...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.

Not anymore.
Those damn mice took it.

They’re enrolled in my common sense for beginners training program. It’s having an effect!
It’s genius really, they are using existing infrastructure to dispose of the bodies and the public largely hasn’t even caught on yet!
Never mind whether they actually work; now they’re saying if they won’t kill you is reason to get the jab! LOL!
“He must be a paid advocate.”
Yup—the “experts” all need to provide forensic audits of all of their accounts and their family’s accounts—otherwise I could never rely on them for anything.
If it’s been proven safe then why is it still under EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION ONLY?
Not enough people have died yet.
