On Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration authorized a second booster shot for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines, citing dwindling immunity in older Americans as a new omicron variant gains a firm foothold in the nation.
So should you rush out and get that new booster? And is that even a possibility yet? Here are some answers:
Q: Who’s eligible for the second booster?
A: Everyone 50 and older, as well as people with certain medical conditions, such as immune deficiencies and organ transplants.
Q: Why do we need yet another shot?
A: Data from Pfizer and BioNTech shows some decrease in effectiveness in the three-shot series — two primary vaccines and one booster — after three to six months. Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, points to “some waning of protection over time against serious outcomes from COVID-19 in older and immunocompromised individuals.”
Q: Should I get one?
A: Following the FDA’s regulatory action today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its recommendations to allow a fourth vaccine for these groups of people:
• If you are age 50 or older.• If you had your third shot more than four months ago.• If you have a medical condition that compromises your immunity.

Q: What does the research show?
A: So far, there are only three studies of the second booster, all in Israel. So the data is considered preliminary.
The first study, in healthcare workers, was small. It found that this fourth shot boosted levels of protective antibodies. But it had only modest effectiveness — 31% for Moderna and 44% for Pfizer — in preventing infection.

Thats some sweet ass Robert Frost take off of my favorite poem...
No.
If the government is telling you to do it, buyer beware.
Since when did the government ever have our best interests at heart?
Aside for a brief time in the 1700’s.

Goodbye
I did the same (age 64 with too many comorbidities) and had two sick days.
Pure bloods here!
i used to do a little but a little wouldn’t do it so a little got more and more...
If you are stupid and gullible then please go get the ‘booster’, all of them...today.
Oh, woe is me.
But if you want to get one or two or more, OK, but why do I have to pay for your shot?
Yep, two more boosters and we-they- will be full zombies.
Those gentlemen were not the government; they were the anti-government.
A booster a day keeps the Covid away.
As of 30 March 2022,
978,692 "U.S. Deaths" over twenty-seven months of a "from and with" pandemic which apparently has killed off most influenza deaths and serious supplanted other respiratory illnesses.

( 978,692 "U.S. Deaths" / 334,352,957 U.S. population ) x 100 = 0.293 % mortality rate over more than two years.
Survival rate therefore -- before as after the mRNA experiments -- has been 99.7 %.
The mandate-crazed pharmaceutical-industrial-government complex needs Americans to remain innumerate, and ignore reality in favor of their massive profits and corporatist goals.
Sure get a few more. What could happen? 😏
Please notify me when the yard sale is scheduled in order that I can get all of their stuff cheap.
They tried.
If my dog got three rabies shots and still got rabies I’d have questions.
Pfizer vaccine: 3% death rate & 93% adverse reaction rate.
COVID-19: 3% death rate.
Hmmm
Make your own decision.
“ Why would you take Ivermectin if you were boostered?”
Reread the post. Ivermectin was taken because even after getting thrice jabbed they still caught covid. Twice!!
Some people are not very bright and will do whatever the are told, personally observation and logic be damned.
The 3% death rate is greatly exacerbated by the CDC 'CoVID hospital protocol' that denies early treatment and prophylaxis. Compared to Dr Zelenko's treatment of over 1000 CoVID victims with only a single death, the corresponding unnecessary death rate is 600,000+. Where are the champions of these victims who mostly died alone, isolated, intubated, and sedated into the Twilight?
