It wasn't part of the public comment section (so it wasn't some rando), though I'm not sure what her relation is to the CDC other than that she was presenting data that they specifically asked for.

Holy poo poo. Somebody actually pointed out that the J&J folks are getting left out in the cold.

Of course, they used that to pivot to "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and "we need to focus on getting people vaccinated in the first place" in order to state opposition to boosters.

Not as of yet, but I bet it'll factor into "policy question #3" if they approve that one.

Policy question #1: Should adults >= 65 years of age and LTCF (long-term care facility) residents receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose?

Policy question #2: Should adults 18-64 years of age at risk for severe COVID-19 due to underlying medical conditions receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose?

Policy question #3: Should adults 18-64 years of age at risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure due to occupation/setting receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose?

Somebody who sounds like they're about to cry just pointed out that people who got vaxxed already feel like it was a magic bullet and did a bunch of stupid poo poo in response. But apparently we shouldn't "just keep giving booster doses to the vaccinated". So we should gate #2 and #3 to 50-64 in order not to imply that already-vaccinated people aren't protected.

These people all have brainworms.

Vax to School: Ohio giving away 55 scholarships to vaccinated students

quote:

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
The state of Ohio is offering a new vaccination incentive targeted at younger people.

Dubbed the Ohio Vax To School program, the state will give away 55 scholarships to Ohioans who have been vaccinated.

This applies to anyone who has already been fully vaccinated or individuals — aged 12 to 25 — who have received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Five of those scholarships will be worth $100,000, good for any Ohio university, technical school or career training. In addition, the state will give away 50 $10,000 scholarships to those eligible.

Gov. Mike DeWine announced the new program Thursday, saying money will come from existing coronavirus relief programs. Officials with the Ohio Department of Health will announce details on how to sign up in the coming days.

It's a similar program to Ohio's initial Vax a Million program, a lottery system that gave away $1 million to adults, and full-ride scholarships to vaccinated individuals under the age of 18.

The governor said the new program takes aim at an alarming trend in the state's younger population.

The vaccination rate of those over the age of 40 in the state of Ohio is 73%, the governor said, while the vaccination rate of those between the ages of 12 and 25 is just 46%.

"More children are sick. Not just with COVID, but with other respiratory illnesses causing a strain on the children’s health systems,” DeWine said.

The governor said the ultimate goal is keeping children in the classroom, and to prevent pediatric hospitals from becoming overrun.

“Vaccinations remain – clearly – the most potent tool we have to protect Ohioans from COVID,” he said.

On Tuesday, Ohio reported 459 new hospitalizations, the highest number since January.

The number of new hospitalizations for COVID-19 of those under 50 was the highest during the entire pandemic during the week of Sept. 5, when Ohio hospitals admitted 398 patients under the age of 50.

During the most recent completed reporting week (Sept. 5-11), 230 Ohioans 39 and younger were admitted to the hospital, the governor said, which is the highest number of admissions for COVID-19 in this age group during the entire pandemic, even higher than during the winter surge levels when no one was vaccinated.

Around 97% of patients of all ages in Ohio hospitals today are unvaccinated.

The governor and health officials used the newest numbers to echo their calls to the public to get vaccinated.

"If you are young and unvaccinated it's now probably only a question of when, not if, you get COVID-19," said Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, director of the Ohio Department of Health. "When you get COVID-19 without the protection of a vaccine, there is a very real risk you'll end up in the hospital or the obituary pages. The numbers really tell it all, COVID has changed and is now making younger Ohioans who are not vaccinated very sick. Don't become a statistic when there is a simple, safe, and effective alternative. Go out today and get vaccinated."

In July, 48% of COVID-19 deaths were among those 69 years old and younger. In August, preliminary data shows that an average of two people younger than 50 died of COVID-19 in Ohio every day, Vanderhoff said.
