Should vaccinate down to 6 months-olds. Pharmacies give out the most vaccinations. Quadravalent is the new vaccine, covers 4 strains of the flu virus. Predicted from the effect of flu in the Southern Hemisphere. This strain of flu is pretty bad in Australia, especially in the children.
– QUESTIONS FROM Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
1. The World Health Organization say NO ALCOHOL is good for you? (Yes, they said that, but the study meant it differently than it sounds. Means alcohol not wine is what they were dealing with. Red wine lowers cardio-vascular events in certain people. Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen.)
2. Biden and Pelosi both said Covid was over in 2020? Is it? Talk of new mandates? (Public health emergency is over. From a Pandemic to an Endemic w/ us every year, just as the flu is. Natural, baseline immunity has increased since the beginning of the Pandemic. Now many folks have “hybrid immunity”.)
