Biden administration to announce most Americans will need coronavirus booster shots

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.

It didn’t kill the proper number of people.

The virus has evolved and become resistant to the “leaky vaccines”. Boosters are just doubling down on stupid.

I may be wrong about this, but I was always under the impression that a vaccine requiring booster shots less than 12 months after the original dose doesn’t meet the minimum efficacy requirements for FDA approval.

Suckers. Sooner or later they will need boosters just to stay alive if it doesn’t kill them.

I think my company is heading that way.

Such a shame. Really good career.

It is what it is.

Yeh, probably with the chips in them. I read somewhere where the passports are linked with a credit score? If true America is a sinking ship.

That leaves me out. Is this approved or semi-approved or like the approved?

"The Biden Administration" announces.

Not exactly the entity to have announcing this if you want people to believe it.
