In the 24 hours since the last report:

Administered: 705,000 (Good) (32,000 J&J - Good)

People Vaccinated, First Shot: 396,000 (Good).

Fully Vaccinated: 288,000 (OK)

% of Total Population:

With at least a First Shot: 60% (up 0.1)

Those ≥ 18 Years of Age (Adults): 72.3% (up 0.1)

Those ≥ 65 Years of Age: 91% (up 0.1) (80.9% Fully Vaccinated - up 0.1)

Cases and Hospitalizations may be starting to peak, but Deaths were back on the rising trend of the Delta Wave, on this report.

882 Deaths - Back on the rising trend line of the Delta wave.

Vaccinations a bit stronger than the July average of 600K/day on this report.

US Government recommends booster shots for Pfizer and Moderna at eight months (beginning on 20 Sep). J&J boosters will likely be recommended later. Three supporting studies are supposed to be published soon, here: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html?ftag=MSF0951a18 In the statement, they say that protection against infection wanes over time, but protection against severe disease and death remain strong so far. Also that nearly all cases of severe disease hospitalization and death continue to occur among those not yet vaccinated at all.

Yahoo News reports on the three studies: A study of 10 million New Yorkers found effectiveness decreased from 92% in May to about 80% in late July, Walensky said. Data from Mayo Clinic Health System facilities showed Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine’s effectiveness declined from 76% to 42% and Moderna's declined from 86% to 76%, she added. Plus, reports from thousands of nursing homes showed effectiveness dropped from 75% in March to 53% in on August 1 among the most vulnerable populations during the months when delta was the dominant strain, she said.

Texas governor Greg Abbott, who tested positive for coronavirus yesterday, has reportedly told people that he received a third coronavirus vaccine dose.

The CDC now estimates that the Delta variant in the U.S. makes up about 99% of circulating SARS-CoV-2.

A top Mississippi health official said Tuesday that about 20,000 students are currently quarantined for COVID-19 exposure in the state — 4.5% of the public school population.

The United States shipped 1.2 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine to the Ivory Coast.

The Marine Corps officially refuted an article, published Aug. 10 by a website called Real Raw News, which claimed that Marine Corps Gen. David Berger made a threat to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a private phone call, refusing mandatory vaccination for Marines. "If you try to forcibly vaccinate even one of my Marines, you better come armed," the article quotes Berger saying to Austin. A disclaimer on the Real Raw News website says it "contains humor, parody, and satire." In December, Gen. Berger tweeted a photo of himself receiving the vaccine. "I encourage all Marines and their families to get the shot to slow the spread of the virus," Gen. Berger wrote in the photo's caption.

Pope Francis issued a message on Wednesday (Aug. 18) encouraging Catholics to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

The union representing Tucson police officers is challenging the city's decision to require employees to get the coronavirus vaccine. The Arizona Daily Star reports that the lawsuit filed Monday (16 Aug) by the Tucson Police Officers Association alleges the policy breaches its labor contract.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was sued by a group of small business owners who say requiring all customers and employees to show proof of vaccination against Covid-19 will severely impact their livelihoods.

Every state has 50% or more of those eligible for the vaccine, ages 12 and up, with at least one dose, with some states exceeding 80%.

Air, train and bus travelers will need to mask up the rest of the year and into mid-January. The Biden administration is expected to extend the requirement yet again, through Jan. 18, 2022, according to multiple reports.

New Zealand’s first coronavirus outbreak in six months has grown to seven people.

Today, our medical experts announced a plan for booster shots to every fully vaccinated adult in America.

This shot will boost your immune response — and it’ll increase your protection from COVID-19.— President Biden (@POTUS) August 18, 2021

I’ve already outlined vaccine requirements that will reach millions of Americans. Today, I’m announcing a new step: If you work in a nursing home and serve Medicare or Medicaid enrollees, you will also be required to get vaccinated.— President Biden (@POTUS) August 18, 2021

“Texas governor Greg Abbott, who tested positive for coronavirus yesterday, has reportedly told people that he received a third coronavirus vaccine dose.”


Did the article state whether he had received a booster prior to infection, or has a booster been given in order to treat his existing infection?

“When these first came out they were good for life”.

Even Trump knows the goal posts have moved a long way from where they were in January.

There have been a reported 38M cases of Coronavirus in the U.S. These are just known positive PCR results and the number of unknown cases are known to be multiple times the known cases.

Add to these numbers of 200M vaccinated.

The U.S. is clearly at the level of immunized population at or above Denmark which is ending all mask mandates etc...

Isn’t it time to end the hysteria and harmful mandates that ostensibly help against Covid.

End the masks. No need for vaccine passports.

It’s over.

President Trump has had enough of vaccine booster shots: "You know what, that sounds to me like a money-making operation for Pfizer, okay, think of the money involved. That's tens of billions of dollars. The whole thing is crazy."— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) August 18, 2021


President Trump on "booster vax shots" today: "When these first came out they were good for life. Now they're only good for a year or two. And I could see the writing on the wall. I could see the dollar signs in their eyes—of that guy that runs Pfizer."— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) August 18, 2021

I wouldn’t think so either. Perhaps his doctor thought it was a good idea to elicit a more robust immune response to help fight off the virus? IDK, makes no sense to me either.

I suppose he may have taken a third vaccine on his own as some people have been doing.

Read post 11, it doesn’t make sense to Trump either. A lot of it doesn’t make sense. The booster is just another injection of the same stuff that loses effectiveness way faster than anyone thought it would. It’s not changed at all to help with variants.

“Following 28 days post-2nd shot, significant reduction was seen in NT50s, IgG, and IgM levels. The average half-life of NT50s was ∼68 days and the average time-length for participants’ serums to lose the detectable activity was ∼198 days.”

“Implications of all the available evidence BNT162b2 efficacy is likely to be diminished to under detection limit by 6-7 months post-1st shot on average. Individuals with moderate NT50s may fail to block beta variants. If BNT162b2-elicited immune memory is lost soon, additional vaccine(s) or other protective means would be needed.”

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.27.21261237v1

Is this what we were told in January?? Down to 50% in 68 days?
