An RSV Vaccine for Infants

Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, strikes fear into the hearts of parents, especially those with very young babies. It’s not very kind to other compromised populations, either. We’ve been working toward a vaccine for a long time, and it looks like we’re close to those efforts paying off.

My niece got rsv when she was a toddler. It was horrible, and if my sister and brother-in-law hadn’t had Medicaid coverage for her bills, they probably would have been ruined by the costs. Progress for this vaccine is excellent news.

[@keywee849]

The reason why babies are injected with POISON, metals, cancer, AIDS & animal virus, is because people are ignorant.

[@bethn2836]

My good friend’s sweet infant son passed away from complications due to RSV last December. It’s been heartbreaking for her and her family. I’m excited and hopeful to see more options becoming available to help protect our littlest ones, and elderly loved ones as well.

[@DudeWhoSaysDeez]

Thats so sad :(

[@bethn2836]

@@DudeWhoSaysDeez it really is. 💔

@@bethn2836 No vaccines for infants = no suffering later in life. WE HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM, we need NOT masons poisons. To boost our immune system is easy also: alone with GOD - through HIS WORD - BIBLE in nature or indoors. physical activity in outside doors. We are DUST and shall return back to DUST. We are not man made in lab, that we should need man made pills. medicine is business, which is build on sick people. Well, nobody born sick, therefore how can medicine survive as just business? - through turning healthy into sick. 1st fear propaganda: all these illnesses we suffer if not poison ourselves aka vaccinate. then they come to us with these needles and sick we are into our graves. So far is just because of FEAR PROPAGANDA that sends souls to vaccinate themselves. The flue seasons = immune system testing season, to show us, does our immune system still work in all these ways it should. Flue is not sickness for the needle.

[@lydialutz]

Yes, my son was in the hospital more than 2 weeks with RSV when he was 9 months old. This is exciting news.

[@sneakerbabeful]

I'm glad your son is ok now.

[@keywee849]

How many POISONS, metals, cancers & animal viruses did you have him injected with? Read vaccine inserts before showing your ignorance.

[@mattatron64]

I'm very excited for this. I have friends with infants that have caught RSV multiple times and it's scary and exhausting for the parents. Thanks for the update!

[@PeterPlattDeveloper]

This is great news. My daughter got RSV when she was 2 months old. The hospitalization as a result was trying.

[@adambanks382]

Don't do it. Even under the circumstance she has natural immunity. This is still a novel experimental pharmaceutical product. Think, use logic, they want to sell you something No, worse, experiment. She's at risk for CNS damage and myocarditis from "spike protein" she has no opportunity to consent to long term risk.

[@keywee849]

Read the vaccine insert, before showing your ignorance to the world. Breast cancer cells are in the RSV vaccine.

[@CG_Hali]

Today I learned RSV isn't just dangerous for children. We're also immuno-compromised, still doing all the same protection against covid as during the pandemic though (N95, etc) but still it's good to know to watch out for when this vaccine becomes available. Hopefully it will be offered for disabled/immuno-compromised but non-senior adults which tends to be often forgotten even though our health can be way worse than many over 60.

[@sporkredfox9884]

I was under the impression the rsv for pregnant mothers was approves, so approves by advisory committee but not widely available. Is there a way to get it/be a part of early study in the us? My spouse is pregnant and will be having the baby in october

[@AlisterPuddifer]

I'm so glad we're finally getting a solution to a problem which I somehow have never even heard of. Not sure how that one passed me by.

[@SterbsMcGurbs]

My daughter had RSV. She had to be flown from our local hospital to the nearest childrens hospital. She was there for 3 days.

[@garlicneggplant9846]

Learning this while cuddling my three day old infant. It's good news.

[@sneakerbabeful]

Congratulations! May your little one grow healthy & strong.

[@oswaldcobblepot502]

You should take a look at what happened the last time they administered a vaccine for RSV. It was a disaster... Just something to take into consideration.

[@kieleyevatt2232]

Could you do a video on food dyes? Particularly the ones made from sources like coal tar and petroleum byproducts?

[@emma70707]

Awesome news! RSV is such a burden to the young and old. It would be great to have an effective vaccine widely available.

[@keywee849]

When everyone injecting children with POISON is EX£¢UTED, debate over.

[@jamesc9168]

nope. no thanks. still having major problems from the J&J. Everyone should be wary. I can't even get a diagnosis other than "tinnitus" and it has been 2 years now. All I will say is tinnitus is an understatement.... more like nonstop misery every day of my life now. The worst part is I that I have been left completely on my own to deal with it. J&J lists "persistent ringing in the ears" as a side effect now. But the FDA says the opposite. Maybe the FDA should get their story straight.

[@user-ld5tl2bn9l]

Thank you! I just turned 65!

[@thehomeschoolinglibrarian]

I am not sure if my daughter who is nearly 4 ever had RSV. She is one of those kids who spent all but the first 6 months of her baby and early toddler hood during lockdowns. It will be interesting to see how COVID 19 and it's lockdowns changed the babies and toddlers who grew up during this time.

[@darfjono]

test after release? isn't that the opposite of how it should be?

[@ArielAlvFal]

This is the kind of paper that I fell like a great win for health overall. Generally what we get is a high cost, very specifical drug, that reduces hospitalizations (but not death) from a rare condition. 😂😂 This has a direct impact on the public health, health costs and more! I mean, it may, hypothetically, reduce the onset or even prevent new cases of asthma.

[@vevenaneathna]

the trial was ended early by the fda because of that "small concern" for preterm births

[@diyeana]

I'm 49 and have never had RSV. The Red Cross loves my blood. I hope this vaccine sticks in its safety monitoring.

[@keywee849]

Breast cancer cells are in the RSV vaccine.

[@biophile2]

I expect that I be requesting this vaccine 💉 from my primary care doctor when turn 65 in what seems like an impossibly too few years. 😁 When discussing relative risk, in this case relative risk reduction, you often also mention absolute risk reduction. You gave the apparent absolute risk for the side effects of greatest concern. What is the absolute risk reduction of disease and severe disease with the vaccine?

[@keywee849]

There's no excuse for ignorance at 65. Read the vaccine insert, breast cancer cells are in the RSV vaccine.

[@aaa303]

Why is there only a focus on protecting infants if the elderly are also vulnerable? Is no one pursuing a vaccine for the elderly or just adults in general?

[@creshiell]

There already is one!

[@aaa303]

@@creshiell Then I'm confused about the reason for bringing up the statistics for RSV in the elderly. Was this for a vaccinated or unvaccinated population? And if adult mothers are already able to get vaccinated, why the need for a new, special vaccine for them to be able to pass antibodies to their babies?

[@keywee849]

Please read vaccine inserts, all vaccines are POISONS, metals, cancers & animal viruses.

[@healthcaretriage]

The first vaccine we discuss in the video (Arexvy) is the one just approved for those 65 and older! I think our video title may have led to some confusion - we discuss vaccines for both populations in this video. :) -Tiffany
