The Booster Trap

First, let’s clear up a misunderstanding. Some people think that a COVID booster is different from a COVID vaccine, but that’s not true. There is no difference between a manufacturer’s booster and its primary vaccine series. Both come from the same vial. There’s been no change in the formulas that were first authorized last year. Pfizer and Janssen boosters are even the dosed the same as a single shot from the primary series. Moderna boosters are half doses of a single shot from its primary series. Either way, the booster shot is just more of the same. If you want to fact-check me on this, read the FDA’s Fact Sheets for the Pfizer Purple, Moderna, and Janssen, the only available vaccines with boosters permitted in the U.S.

There are also those who believe that the vaccines available today are different that the vaccines that were given last winter, but that’s another misunderstanding.  The original vaccine was targeted against the Wuhan strain, but even though that strain is no longer present in the community, vaccines given today are the same as the ones first authorized.  There has been no change in vaccine formulas.  You can fact check me by reading the FDA authorization letters for the available vaccines (Phizer, Moderna, and Janssen) which detail their regulatory histories.

Why the push for boosters?  It turns out that the immune response induced by vaccine wanes significantly after 6 months.  The booster is thought to drive antibody levels higher, and, the theory goes, it’s the antibody levels that protect the vaccinated from infection.  Boosters have been authorized for all Americans over 18 years of age, 6 months after completion of an mRNA primary vaccine series (Pfizer and Moderna) or 2 months after the Janssen injection.   Janssen’s booster interval is shorter because Janssen has the lowest immunogenic effect of the three authorized vaccines.  Janssen-induced antibodies wane earlier.

Everything above this paragraph is an objective report of the current vaccine landscape.  Now I’m going to predict the future.  When I look in my crystal ball, here’s what I see coming.

Janssen will go from a single injection to a two-shot series, separated by 6-8 weeks.  Then Janssen’s booster interval will be set at 6 months, just like the other vaccines.  So far, only one booster has been authorized, but expect booster authorizations to go on an every six-month renewal cycle.  

The definition of “fully vaccinated” will change to include a current booster. If it’s been more than six months since your last booster, your vaccination status will expire. It will take a computer to keep up with everyone’s expirations, so vaccine passports will be tracked on your smartphone. This passport will be connected to other data on your phone—where you go, what you tweet, who your friends are—to create a social credit score that will be used, along with your vaccine passport, to restrict or permit access to products, services, and transportation. Since your financial institutions are probably already connected to your smartphone, it will only take the flip of a switch to turn off access to buying power. That should incentivize citizens to maintain good scores.

And what about those boosters—will they ever change?  Probably.  The mRNA technology used in Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is a platform that can be adjusted rapidly to changing vaccination targets.  As the virus mutates, these vaccines can be quickly reengineered to respond to the changes, perhaps even without additional FDA submissions.  And it will be used for more than SARS-CoV-2.  Other vaccine targets can be loaded on the platform to create a vaccination cocktail tailored to the pandemic du jour.  And it will be used for more than vaccines.  Other gene therapies can be mixed into the brew, all for your safety of course.  You’ll be a much happier, more compliant, and easily manipulated citizen.  The possibilities are endless.

What do you think of my crystal ball?  Personally, I don’t like it very much.  It’s not a world where I want to live.  If my predictions become true, we lose the freedom to make personal choices.  Free will, the essence of humanity, will be gone.  That’s not for me.

We still have a choice. We can choose to go down this road of boosters without knowing where the road will lead, or we can recognize that vaccination will not eradicate this virus, no matter how many boosters we take. If boosters will not eradicate SARS-CoV-2, there must be another reason to inject the world with limitless mRNA sequences.

I don’t want to find out what that reason is, so I’m not going down that road.  My humanity is too valuable to me.

The first 3 paragraphs are good info - clear up a lot of misinformation on the boosters. I don't think he's necessarily wrong on his predictions ..... this WILL happen if we don't stop it now.

[Qiviut]

There is an “archive” link at the bottom of the post - Dr. Homer has plenty more good articles of interest.

I have no doubt the Left wants this and is actively working on it. I'd even wager they've already developed it and are waiting on the right moment to introduce it.

The chicoms already have a social credit score so the model is there to adopt, copy and modify.

From the article:

“Why the push for boosters?”

