    How often do you need smallpox vaccine?

    To stay protected from smallpox, you should get booster vaccinations every 3 years. When there IS a smallpox outbreak, you should get the smallpox vaccine if you are directly exposed to smallpox virus.

    2-3 a year is quite different than once every 3 years.

    So is a pandemic of a mutating airborne virus compared to smallpox, but then again the facts are not what you all are seeking.

    Yep, you can be the first to get them a year too late and after the last variant is over. Thanks Dems. You can also get free (liberal MAGA hats) that the left calls masks. Biden has defeated the virus. Well, not really but he said he would.

    Too bad you cannot get anywhere near being truthful, but that is the nature of your politics.

    Some 458 local, state, tribal and federal officers died in the line of duty in 2021, according to a preliminary report from the National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum (NLEOMF). That makes an increase of 55% from the previous year's tally of 295 and the highest total number since 1930.

    "This year's statistics demonstrate that America's front-line law enforcement officers continue to battle the deadly effects of the Covid-19 pandemic nationwide," the report reads. "Preliminary data shows that some 301 officer fatalities have been identified as caused by Covid this year, and this number appears to increase almost daily."

    COVID-19: Elimination isn't 'going to be possible with this virus,' virologist says

    COVID-19: 'There's still a lot more that the government could be doing,' virologist says

    Angela Rasmussen, a virologist and at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan, told Yahoo Finance Live that ending the COVID-19 pandemic isn't likely to end anytime soon. "Endemicity is what we're really talking about," she said.

    One reason COVID-19 may be here to stay is because of its ability to infect different animals. "I don't think that elimination is going to be possible with this virus. This virus infects a number of different animal species ... and even if every human being on the planet [were] vaccinated, there's still potentially susceptible hosts in the form of other animals that this virus could get into," Rasmussen said.

    New variants
    The threat of new variants — including ones that evade vaccines — lingers around the world.

    The World Health Organization's director of emergency program, Dr. Mike Ryan, said as much at the World Economic Forum's virtual Davos event this year.

    "We won't end the virus this year, we may never end the virus. These pandemic viruses end up becoming part of the ecosystem," Ryan said.

    "People talk about pandemic vs. endemic. This word 'endemic.' Endemic malaria kills hundreds of thousands of people, endemic HIV, endemic violence in our inner cities. 'Endemic' in itself does not mean good. 'Endemic' just means it is here forever," Ryan added.

    He noted that the only major milestone the world can hit is rolling back the public health emergency status.

    Fauci recently said the best-case scenario for 2022 is that the virus subsides to more manageable levels. But in the worst case, the U.S. could be hit by another, harsher variant — just as Omicron struck when the Delta variant was subsiding.

    Rasmussen noted that even as Omicron has been surging and cresting faster than previous variants and causing milder symptoms, that doesn't mean the next variant will be moderate.

    "We may not be so lucky next time. If its significantly different than Omicron, or any of the other variants that have circulated before, there's certainly the possibility of more breakthrough infections, and there's certainly the possibility of a variant that is more pathogenic," Rasmussen said.

    They are mandated to be readily available and accessible ....

    • To meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements, a recreational vessel must have a U.S. Coast Guard Approved lifejacket for each person aboard.

    The meme did not say mandated to wear either, but you tried to skew it to fit the ignorance of your position.
