~~It's not a new thing, but I think the shots were mainly given to kids in the past.~~ But the symptoms can mimic Covid, so I think they have started advising more adults to get the shots.
RSV isn't a new thing, but the vaccine apparently is. See the reply. Below
You are 100% full of shit. The RSV vaccine has not caused infant deaths. Stop spreading vaccine fear without checking your facts.

A quick google search shows that the RSV vaccine was recently approved for babies. And I know for a fact the RSV vaccine was given to high risk infants last year.
Edit: While I thank you for editing to remove the bullshit about the vaccine killing infants, referencing 2 vaccine deaths from a trial in the 1960s adds nothing to the conversation besides confusion.
You absolutely did say that the trials killed infants. You only suddenly started mentioning a trial from sixty fucking years ago because I called you out. How does an ancient trial have any bearing on today’s vaccines? Why bother? Why did you say specifically that vaccines were only approved for seniors when they have been approved for babies? What is your motive for spreading confusion?
