Will you need a COVID booster? Pfizer says yes. CDC, FDA say it's too soon to know

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?

CDC Translation: it depends on how many old people have been knocked off to save Social Security. If not enough die, we will need additional boosters

The need for a booster shot seems to indicate a need for a boost in someone’s revenue.

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.

the goal is that they vaccinate you regularly for the rest of your life.

Screw your health. The vaccines are needed to cover the damage that they do. So you can never figure out which one caused the damage.

Plausible deniability.
