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.

“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.”

Here’s a sentence dripping with propaganda buzz words to influence small-brain Elois.

See folks, give them an inch and they are taking mile after mile. They will jab you until you die.

You now will be unapproved unless you stick your arm out and feel sick and weak every 5 months.

Joe and Tony demand it.

How freaking stupid are people?

You are right. That said, even if the booster is supposed to stop Delta, Lambda is already here in a small way.

That will be the next shot after the next booster.

I would think that folks that already had corona and/or the shot will rely on their primary physician to test and tell them if their antibodies are at a level that a booster is recommended.


Too logical for the MSM to raise as a question , but exactly what should be done.

I got the J&J back in April. I WILL NOT get another China Virus shot, period. Not. Gonna. Do. It.

This whole government of ours can kiss my lilly white ass at this point. They're grossly incompetent and inept. They get absolutely nothing right. I normally am very skeptical of our government, as we all should be no matter who's in the White House, and everything Biden's done has completely shattered even my skepticism. Zero trust in our government at all, at any level. It's corrupt to the core.

IDGAF what anyone says at this point, it's time for the revolution. STAND THE EFF UP AMERICA! I'm not getting any younger and at 59 with all the damn' surgeries I've had I'll fight like hell for all I'm worth to stop this nonsense in this country! Just dammit!! When the EFF do we stand up?!

Considering any new mutation needs to be identified, a reformulated vax created, tested, approved, mass produced and then given out to hundreds of millions of people - a process that could take 6-9 months+ more than enough time for a new mutation to form it’s become a pointless exercise.
