The American Association of Pensioners recommends… the eighth COVID vaccination… and then?

The AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) is a powerful US association , with millions of members, which works to protect retirees and lobby on their behalf. This group with 38 million members has advised its members to rush to get yet another booster or vaccination, which for many would be the eighth and it does so in its official bulletin !

AARP is open to anyone age 50 or older. The rubric does not specify a narrower or higher age range for its recommendation.

It therefore implies that even a fifty-year-old who has not already had six “Covid boosters” must “recover” immediately.

Be careful, those who have already had "five Covid boosters" have actually received seven mRNA vaccines – the initial two-shot primary vaccination regimen, followed by five boosters.

AARP therefore suggests that its members get the eighth mRNA vaccine in the last three years.

However, scientists have no safety data beyond the third injection, much less the fourth or more, and so have no way of knowing whether the risks of repeated dosing of mRNA increase with each injection.

AARP's shockingly misguided advice doesn't end there.

The column goes on to tell members that “the latest shot, released in September 2023, is not actually a booster. It is a new vaccine that affects the most recent variants."

A new vaccine?

If the vaccine is new then it has undergone the randomized trials required in the United States for any new drug or vaccine. Or not? Given the tight deadlines, it seems not. However, it is better to call it new, given that citizens, even elderly ones, are now very skeptical about Covid vaccines

But the article ends on a happy note: researchers are even working on a combined COVID-flu vaccine, so in a few years a single injection from your doctor or pharmacy could be enough to fully protect you.

The evil of the West is the lack of a plan B when plan A fails. And this is the failure of plan A.
