Why The New Covid-19 Booster Vaccines Are Safe (laugh fest)
Forbes ^ | September 26, 2022 | Steven Saltzberg

Posted on 09/30/2022 10:13:36 PM PDT by DoodleBob

...But the new vaccines protect against two different strains of Covid-19: the original strand and the latest Omicron variant, BA.5. BA.5 just emerged in August, and it’s spreading extremely fast–it now accounts for 88% of the cases in the U.S. The FDA authorized these “bivalent” boosters on August 31.

My main point today is to explain how this happened so quickly, and why it didn’t involve many months of clinical trials the way that the original vaccines did. Some people have expressed suspicion about the speed with which these boosters appeared, but those suspicions are entirely unfounded.

...

(W)e change the flu vaccine strain to match whatever seems to be circulating, but everything else about the vaccine design remains the same.

This is exactly what scientists have done with the new Covid-19 booster shots from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna: they simply added a new strain, in this case to match the latest Omicron variant.

...

The vaccine makers have produced safety data showing that the booster is just as safe as the original vaccine (see that NEJM article I mentioned above). But the FDA didn’t require them to prove that the booster really works better against BA.5, because that would require months of trials, and by that time the virus could mutate again. So while it’s possible that the boosters won’t help against BA.5, it’s very, very likely that they will.

“‘Just get on the train. We are taking you somewhere you will be safe.’

Sounds sort of familiar, doesn’t it.”

The WWII Nazis had to make an effort to round up and physically go get their victims for the train rides. It was work.

The Fauci Nazis had it much easier. Their victims came to THEM begging to be locked down in hospitals, and begging to be violated with poison.

In Germany, concentration camps had to be created. For Covid, hospitals and nursing homes existed. Easy peasy.

Because we so so wish it to be so.

Sounds like the Mad Hatter...

Dog’s amputation appointment.

Sick with worry it will go wrong or he’ll not do well on 3, for whatever reason.

No matter how hard I’ve tried, something always goes sideways and I’m about to do something to him that I can’t “take back”.

“Terrified” doesn’t even come close.

You’ll even get a nice shower after you arrive.

“Even the pro vaxxers here on FR have quieted”

they did their job, were repeatedly proven wrong, so no point in banging the same ‘ol vax shill drum ... either that or their funding dried up for some reason ...

A. very, very scientific ...

They boosters may be "just as safe", but the originals weren't safe at all. If you look up "produce", the first definition that shows up is "make or manufacture from components or raw materials". In other words, the "safety data" was manufactured.

I read that it was tested on only eight mice. No other tests.

Even “fact checkers” admit that is true.

This is like saying that jumping from an airplane without a parachute is as “safe” as jumping from an airplane with a backpack full of kitchen utensils on your back where a parachute should be.

I have not yet taken these kill shots and NEVER will. I wish Billy would spend more time fixing Office 365 than eugenics. Has Billy taken any shots?

Maybe conflating claims of supposed safety from severe disease or hospitalization with proof of safety from being maimed or killed by the mRNA gene therapy agent in question...?

Our stupid media ignores how harmful the vaxxxes have been...

Never let them lie. They're not stupid; they're intelligent, corrupt, and malicious. They may present you with a bumbling fool on the screen or on the page but these korporate Pfascists know exactly what they're doing spreading propaganda about these Jim Jones Jabs which are not vaccines.
