According to the CDC, all COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness. If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection.
While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely.
The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a “spike protein,” which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection.
In contrast to mRNA vaccines, many other vaccines use a piece of, or weakened version of, the germ that the vaccine protects against. This is how the measles and flu vaccines work. When a weakened or small part of the virus is introduced to your body, you make antibodies to help protect against future infection.
Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series, or 2 months after their initial Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine. People ages 16-17 may get a booster dose of Pfizer at least 6 months after their initial series of vaccines.
The CDC says A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible.
According to the CDC, Atrazine is a widely used chlorotriazine herbicide active against broadleaf and grassy weeds. Related chlorotriazine herbicides include simazine, propazine, and cyanazine, all which act by inhibiting plant photosynthesis. Atrazine is applied pre- and post-emergence to agricultural land for crops such as corn and sorghum. It is also used as a non-selective herbicide. Atrazine was first registered as an herbicide in 1958. More than 70 million pounds have been applied annually in recent years, with about 75% of corn cropland receiving treatment.Atrazine has limited water solubility and is not tightly bound to soil, but is leachable in to ground and surface waters. In regions where atrazine is used, it is one of the more commonly detected pesticides in surface and ground waters (USGS, 2007). In soils, atrazine is slowly degraded to dealkylated products, which have half-lives of several months. Bacteria and plants can metabolize atrazine to hydroxyatrazine. Atrazine does not bioaccumulate. It has little toxicity in birds and moderate toxicity in some fish and aquatic invertebrates. Atrazine may alter the sexual development of frogs at environmental levels (Gammon et al., 2005; Hayes et al., 2002; U.S.EPA, 2003a).

We "did our duty" in 2016, and the Democratic Party rigged it so we lost, even though we'd won. Nothing has changed in the years since. How do you propose we overcome the Democratic Party's air-tight *selection* process, which typically disenfranchises millions of voters via super-delegates, registration-flipping, opaque/paperless voting machines that don't match the exit polling, hundreds of precincts closed on the morning of the election, hundreds of thousands of voters simply removed from the rolls... what's your solution to this level of corruption? (I like RFK Jr, too, but like Bernie he refuses to call out the Democrats for their cheating and vows to support the ultra-fascist warmonger in the White House, after the bogus primary is all said and done. In other words, however much I respect his positions, he will never fight for us, but will instead bow to the far-right Biden, the neocon who has put us on the brink of World War III.)

When you study factual geopolitical history as an american with a conscience, it’s nearly impossible not to feel a sense of immense shame at what our government has done to inflict its imperialism across the globe, deliberately destroying and destabilizing for selfish desires of capital paid for by bullets, bombs and blood. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been proud to be an american. I think under an RFK, Jr. presidency, that view would change. No other candidate has given me that feeling.

If We, The People, have to Create a New Organizational Construct to be Recognized, So Be It.

[@awakenacres]

I talked to an older gentleman today who wasn’t even aware that Kennedy was running for president. So word of mouth is especially important. Not everyone gets their information from the internet.

[@ST-rt1qm]

@awakenacres583 such a good point about elders not even knowing he's running. They mostly watch tv news and still do paper newspapers which aren't reallly giving the REAL NEWS just following a narrative. Everyone should let older people in their lives KNOW ABOUT RFK JR. FOR PRESIDENT.

[@JSB1882]

Thank you for giving him an extended interview. RFK, Jr. is the best chance of getting this country on the tracks again. It's painful what the DNC and corporate media have done to him with their name calling and smears. We haven't seen a candidate with intellect, integrity, critical thought and humanity in a long time - maybe since his father ran.

This country Desperately needs RFK Jr.

[@scp240]

I saw RFK Jr speak on the Lincoln Memorial steps at the Stop the Mandates rally in January 2022, when it took a lot of guts to do so. I also saw him speak at the Ron Paul Institute in the fall of 2021 in front of a crowd of Libertarians who gave him a standing ovation. Both of these speeches were given during the height of the Covid insanity, when in Washington DC it was impossible to stay in a hotel or even use a public restroom without a vaccine certificate. I support him for this, and for his stance generally on health freedom, and for his position on Ukraine. I can find plenty of other issues where I have to hold my nose, but I am a Kennedy Democrat of the Old School and I will vote for him and contribute to his campaign.

The depth of Kennedy's knowledge on so many critical issues, particularly public health, the military-industrial complex grip on foreign policy, campaign financing and the corporate capture of Congress, is amazing. He knows how the ship of state works and not only how to steer it but how to repair it.

He inspires conviction burning deep within my heart. I speak not only as a concerned citizen but as a voice for millions who believe in the promise of a brighter future for our great nation. I urge you to consider the extraordinary leadership of one man who has the potential to guide us towards a renaissance of compassion, justice, and progress. I speak of none other than Robert F. Kennedy-the visionary leader who deserves our unwavering support to become the President of the United States. Robert F. Kennedy possesses a rare combination of profound intellect, genuine empathy, and an unyielding commitment to public service. He has long been a staunch advocate for the marginalized, a fierce defender of civil rights, and a tireless warrior against poverty. His unwavering dedication to fighting for the voiceless among us has earned him the status of a true American hero. But it is not just his passion that distinguishes him. It is his ability to inspire unity and heal the wounds of a divided nation. Kennedy’s empathetic spirit fosters hope in the hearts of those who have felt unheard and disenfranchised. He believes in a nation that is built on the principles of equality, justice, and dignity for all, regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic background. With him at the helm, we can reclaim the unity that defines the very essence of our nation.
