The CDC recommends updated COVID and flu vaccines for all Americans aged six months and over
Everyone aged six months and older should receive an “updated” COVID-19 vaccine this fall, according to new recommendations issued by the CDC.
The CDC also recommended that everyone aged six months and older receive an “updated” flu vaccine as well.
The recommendations were issued in a media release on Monday.
“CDC recommends everyone ages 6 months and older receive an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine to protect against the potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 this fall and winter whether or not they have ever previously been vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine,” the recommendation states.
“Updated COVID-19 vaccines will be available from Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer later this year. This recommendation will take effect as soon as the new vaccines are available.
“The virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, is always changing and protection from COVID-19 vaccines declines over time. Receiving an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine can restore and enhance protection against the virus variants currently responsible for most infections and hospitalizations in the United States. COVID-19 vaccination also reduces the chance of suffering the effects of Long COVID, which can develop during or following acute infection and last for an extended duration.”
The recommendation claims that “people who received a 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine saw greater protection against illness and hospitalization than those who did not receive a 2023-2024 vaccine,” and adds that “hundreds of millions of people have safely received a COVID-19 vaccine under the most intense vaccine safety monitoring in United States history.”
The new recommendation was greeted with anger and ridicule on social media.
Biologist Bret Weinstein gave a blistering response on Twitter.
“In Fahrenheit 451, “firemen” are transformed from emergency workers into book-burning agents of censorship. Something similar is happening to the CDC, where an agency created to control the spread of disease is now spreading medical lies and peddling iatrogenic poison.”
Dr Peter McCullough’s McCullough Foundation cited a study that shows vaccination against COVID-19 is “useless and harmful in children and adolescents.”
“The OpenSAFELY study included more than 1 million adolescents and children,” the Foundation’s account Tweeted.

“Myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in COVID-19 vaccinated groups and not after COVID-19 infection. There were no COVID-19-related deaths in any group. A&E attendance and unplanned hospitalization were higher after first vaccination compared to unvaccinated groups.”
Others were more blunt in their response.
“I recommend the CDC go f**k themselves,” commented one Twitter user.
