Top U.S. officials see booster shots as inevitable By ADAM CANCRYN, SARAH OWERMOHLE and ERIN BANCO 07/12/2021 03:27 PM EDT Updated 07/12/2021 07:29 PM EDT WASHINGTON — Biden administration health officials believe the most vulnerable Americans will eventually need coronavirus booster shots — but they are still debating how quickly that should happen, two administration officials said.

The internal deliberations have stretched on for months as health officials watch for signs of waning immunity among the vaccinated. The talks have included extensive behind-the-scenes coordination between the administration and drug companies manufacturing Covid-19 vaccines.

Pfizer's announcement Thursday that it planned to seek approval for a booster shot within weeks disrupted that process. The company caught the administration by surprise, frustrating officials who have yet to decide who will need an additional shot and when — and fueling public speculation that the vaccines' protection against Covid-19 could soon begin wearing off.

The Biden administration has repeatedly downplayed the need for additional shots, wary of undermining confidence in the vaccines and getting ahead of definitive evidence that boosters will be required. The CDC and FDA jointly rebuked Pfizer’s announcement, asserting that "Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster at this time.”

Yet many administration officials have come to view another round of Covid-19 shots as highly likely, said four people familiar with the situation.

“Fully vaccinated people do not need a shot at this time,” said one senior administration official, stressing that the government's assessment could change. “Everybody wants to see the science.”

As predicted. They want to make the call for power, can’t have Pfizer making the call.

When it is no longer speculation, that's when they'll push the boosters. But their credibility will have been shot. Pun intended.

I won’t need a booster because I am never taking their shot, which is not a vaccine.

Of course people will.

Who could not see that one coming?

By the time the mark of the beast comes around, people will be so conditioned to being told they must get such and such for their own good, that they will do it without reservation.

1st class = persons receiving booster shot

2nd class = persons with only single vaccination

Concentration camp bound = unvaccinated

They’re back to pushing the no-data, no proof “booster.”

Greedy, evil and murderous fiends.
