Except that - CDC does NOT, has NOT recognized the immune system damage, and does NOT, has NOT recommended routine revaccination.

As a result, Medicare and insurers will neither a;prove nor pay for them. And pharmacists and doctors are barred from providing them.

Whether you want them, or need them, you cannot have them.

That has nothing to do with safety, efficacy or need. It all has to do with $$$ and politics.

Even Adults May Soon Be Vulnerable to ‘Childhood’ Diseases
#Outbreaks among the #unvaccinated are a predictable consequence of falling immunization rates. But even #vaccinated adults may be vulnerable to some illnesses.
There were more than 32,000 cases of #whoopingcough in #2024.
#Antivaccine campaigns often targeted the #MMR #vaccine, which protects against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Experts tend to worry most about a resurgence of measles.

New polling finds only 67 per cent of Canadian parents say they would vaccinate their child "without reservation," down from 88% five years ago.

"We don't believe vaccines work"

Unfortunately, medical advancement has created this false sense of security in younger adults that all childhood illnesses are mild or treatable.

#Measles outbreaks cause alarm: what the data say nature.com/articles/d41586-024 “On 19 January, the UK Health Security Agency (#UKHSA), the public-health authority, declared a national incident over rising cases of measles. The agency has logged more than 300 cases in England since 1 October 2023

A decline in uptake of the #measles, #mumps and #rubella (#MMR) vaccine, which is given in two doses, during the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the spread of the disease across England and the rest of Europe”
