Will you need a COVID booster? Pfizer says yes. CDC, FDA say it's too soon to know
Cnet via MSN ^ | 7/14/21 | Clifford Colby

With the delta variant of the coronvirus becoming the dominant strain in the US, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer said it's working on a booster shot for its COVID-19 vaccine. The new third shot would target the highly contagious delta mutation, which has spread to 100 countries and is responsible for a growing number of new infections in the US.

In a recent press release, Pfizer said a third shot of its vaccine would enhance the immunity of those who've already received the first two vaccine shots. In addition to creating a booster for its existing vaccine, the drugmaker said it would formulate a new version of its COVID-19 vaccine to target the delta variant. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration responded with a joint statement that fully vaccinated Americans "do not need a booster shot at this time."

Earlier this month, the CDC and World Health Organization issued contradictory guidance on the need for fully vaccinated people to wear face masks. That debate, along with the ongoing discussion of booster shots, underscores how scientists and other health experts continue to grapple with the uncertainties of COVID-19 as restrictions loosen. Here's what we know about Pfizer's plans for a booster, and why the CDC and FDA caution against it, at least for now.

Along with Moderna, Pfizer's current two-dose vaccine provides effective protection against all known variants of COVID-19 -- including the delta variant. Studies have shown the Pfizer vaccine to be over 90% effective against the virus. So why is the drugmaker pushing for a booster shot?

ICYMI:

Dr. Bhakdi’s presentation on how the immune system works. 3 different sources have studied and concluded that the RONA is not really all that NEW. Insufficient difference - the immune system will recognize it. No need for this Injection.

".... Studies have shown the Pfizer vaccine to be over 90% effective against the virus. So why is the drugmaker pushing for a booster shot?...."

Individual patients may not be paying for these vaccines and boosters....yet. But the collective taxpayers are paying for them via government payments to the pharmaceutical companies.

They smell an opportunity to fatten their coffers with this pandemic and resultant vaccines and boosters, ad. infinitum. Making hay while the sun shines.

Follow the money. They aren't called big pharma for nothing.

Just give the pharmaceuticals your bank account number and they will give you a membership that gets you a shot every week. Think of it as not owning your body, but rather as a lease.

In other words, absolutely 'YES', with a 'MAYBE' now to grease the public skids, and a 'YES' to be named later. Like, when "boosters" will be old news.

I don’t see a need for the supposed vaccine. 1. The disease is not that life threatening to people in my age group. 2. It seems like people still get it with the vaccine. 3. It seems like the vaccine itself endangers me more than the disease itself. 4. Seems like Deep State is very desperate to get everyone to take this despite their legitimate objections.

They don’t offer free beers, coffees, weed and lottery tickets for the measles vaccine.

Meanwhile, looks like it wasn't just CoupFlu killing people. From across The Pond...

COVID CALAMITY Hospital staff ‘may have accidentally killed Covid patients after errors with ventilator filters’ in packed ICU wards

Clap for carers!

I had both Pfizer shots in February. I don’t believe a day has passed since then that I have felt completely “normal”. Will I take a booster shot? NEVER!

I have never had a flu shot of any kind, i feel completely normal. “Normal” is a relative term.

I know a person with skin cancer on his face. It was under control and he was in treatment. Then he got the quackjabs and his skin cancer spiralled out of control and unfortunately he now looks like a monster. I would rather be dead!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dr. Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance offered the following assessment:

“Daszak reiterated that, until an infectious disease crisis is very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, he said, we need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media, and the economics follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of process, Daszak stated.”

It’s ALL about the $$$$ folks - deaths, maiming/disability, losing your health (there is no “off” switch to the jab) ... they DON’T CARE. This is not about public health, ‘saving people’s lives, etc. You can see “the plan” in action even more clearly now with the third shot boosters.

Ivermectin has now shown up in over 60 studies. It has been peer reviewed safe and effective as a preventive and an effective therapeutic to fight Covid at all stages. It is even more effective and safer than some of the vaccines. Its cheap and readily available. There is no reason to get vaccinated.

This is a great video. It explains why 99%+ people survive the virus many without even knowing they have had the virus at all. And even better news is that Ivermectin virtually stops the symptoms from being fatal or debilitating. And its widely tested and safe. The vaccine is simple not needed.

This is what bothers me. We never get a straight answer. It’s a big guessing game. Who to believe?
