The first shot that protects all infants against respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, won the unanimous backing of an advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday.

    Anyone with a small child very clearly remembers how brutal last years RSV season was. I bet adoption is going to be high, get it before they have supply constraints.

      It will continue to get worse due to the antivax movement. They will go full swing against this vaccine.

      It’s unfortunate that in the 21st century, we are moving backward in the world. We should be exploring the universe and cure all diseases. Yet, we have a large majority of Americans who want to take us backward.

        And I think it’s going to be completely reasonable when parents of young children state those that refuse the vaccine aren’t going anywhere near their kids

      My kids got it, I got it.

      It took me weeks to recover. I know they say it usually don’t hit adults too hard, but damn I was miserable.

      All the jokers who came in my store saying, “I gawts thuh awr ays veeee” knowing I have babies too. If I ever lost my damn mind and just started cracking skulls it would be because some sick jackass knowingly coughs at me.

      I’m thankful that parents will have this. My poor little babies just cried and moped for days.
