Did the US Jump the Gun With the New Omicron-Targeted Vaccines?

This new C19 booster vax the FDA just approved seems like a money making scheme for pharma with possibly very little increased efficacy from the original recipe....especially considering the side effects for those at low risk. Likely worth it if you are high risk or get a paid day off to recover.

https://khn.org/news/article/new-omicron-targeted-vaccines-authorization/

The updated booster vaccine formulations are identical to the original covid vaccines except for a tweak in the mRNA code to match the omicron BA.5 virus. Studies by Pfizer showed that its updated omicron BA.1 booster provides a 1.56 times higher increase in neutralizing antibody titers against the BA.1 virus as compared with a booster using its original vaccine. Moderna’s studies of its updated omicron BA.1 booster demonstrated very similar results. However, others predict that a 1.5 times higher antibody titer would yield only slight improvement in vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic illness and severe disease, with a bump of about 5% and 1% respectively (Predicting the efficacy of variant-modified COVID-19 vaccine boosters https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.25.22279237v1 Posted August 26, 2022). Pfizer and Moderna are just starting to study their updated omicron BA.5 boosters in human trials.

Even asking this question makes the writer a vax denier and anti-science.

Yes. It’s nonsense.

Sales gimmick.

All I can say is that I thank God that my wife and I didn’t get the vax or boosters. We got Covid 19-84 last October but we made it through. Wasn’t fun but no worse than some flus I’ve had in my life.

Pfizer got FDA approval based on tests on EIGHT mice. Yes, just 8. No regulatory capture there.

My mom, despite my begging not to, got 3 Moderna “vaccines”.

She has been messed up and not herself, ever since.

Two weeks ago she had a hoarse voice and “tested positive” for the Coof.

And she gave it to me [thanks mom] but it was little more than a 2 day sniffle and sort of “achy neck”.

My cousin’s husband, a hotshot hospital administrator/doctor, told her NOT to get any more “vaccines”.

Yet she wants another booster, and for all I know, had one.

I can’t make her see reason and my Biden-worshipping liberal sister is pushing her to do it.

[wants that inheritance, despite already being filthy rich]

I’m starting to think the only possible reason for global cover-up would be to give the Asian China countries a leg up against the west that’s all I can think of

Hopefully, you won’t get it again. Natural immunity wanes too.

Eight Mice would make a great title of a dystopian novel at some point in the future.

Anybody who volunteers to take the latest death jab is insane.

If the military forces its members to take the new death jab, the brass should all be HUNG after Nuremberg 2.

So, taking repeated death jabs is better than natural immunity?

On what planet, in what solar system, in what galaxy?

Big Pharma OWNS the FDA! The FDA's funding is 70%+ derived from the drug companies, check it out.

It certainly would! Sort of a sequel to the movie "12 Monkeys"?
