While the Biden administration has been racing to maximize the number of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, government researchers have also been working on what form the next generation of vaccines will take.
They may be combined with the seasonal flu vaccine, or could come in the form of pills or patches instead of shots. Scientists also envision vaccines that might shield against viruses beyond SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) that could avert future pandemics.
And they're evaluating whether those who are fully vaccinated might need booster shots later this year.

Patch Tuesday. To apply a patch to the previous patch to fix the revision to the original Covid vaccine mRNA instructions.

"Your COVID vaccine booster might be a patch or a pill. Or it might come with your flu shot."
Or CDC storm-troopers might burst into your house at 0500 and just jab you with a needle...

If a vaccine requires boosters, it is not a vaccine.

“Your choice” will be the jab or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick and random public “Swabbings”.

Or it might be non-existent due to lack of initial jabs to boost.

The object is to have everyone in the world on some kind of med. Must be that flu vaccines were down. And so....a very “special” flu turned up.
To: cranked
Except many vaccines do require boosters e.g. MMR, Tetanus, Rabies, shingles.

Gee, this will really keep people from getting a flu shot too.
We have politicized medicine and they cannot be trusted to be in the interests of patients.

Those are really vaccines. The covid jab is not. Do not lie now and say it is because it isn’t.
