Public health experts 'horrified'​

Health advocates and experts immediately condemned the department's new approach after it was revealed on Friday.

In a statement on Friday, Jennifer Herricks, founder of the advocacy organization Louisiana Families for Vaccines wrote that she was "horrified" by the change and that the state health department is "putting politics ahead of the health of our residents."

Another bullshit health advocate make pretend authority wailing about everyone continuing the experimental vax.

 

[Arlette]

And just like that.

"My body my choice" turns out to be another democrat hoax.



State health officials say that Louisiana residents should decide for themselves whether to get vaccinated, especially for COVID-19 and influenza

The flu is contagious. An abortion is not.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Never took one, fool....I'm still smart enough to know it was just a bad cold.

What is worse than a cold?
Oh' darn, the FLU.

Louisiana banned its public health entities from recommending vaccines. Shockingly its way ahead of the country in flu and MPOX. Thoughts?

Flu surges in Louisiana as health department barred from promoting flu shots

Flu is rising around the country, but Louisiana is well ahead of the curve.

Flu season is ramping up across the US, but Louisiana—the state that has reportedly barred its health department from promoting flu shots, as well as COVID-19 and mpox vaccines—is leading the country with an early and strong surge.

Louisiana's flu activity has reached the "Very High" category set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the latest data. The 13-category scale is based on the percentage of doctor's visits that were for influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) in the previous week. Louisiana is at the first of three "Very High" levels. Oregon is the only other state to have reached this level. The rest of the country spans the scale, with 13 jurisdictions at "High," including New York City and Washington, DC. There are 11 at "Moderate," 10 at "Low," and 19 at "Minimal."
Last week, NPR, KFF Health News, and New Orleans Public Radio WWNO reported that the state had forbidden the health department and its workers from promoting annual flu shots, as well as vaccines for COVID-19 and mpox. The policy was explicitly kept quiet and officials have avoided putting it in writing.

So Louisana just caught up to Oregon, DC and NYC…that’s too bad, not good areas to follow.

 

[Care4all]

My body, my choice. Right?

I've never had a flu vax and never will.

And I don’t want public money spent on advertising it.

If you want a vax, go get one. Bill your insurance company.

Merry Christmas!
Pretty uninformed and ungrateful! Those getting the flu vaccine reduce the unvaccinated chance of getting the flu. The more who have been vaccinated, the less the flu spreads....5 or so less people catch it, per each person vaccinated....so less people catch the flu that are not vaccinated.

I never got the flu shot either, was just like you, until about 10 or 15 years ago and never caught the flu either....but my Doc explained it to me.....the more people vaccinated for it, the less chance an unvaccinated person will come in contact with a person who has the flu.

Most all infectious disease vaccines work that way, with the exception of the Covid vaccine.

I’ve heard of herd immunity before too. Interesting theory

To compare you would have to show the coastal areas vs. the MAGA areas.

.

Oh, when did they move all the MAGAs out of the coastal areas?

One can cultivate an immunological response without chemicals, but such homeopathic methods are painted pseudoscientific because they're not profitable

Louisiana is well ahead​

More than 11 percent of flu tests in Louisiana were positive, compared to a 3.5 percent positivity rate nationwide.

Your argument is Oregon is promoting the shot and Louisiana is not, yet both are high in cases compared to the national average. This suggests promotion, or lack thereof, is not the issue.

F them.

It's a red state and one of the poorest and least educated states in the US. Apparently, Republicans want it to faller further down the health ladder too.

Omg of someone, anyone, would tell the people of New Orleans about the Flu!

Indeed. Its not sane.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Regardless, the "flu vaccine" is still a flat out guess.

The only way I'm having any of BigPharm's juice pumped into me is if they know it will be effective.

I spent New Year's Eve in the hospital with the flu. The annual flu shot is ineffective. According to the hospital this is Type A influenza and it is rampant, deadly and highly contagious. I am in isolation until Monday. Oh, there are no antibiotics to help. I get steroid shots and an albuterol inhaler.
