Part of that gap stems from the required three- to four-week       wait time between doses.              But in millions of the cases, Americans have not gotten their second shot       by choice or because of supply issues, the New York Times said, quoting       CDC statistics through April 9, the most recent available.              The worrisome figure comes as the result of US residents fearing reported       flu-like side effects from the follow-up immunization, the belief that       they have enough immunity off the first shot — and continuing vaccine       shortages in some areas of the country.              “I’m very worried — because you need that second dose,” said Dr. Paul       Offit, who teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and is a member of       the FDA’s vaccine advisory panel, to the outlet.              Medical experts have said there is growing evidence that forgoing a second       dose of the two-shot coronavirus immunizations currently on the US market,       from Pfizer and Moderna, can leave people more vulnerable to the disease’s       highly transmissible variants. In addition, it is unclear how long the       protection from a single shot might last.              A headache after his first shot of Moderna was enough to help convince       religious studies Professor Zvi Ish-Shalom of Boulder, Colo., to forgo a       second dose, even though there is no proof that his malady was caused by       the immunization, the Times said.              “At this point in time, I feel very clear and very comfortable, given all       the various elements of this equation, to forgo the second shot,” Ish-       Shalom said.              Susan Ruel, 67, said she tried to get her second dose of Pfizer at two       different Walgreens pharmacies in Manhattan at one point but was told it       was out of stock.              She got her second shot at a third Walgreens the next day — but said many       people might not be as persistent as she is.              “All you need is hassles like this,” Ruel told the Times.              The third FDA-approved vaccine, from Johnson & Johnson, was hailed as a       potential game-changer when it got the emergency greenlight for use from       the federal agency in late February because it is a single-dose shot and       can be stored without extreme refrigeration temps.              Then came reports of deadly blood clots from a handful of female       recipients in the US — and the vaccine was yanked from use.              On Friday, after a review of the J&J cases, a key FDA advisory panel       recommended the pause on the shot be lifted, saying the vaccine was indeed       safe, and the FDA and CDC quickly announced that use of it should resume.              States such as New York said they would immediately start using the       single-dose immunization again.                            --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
