The recent White House guidance for people to take the bivalent BA.5 Covid-19 booster vaccine concurrently with the influenza shot was clearly not based on evidence. It’s immunology 101 that introducing multiple antigens simultaneously will generally reduce the immune response to each antigen. However, that didn’t stop the current heads of the executive branch of government from issuing their flippant comment that God gave us two arms so we could be vaccinated in each one simultaneously. A truly insensitive, frankly bizarre, and definitely inappropriate comment made by Biden’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha.
