I thought these wete inflammatory and over the top comments.

NOPE

Its legit antivax stuff

Wow! This should be illegal. The claims are barely or not at all supported by the citations.

At best the SG is uneducated and mislead or actively malicious at worst. Most likely, I would guess this is politically motivated due to the upcoming election.

Is this like an official government department?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it is an official government website (ends in .gov) and that is some prime antivaxx bullshit aimed to discourage people from getting vaccinated.

This is actively malicous and will result in more deaths and people suffering from long term covid. I hope that there is a method for suing to get that pulled down and action taken against whoever had it put there as public health officials discouraging safe and effective practices should be illegal.

If that's the case, this is some scary shit. Who's responsible for approving this? It s probably newsworthy that an official government body would put this up as guidance.

Joseph Ladapo was handpicked by the governer during covid. The governor was fully aware of his views, and was chosen on purpose.

His policys from ending school quarantines to sending kids to school with measles, have been widely publicized. He even has been caught altering covid vaccine data to fit his narrative. The CDC even rebuked him in a letter .

Despite being found altering data, he was confirmed for a second term.

Are people still doing boosters?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Just like people have always been getting Flu boosters, yes

[–] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes the boosters are still being offered and people who care about catching or transmiting covid are getting them. If you are interested the current crop of boosters includes the most recent major variant that has been causing the spike. If you don't have insurance your state or local government should have an access program if you want a booster.

Thank you for an informative and non-snarky answer.
