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.

That because it is not approved. The ones that they approved will be made in the future.

i wonder when covid vaccination fatigue will kick in?

i wonder how many people who took the first two doses are going to be foolish enough to take a third dose, particularly since almost everyone knows or heard about someone they know who was harmed the first time?

i wonder will the medical community be even MORE vaccine hesitant regarding a third injection than the first two because THEY’VE seen so much vaccine harm?

i wonder how many people are going to realize that covid “boosters” are going to end up being a semi-annual requirement for many years, and that each vaccination is like adding another bullet to the revolver before spinning the cylinder again during a game of russian roulette?

speaking Russian roulette, getting COVID is like playing Russian Roulette...if you have a 10,000 round revolver and you put two bullets in random chambers.

If the booster is nothing more than the 2nd Pfizer shot, and not designed to deal with the ‘Delta’ variant, why bother...we’ve lost the vaccine vs virus battle...we need to move quickly to prophylactics, and alternate treatments, like other countries have begun to do. But Falsi will never give in.

So is Fauci and Gates going to get booster saline or B-12 shots?

I was told I needed the first and second shots too. I just want to know when the ‘last shot’ will be available. That might be tempting.

I had the Fauci/China virus. Better protection than their shot.

Same here, but our rulers never seem to make allowance for those of us with natural immunity.

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

Sooner or later they will need boosters just to stay alive UNTIL it kills them.

Because the first two jabs didn’t kill enough people.
