.

The shot, mFlusiva, was given a traditional approval for adults aged *50 to 64, and an accelerated approval for those 65 years and older.

Moderna has agreed to run an additional study and submit more data in adults 65 and older to confirm the vaccine's benefit in that age group.

If sales slump, they might demonize people who don't want it by saying they are selfish & making others sick.
Then require it to dine out.
Then require it to keep their jobs.
Then report deaths of people who don't get it.
Then show the President getting his MRNA vaccine on TV.
Then report crowded hospital waiting rooms with people on the floor gasping for breath & refrigerated meat trucks outside to store bodies.
And the worst thing of all: Toilet paper shortages.

Where in the world did I get such silly ideas? 🤣
 
Ya its very scary isnt it??

Scary so many blindly fell for it and cut us down because we didnt! (I lost my best friends because I woudnt take that crap.. In still suffering over thier loss :()

They went from the NICEST PEOPLE I have had ever had in my life to the utter meanest!!
I haven't spoken to my nephew for several years. My sister & I were decorating the dining room for Thanksgiving. We both got colds - not Covid; we both tested negative. My nephew blamed me for giving his mother my cold.
I asked him, "How do you know she didn't give me her cold? And do you know the difference between Covid and the common cold?"
He said, "You don't get Covid shots, so you gave her your cold."
I said, "For a 37 year old, you're incredibly ignorant. And see your doctor about changing your antidepressants; they're not helping you."
This was a nephew who I helped get a decent car so he could attend college by giving him (not lending him) $6,000.00.

By the way, if you lost friends because you made your own health choices, you didn't lose anything. They were not much friends to begin with - much like my nephew.

Good morning to all-

Yes, we "lost" family to the COVID and what happened during it.

My wife and I have pre-COVID conditions- pulmonary stuff- that makes us very susceptible to any kind of lung disease. We anticipated the vaccine and as soon as possible, we had the shots, No problem and no COVID- that's a big win for us.

but we had close family who wanted to come and "visit" during and after the shut down and before we had full vaccine shots. We asked if they had the vaccines and they got all crazy with us about how bad the shots were and that they would never be vaccinated against COVID. We told them that we could not chance being around folks who MIGHT expose us to the disease, and that was the end of family ties.

Haven't seen these close family members since- they were MAGA crazy, too, so although I regret the lose of them, it might have been for the best.

COVID was bad, but I think our country did the best that could have been done- and I don't regret having schools closed one bit- too many health-fragile kids around to chance infection and spread of COVID.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

For people with serious illnesses already & not in good health, Covid can kill - much like the Flu or any other virus. That's a whole different issue that is often confused with the real issue, which is the ineffectiveness of the Covid vaccine.

Friends are one thing, but family is another. Grandparents weren't allowed to see their grandchildren because they hadn't been vaccinated, and their own son or daughter was afraid of exposing their children to the unvaccinated. They are still family, so some semblance of a relationship would still be important, but there has to be a break there. None of my close friends were caught up in Fauci's lies, but there are acquaintances whom I am no longer interested in seeing because they acted so stupidly during the COVID fiasco.

The Covid fiasco brought out the need & opportunity for the controllers & authority addicts to act out & tell others what to do. A very bad idea when people were already on edge.
I was in line outside a market (remember when they only let a few people into stores at a time). One guy in line brought his cart with him instead of getting it as he was let into the store (which wasn't against any rule). Another guy wearing gloves that he kept spraying with alcohol, walked up to him & said, "Sir, don't have your cart with you while you're in line; get it at the front of the store."
The cart guy said, "It's none of your concern."
The controller guy said, "Take your cart to the front of the store to be disinfected."
The cart guy (twice the other guy's size & obviously mad) moved closer, an inch from his face, looked down at him & said, "I suggest you shop somewhere else before you get hurt."
Luckily, the controller guy moved back in line & continued spraying his gloves while people in line chuckled.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple essential workers and retail employees were killed in violent altercations after asking customers to comply with face-mask policies. These high-profile incidents occurred throughout the United States as public health mandates became heavily politicized.
Prominent Incidents
    • Flint, Michigan (May 2020): A 43-year-old security guard named Calvin Munerlyn was shot and killed at a Family Dollar store. The confrontation began after he denied entry to a shopper's daughter for not wearing a mask. The shopper's husband and son later returned to the store and shot Munerlyn. Three family members were arrested and sentenced to life in prison. [1, 2, 3, 4]
    • Decatur, Georgia (June 2021): A 41-year-old grocery cashier named Laquitta Willis was fatally shot at the Big Bear Supermarket. An argument broke out when Willis asked a customer to pull up his mask while checking out. The customer left without his purchases, returned with a handgun, and shot her. An off-duty deputy working store security was also injured in an ensuing shootout. [1, 2, 3]
    • Gardena, California (July 2020): A security guard named Kenneth Fowler was shot and killed at a Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles following a dispute over a mask mandate.
 
Im so sorry Tony. I hope he comes to his senses and comes back someday.. Its just how much how much mental damage this did to people... Many will not ever be the same!!
Although he's not the type to admit it or apologize, I'm sure he feels rather stupid because everyone in his entire vaccinated family got Covid & some had to be hospitalized. I also got Covid, which was a three-day chest cold, followed by four days of coughing up....stuff. Nothing I would get a vaccine for; especially one of questionable effectiveness or safety.
 
