Fauci says we may all need booster shots a year from now
The Hill ^ | 4/12/21 | Adam Barnes

Fauci previously expressed confidence that available vaccines would provide adequate protection against COVID-19 variants.

----

Anthony Fauci suggested on Sunday there is a possibility that even those who've been fully inoculated against COVID-19 might eventually need a booster shot - maybe in as little as a year.

But Fauci urged caution to MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan who pressed for clarification about the long-term efficacy of several vaccines currently approved for use in the U.S. after Pfizer announced last week that its vaccines protect individuals for at least six months.

"We need to be careful about that six month number," Fauci said. "We know for sure it's effective for six months and highly likely that it will be effective for considerably longer period of time."

Fauci said more data is needed to know the full scope of a vaccine's protection, adding that people need to be "followed closely enough to determine when that level of efficacy and when, or if, the protection diminishes." Fauci said clinical data will also be vital to determine if variants are breaking through a particular vaccine's antibodies.

"So the good news is that it's at least six months," Fauci said. "Hopefully a lot more. But in direct answer to your question, if it turns out a year or a year and a half, we very well may need to get booster shots to keep up the level of protection."

“Hopefully a lot more. But in direct answer to your question, if it turns out a year or a year and a half...

In other words Fauci has no idea.

Fauci will demand legal enforcement of all wearing masks even at home at night while asleep, and the all important once a WEEK vaccine shots coming soon. Variants, you know.

When will someone take the hooked wooden cane leftover from Vaudeville and yank him off the stage?

Who cares what Fraudci says... but I expect we’ll need them annually like the regular flu shot.

“Fauci says we may all need booster shots a year from now”

Fauci may have had an injection of saline for the cameras but I’d bet my right arm he won’t get the shot or the next shot either.

Does he mean I will need the booster even though I have never got #1 or #2?

Hard to tell what this case of rambling Diarrhea of the mouth means..

Like the old ‘can’t tell the players without a scorecard’, one needs to keep ALL his statements near at hand.

They’re not being honest about this “vaccine” and how it works vs. traditional vaccines. If all they do is provide very temporary protection then I’m not comfortable with having to continuously take more shots vs. just living my life understanding the risks of getting a virus where 99+% survive.

All this means is endless violations of constitutional rights.

usually if you poison one person, ...
or poison a city ....

but FauXi has poisoned an entire planet
for royalties, and the lauding of the MSM/DS,
and the friendship and payment of Gates.

nothing to see here for the utter blind
surviving what he and his funders have wrought.

This is great news. It means we likely won’t need booster shots.