Answer:

“Pfizer reported that earnings and sales more than doubled in the past quarter, and it raised its outlook for results the full year, thanks greatly to its Covid-19 vaccine.

The company reported adjusted earnings of $7.7 billion, up 133% from a year earlier. Revenue soared to $24.1 billion, up 134%. Both easily cleared results forecast by analysts.
The vaccine business alone was responsible for more than 60% of the company’s sales, as vaccine revenue rose to $14.6 billion from only $1.7 billion a year earlier. The company said its Covid vaccine sales accounted for $13 billion of that revenue. Revenue outside of its Covid vaccine business was up a far more modest 7%.”

If the juice comes from the same vial, it should be called a redo not a booster.

Big pharma can’t be truthful about anything.

I think that was the plan and some countries are closer to that than others but I think it will fail here, at least for now.

There has been NO remake, even under EUA, for any “booster” to be anything else other than another shot of the genetic snipped segment of S-Protein (Spike protein only— no complete virion content from the actual full virus) in the “booster”.

Which is why the “booster” is ineffective in preventing the Delta variant in the Spike protein (a variant that makes the virus more infectious) and likely any other variant including Omicron. Omicron— a coronavirus S protein of its own with a virus that has clearly mutated to less of a deadly threat.

We must STOP this now— omicron is clearly not a threat, but just the promoted newest mutation. The way of all viruses is to mutate for greater spread and less deadly (not kill the host that spreads the virus)— this is way of all viruses.

The reaction here to continue the RUSE— is purely political and driving the CONTROL politics of Leftist dems who have to have this as the MEANS to steal another election by false “health scare” and preserving “mail in ballots” that cannot be verified to each VOTER. Mail in ballots are BALLOT BOX STUFFERS.

— The article states, “If it's been more than six months since your last booster, your vaccination status will expire.”

Therefore, in simple language, the injection is a biannual injection. The “two doses” of the mRNA inoculations is merely the opening gambit in the marketing. Twice a year given that this concoction's effect “wanes.”

Waiting for the next marketing ploy to drop.

Why the push for boosters?

My tag line says it all ...

[Don W]

Biennial? In the UK, they have stepped it up to every THREE months.

[Thank You Rush]

And if people don’t have smart phones, what’s next? Tattoos? They’re going to be out of luck with me - no smart phone - post guards at my front and back doors? No doubt they have plans for that eventuality.

As someone who has recently had organ transplant surgery, I take drugs to suppress my immune system so as not to cause my new liver to be rejected.
I have had three shots of Moderna already, and I am not planning on getting a fourth.
Anti-rejection meds vs. immune system-boosting vaccine?
This feels like a tug-of-war I’m not sure I want to participate in.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

“Good that,” as the Brits might say.

From two shots to “immunize” to three to four, and yearly boosters to biannual boosters to every four months, this sounds like a marriage of the “nudge” theory of politics and media walking hand in hand down the protfiability aisle with politics- media-driven fear-mongering.

Oddly, something is amiss.

( 5,251,931 global deaths as tallied by the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center placed in the context of a global population — 7,911,354,800 to date — tells the simple truth that 0.066 percent of the world are officially dead from the official pandemic as reported by the official websites.

0.066 percent.

Less than 7 one-hundreths of one percent.

Marketing. Manipulation. Massive profits for the few.

Or...

( Pandemic marketing + media manipulation ) = massive profits for the few.

[Still Thinking]

And that is even based on the biased counting.

[cgbg]

The virus has totally failed to flatten the population curve.

Saving the planet from the current overpopulation is urgent—and the woke elites plan to do something about it!

Hmmm—wonder what they have in mind?

(Hint: inoculating against disease is not it.)

Natural immunity also wanes with time. What’s his next fearmongering conspiracy theory?

[ChildOfThe60s]

The virus, and even more so the vaccine, is the biggest most blatant hoax in the history of civilization

[glennaro]

True.

I've discovered a parallel between covid and a biblical teaching. The phrase "money is the root of all evil" is a deliberate truncation of the biblical teaching that it's "the love of money" that is taught to be the "root of all evil".

With the Fauci Flu, it's not "covid is the root of all of the distrust, anger and destruction" we've experienced over the past two years, it's "the fear of covid" -- as irrational as it has become -- that is the root of so much misery.

[roving]

Says who, you? Natural immunity lasts a lot longer than 6 months. Your shots don’t even work.