Some of the same people who were angry with those who wouldn't wear masks would lower theirs to talk or to cough.
That's pretty nasty. I always wore a mask & kept my nose & mouth covered wherever it was required, ever though I considered it useless. In CA, we couldn't walk into any store or office without it. Besides, it's not worth arguing with store employees or security personnel, anyway.

During Covid, I had a bathroom remodeled & the house repiped. I told all the workers & plumbers, masks were optional & I didn't care either way. Some wore masks & some didn't. I also had weekly diabetes support group meetings at my house. Same thing - I told everyone it was entirely up to them to wear masks or not & I handed out new packaged masks to anyone who wanted them - along with hand sanitizer if they felt more comfortable using it. None of us maintained that magical 6-ft distance, however. And I served fruit salad, nuts & coffee. Some even hugged me & I warned them that I wasn't vaccinated. They laughed & didn't care. Most of them already got Covid anyway -after their vaccine.

I also was friends with a couple who were 87 & 91. They both wanted to get Covid vaccines & boosters. I drove them to get theirs. He got Covid a few weeks later & also had a heart attack after his first booster. Maybe just old age, or maybe from the booster. Before the booster, he was still riding his Ducati Motorcycle, so.......who knows.
 
...or eat on airplanes and in airports.
Reminded me of one really amusing TV commercial for an airline. They really knew how to play to people's fears to get more paying passengers.
During Covid, they showed employees spraying some type of disinfectant on the empty seats while the announcer said, "We are committed to passenger safety on our airline during this epidemic. Fly with confidence."
Later, a news broadcast showed the commercial to an infectious disease specialist they had on their program to get his opinion on the effectiveness of spraying disinfectant on the seats.
He said, "Yes, that is effective, but only until more passengers board the plane."
LOL - That's what I was thinking & I'm no MD....

At our only supermarket, they were initially rigid in enforcing the mask mandate. Then, due to complaints and people going to the next town over, where they weren't so rigid, I was told by a supervisor that corporate told them that it wasn't their responsibility to enforce the mandate, as long as they put the signs up and had masks available for those who wanted them. Later during the fiasco, they started requiring masks in order to enter again, but any mask would work. I would sometimes go in wearing mosquito netting, while some others wore Halloween masks, and these would work, given that the supermarket employees didn't want to harass anyone, and that would give them plausible deniability. Further north in Maine, very few stores required it, even of employees. Our governor was a fanatic on the subject, but I don't think she really thought of anything north of Bangor as being relevant to her.

Getting back on topic, the lies, gaslighting, the mandates, and all of the other nonsense surrounding the COVID fiasco have led to a general distrust of government and the science around medicine in many of us. I am now skeptical of all vaccines, particularly MRNA ones.

Kenny I am so happy to hear this!

I was afraid to mention this on this site because most I thought took the shot and if I came out against it,members would get mad at me...

My whole family was conned.. My father believes the garbage they showed on TV.. We got in a fight about it again last week...

There is a reason they wanted people to stay home.. SO THEY HAD FULL CONTROL!! -- So people wouldnt see hospitals were not full like they were showing,etc....

Where I live they did not enforce masks.. A couple stores did though.. Trader Joes was one.. I went in did my shopping and they gave me my stuff for free..They wouldnt let me cash out,they wanted me out of there... Totally insane!!

2020 really showed me how people are and its sad.... They can be controlled so easily and WITH NO PROOF!!

Oh just stick some pictures on TV and make people think its this,that,etc....

Its sad about my friends... Thier father and mother also totally beleve this and its apparent they still do..

They are trying to get rid of me.. They lied to the police about me to get an order of protection issued... This is a family whose mother told me "We adopted you into the family" and then this... They have totally disowned me,have tried to eliminate all evidence they were ever my friends...

I have just been so sad about it.. Sad my dad wont help me,etc..

Im glad I can talk to you guys about this!


I love you all :)

I can understand that someone might believe what they are told by the media, politicians, doctors, and scientists. I get that, but the claims and mandates were so nonsensical that it seemed to me anyone who had more than a couple of brain cells rubbing together should be able to see through them. When I say this, I am implying not that they didn't have brain cells but that they weren't using them. A whole lot of people have been indoctrinated to let the experts do their thinking for them (the "I'm not an expert" excuse for not thinking), so I don't blame people who went along with it. At the same time, I respect those who were able to see through it. When it comes to mandates, it's even more defensible for someone to not want to violate what they may have viewed as a law. Hopefully, we don't all have to understand or appreciate the science behind hunting regulations to accept that we need a license to hunt and that there are various regulations that come with it, whether we agree with them or not. So, as pertaining to those who chose to do as they were told, that's even more understandable, although there is an extra bit of respect for those who decided to test the boundaries.

Some of those who got the vaccines, along with the boosters, might feel the need to defend their decision, given that it was already done, but I hope this doesn't set them up to fall for the next scam that comes along, because there will be others. The facts should be clearer to anyone who is willing to look at them today, and that's why I certainly wouldn't get an MRNA vaccine, and that's also why I am now skeptical of anything I'm told by medical science or the medical community. Many of them lied to us deliberately, while others didn't do due diligence, so I can't accept what they say at face value. That doesn't mean that everything they say is a lie or that all vaccines are bad, but it has become harder to tell the truth from the lie, or facts from fiction.
