The Biden administration is planning to announce that most Americans who have received the coronavirus vaccine will need booster shots to combat waning immunity and the highly transmissible delta variant that is sparking a surge in covid-19 cases, according to four people familiar with the decision.
The administration’s health and science experts are coalescing around the view that people will need the boosters eight months after being fully vaccinated, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision not yet public. The move is likely to be announced as soon as this week.
Administration of boosters would not occur until mid- or late September, after an application from Pfizer-BioNTech for the additional shots is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, the individuals said.
The conclusion that boosters will be broadly needed was reached after intense discussions last weekend involving high-ranking officials who scrutinized the latest data from the United States and other countries on the effectiveness of the shots.
It is a striking change from public statements by senior officials in recent months who had said it was far too soon to conclude that Americans would need booster shots. In July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA put out an unusual statement that said, “Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time.” Officials have repeatedly said it was not clear whether boosters would be needed.

And the public is ready to announce ‘go back to sleep Joe’.
I won’t need a booster because I won’t take the first one.
I had the Fauci/China virus.
Better protection than their shot.
I thought all the sick people were vaccinated? Talk about not being able to keep your story strait. This is why you should not lie, it always comes back to bite you.
Previous Covid Prevents Delta Infection Better Than Pfizer Shot
“People given both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were almost six-fold more likely to contract a delta infection and seven-fold more likely to have symptomatic disease than those who recovered.”
Not just get a booster because one of these phony NIH/CDC hacks seem to think they might need one after 8 or 6 or 5 or whenever months.
It’s all going according to plan.
The administration is “coalescing” on this view “after intense discussions last weekend involving high-ranking officials.”
It’s good to see some people are able to have intense discussions, because once it becomes policy all dissenters will be depersoned.
The Death Gnome & Lie-den ... what could go wrong?
I gots yer booster shot right hea buddy....
Well, I guess that means I’m retiring.
Can the health system handle a massive surge in antibody tests?

I’ll choose to drink from the unvaccinated drinking fountain,massa.
