Biden, RFK JR Neck And Neck Amongst Americans In NEW Shock Poll

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.

Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. A study by The Cleveland Clinic found that both previous infection and vaccination provide substantial protection against COVID-19. Vaccination of previously infected individuals does not provide additional protection against COVID-19 for several months, but after that provides significant protection at least against symptomatic COVID-19.

[Christie-uteg]

This lady’s elitist, dismissive description of Kennedy makes her sound foolish.

[ShawnFoote]

Liz's smug dismissal of RFKs positions shows how little she knows about these subjects. Like so many in media and in society, they know nothing themselves and yet blindly follow and parrot the status quo.

[QuatMan]

This lady is terrified of RFK Jr😂😂😂 She has just made up an entire fairytale!

[diligentmaniac]

Liz just discredited the entire segment in less than ten seconds. Objectivity isn't her strength.

[skillegs]

Liz was the worst add to a program not recognizing the truths on both sides. Calling a respectable man as a crazy person is insane plant to me

[SeekingFreedom]

Liz should go work for MSNBC. Geez The Hill, where did y’all find this hack?? And thank You Brie for actually pushing back.

[MrPaweee]

Liz is working for establishment. Thats for sure. RFK is hope.

[robertciabattoni]

As soon as she said “he’s kind of a wackadoodle nut job conspiracy theorist” I realized this report would have no journalistic integrity at all.

[woeshdad]

Kennedy is ahead of Biden by far. He is a great Democrat. I am a Republican

[jenbrez]

Wow she understood the assignment. Her job was to get out there and smear rfk jr. Pull no punches, they've got to slow this train down. The overlords must be freaking out. It makes me giggle with glee.

[CARINGED]

calling him a 'whack a doodle conspiracy nut job' was horrible. Why wasn't she called out!

[consciouscrypto]

I'm in that 20%. I wasn't planning to vote in the 2024 election at all, until RFK Jr. put his hat in. I'll vote for him or no one.

[jevans]

Liz smeared herself by making an unnecessary and predudicial declaration about Kennedy before even starting. I didn’t even want to hear what she had to say . I think she needs to do some homework before pontificating. Rising lost points on her.

[maggienicols-anothervoice]

This woman is so disrespectful of somebody who listened to the concerns of parents with vaccine injured children and then researched it thoroughly. Since when was science a dogma rather than an ongoing process.

[kcowgirl]

Liz Wolfe's descriptors of RFKJr tell us more about herself than him.

[rostgrassfieldland]

Bri thank you on pressing on her, she is the establishment defender. Shame on her for trying so hard to construct conspiratorial reality to stigmatize JFK J

[markanderson]

If she is offended by RFKs previous statements, I would love to hear her defend Joe Biden’s 40 year record and statements. Anybody but Biden

[tinaify]

Bri, good job on your non-bias opinions today. However, that Liz Wolfe person needs to be on MSNBC. Her dislike for RFK could not have been more obvious, and unfair. Please don't invite her back.

[arrowinstall]

Liz is doing more for RFK JR than she even realizes...

[wasmara]

She is uninformed. Remember how many 'conspiracies' turned out to be true? Listen to what he says before believing labels.
