Untold number of Americans getting COVID-19 boosters without FDA approval
ktla ^ | Aug 7, 2021

Posted on 08/07/2021 11:47:35 AM PDT by BenLurkin

When the delta variant started spreading, Gina Welch decided not to take any chances: She got a third, booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by going to a clinic and telling them it was her first shot.

The U.S. government has not approved booster shots against the virus, saying it has yet to see evidence they are necessary. But Welch and an untold number of other Americans have managed to get them by taking advantage of the nation’s vaccine surplus and loose tracking of those who have been fully vaccinated.

One entry in the CDC database shows a 52-year-old man got a third dose from a California pharmacy on July 14 by saying he had never received one and by providing his passport, rather than a driver’s license, as identification. But when the pharmacy contacted the patient’s insurance provider, it was told he had received two doses in March.

San Francisco said Tuesday that they will provide an extra dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for people who got the single-shot Johnson & Johnson variety — referring to it as a supplement, rather than a booster.

Several studies are looking at booster shots for certain at-risk groups — people with weakened immune systems, adults over 60 years old and health care workers.

The head of the World Health Organization recently urged wealthier nations to stop administering boosters to ensure vaccine doses are available to other countries where few people have received their first shots.

Welch, a graduate student from Maine, put the blame on people who have refused to get the vaccine for political reasons. “Their absolute demand and screeches for freedom is trampling our public health and our communal health.”

If she got a few of each kind of shot she would be immune for sure—even those evil unvaxxed folks would not be able to infect her!

I said “I BELIEVE” and I stand by that. I believe this government is filled with liars that are tricking and manipulating the citizens of America.

I think you’re both right.

California, for example, has a database of who got the shots, when, and which one.

I also assume that whatever data they release will at best be presented in a way that advances whatever agenda is being pushed at the moment. Which a lawyer could say isn’t a lie, but everyone else recognizes as a form of lying.

There will be a black market in our states to provide the pills.

Then, Canada, Mexico, or ??? will provide an online doctor via credit card fees to rx the pills to be sent here.

Propaganda designed to get everyone to think the shot is “So Safe”.

Nailed it!

Each State has a database but they can’t submit identifying data to the federal government.

A federal database is illegal.

Most States have opt out provisions from the immunization registry.

un FRIGGIN believable how afraid people are of EVERYTHING.
———————-
My pastor at our revival a few weeks back mentioned exactly what you are saying: “ God has revealed how fearful people have become”….atheists, secularism, all non believers are scared to death….reject God, succumb to fear, believe in God, become fearless. Amen.

Suicide. I guess let them. It’s their choice

“Vaccinations only prove that you can inject someone
with highly acidic toxic poisonous chemicals and that person
hopefully surviving the debilitating side effects, such as multiple
sclerosis, lesions on the brain, paralysis, breakdown of the red
and white blood cells, ulcerations of the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas,
stomach and bowels, seizures and death. Vaccinations provide
zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices.”
