The only news sources I watch are Covid news from either CPAC Quebec, TV5 (France), Euronews or CNN United States and I read occasionally the WHO website, and CDC website.
Not once did I hear nor read anything as you stated...
Once again...not once did I see any of the above early in the vaccine rollout. In contrast, I heard they didn't know if it can still carry Covid and then spread to another person (e.g. family member or child) which is why they still had the face mask wear recommendations...
It resulted in some states (e.g. Florida and Texas) specifically stating they are not going to follow the face mask wear / social distancing recommendation to instead fully open as normal... their way of getting back to normal.
They often stated Covid is new...still is new and the
science will be changing a lot as they learn more. Anyways, we argue before about this specific issue back early last year in the Pandemic...that the science will be changing a lot because of the Novel Coronavirus.
Anyways, I do remember a few medical Covid guests on CPAC Quebec and CNN stating they didn't expect life to return back to normal (if everybody co-operated) until maybe the end of 2021.
Well, we all know what happened next...people did not co-operate. Yet, I do remember a speech by Biden on national TV wanting a percentage vaccinated goal by July 4th (I think) in which people can gather in their homes with a small number of guests.
- CDC has been saying people should talk to their own Doctors. Therefore, it will be the Doctors responsibility to tell their clients if Vitamin D, Zinc, or any other over the counter prevention treatment is suitable.
By the way, my Doctor recommended Vitamin D and Zinc last May 2020 when I took my kids in for their physical. I responded...I've been taking them since my teenage years for my nutrition needs due to the demands on my body when I competed in sports (rowing/judo).
My brother (a Doctor in South Dakota) recommends Vitamin D, Zinc, and Vitamin C and so does my sister (a nurse) to family and friends. My point, if you're waiting for the CDC to do the things your Doctor should be doing... it's time for you to get a new Doctor.
Also, everybody knows that
ethnic communities are hit hard by Covid...not just Hispanics and Blacks.
In my area...we're heavy with Québécois, Irish, Italians, and
Indigenous Canadians. These are also the largest infected people with Covid. My girlfriend (a ICU nurse) has seen Covid patients that are the above-mentioned groups with other lesser percentages of German, Belgium, Portuguese, Jewish and Chinese.
She has only had one Hispanic patient but she said he was Black Hispanic (very dark-skinned). All the above ethnic communities.
Reality, people are assholes and not willing to do their part to get back to normal. Expecting the CDC to do everything for you...not good. If anything, just run the math if you don't trust the CDC.
I wouldn't listen to any news story about booster shots unless its specific to your region (not somewhere else). As the CDC person stated, Covid will be here most likely like the FLU shot...people will need to get a booster only when the efficacy of the current vaccines drops to a level that requires such.
Seriously, how long did it take North America to normalize Influenza (we typically only get the FLU vaccine every few years) or whenever there's an outbreak in the community you reside ?
Yet, most Doctors will say that we should get the FLU vaccine every year prior to the fall FLU season hitting us. How often do you bitch about getting the FLU shot every few years ???
Personally, I'm good with getting the FLU vaccine every two years. Maybe I will get it more often (yearly) as I get a little older.
P.S. In 1918 when the FLU Pandemic hit...try to guess how many times did science change from 1918 to 1920 involving the Influenza virus ???
Hint - A lot more than the science involving Covid and that's only because we now have much better technology, better contact tracing, better border controls and better medicine.
P.S.S. Be careful of the
black market...there's a lot of bogus (copy) Vaccines and Ivermectin out there now that's being sold. I wrote about this in the health science section
