The Donnie Brasco actress is expected to be taken off ventilator after organ transplant recipients are determined following her deadly car accident in Los Angeles.
people do not need to go out and get a booster shot. what changed? well, so i want to make the distinction. this is specifically when we talk about the immunocompromised population, we re talking about 3% of our population. we know that if you are an organ transplant recipient and you re on medications or you re getting treatment for cancer, that you may not have been able to mount a strong immune protective response when you got your first two shots of the vaccine. so that s why the fda is working closely with the vaccine manufacturers to make sure that we can get a third dose to immunocompromised individuals. we re hoping to move that as quickly as possible, because we want to protect these individuals from covid to the greatest extent we can. so the day after you said that people don t need a booster shot, and i understand you were
potent. it causes illness with very high viral loads. and in the wrong setting, it can overwhelm in certain cases vaccine protection. but the vast majority, almost everyone who acquires this virus who has been vaccinated will have relatively mild illness or even be asymptomatic. very few people are hospitalized who have been vaccinated, and almost no one has died. so, we have a solution, the solution is vaccination. and what about transmission, though? i think that s a big question, too. again, for parents with young kids who can t get vaccinated. if i had little kids at home, i would mask up in public to prevent the unlikely but possible scenario of bringing the virus home. likewise, if i live with someone who is a solid organ transplant recipient or was somehow otherwise immunocompromised, i would mask up in public to prevent inadvertently bringing the virus home and infecting
number two, it s the example you want to set. i thought mr. beasley s statement was sophomoric and selfish. this is not just about him. it s about his community. there are 50 million children under the age of 12 that can t be vaccinated now. so his infection is a threat to them. there are many thousands of people who are immunocompromised because of either cancer or they are an organ transplant recipient or take medications that lessen their immune response. they remain vulnerable. and his intransigence puts them at risk. he had this full bravado statement where he said he d rather die living. well, i ve seen a lot of people with this kind of false bravery, right up until the point they re paralyzed and intubated in the icu all alone. so spare me. yeah. it s important to remember, he is an expert in catching footballs, not in deadly diseases like the coronavirus, right, dr. reiner? i don t catch footballs.
