Pfizer and BioNTech plan to file for emergency use authorization for COVID vaccine booster as Delta variant spreads
CBS News ^ | July 8, 2021 | Li Cohen

Pfizer announced on Thursday that its COVID vaccine booster shot could further protect individuals from "all currently known variants" of COVID-19 โ€” including the highly transmittable Delta variant. The booster shot is currently undergoing trials, the company said, and has shown "encouraging clinical trial data in a small number of participants in our study."

Pfizer said that the initial two doses that patients received have elicited "strong immune responses" against the Delta variant and that current studies are focused on whether the booster shot will increase that response even further.

Trial data has shown that when given six months after the second dose, Pfizer's booster has a "consistent tolerability profile" and neutralizes an immune response. Pfizer and BioNTech plan to share their booster data with the Food and Drug Administration in August and file for emergency use authorization shortly thereafter, a Pfizer spokesperson said.

While Pfizer believes the booster will be highly effective against COVID variants, the company said it is also developing an updated Pfizer-BioNtech COVID vaccine that will target the Delta variant specifically. mRNA for a new vaccine trial is already being manufactured, the company said, and clinical studies are expected to begin in August, pending approval.

"We have said, and we continue to believe that it is likely, based on the totality of the data we have to date, that a third dose may be needed within six to 12 months after full vaccination," Pfizer said. "While protection against severe disease remained high across the full six months, a decline in efficacy against symptomatic disease over time and the continued emergence of variants are expected...."

How fortunate for them that another “variant” has ari$en!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a new variant arose every six months for eternity?!

Sinister, evil. The only two words I can say for a virus that is officially deemed 99.9 percent survivable.

Rather glib statement “when the science demonstrates”. Who says such a thing?

Jab #1 and 2 worked so well, letโ€™s do it again! And again. And again. More bovine excrement. Go ahead and take #3. Just leave me and mine alone.

620,00 dead Americans (including people I knew who suffered terribly) shows that it is not 99.9 percent survivable.

HCQ is a therapy, so how can they get EUA
without REAL testing, especially in the light of
the cerebral thrombi, miscarriages, sterilizations,
deaths, cytokine cascades, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), enhanced respiratory diseases (ERD),
lymph node changes, blood brain barrier changes,
neurological induced diseases, contaminations with
graphene oxide and noxious nanomaterials
untested except for the scores of dead Wistar rats???

People who want you to think that Science is Math, e.g., that "you have nothing to fear from this messenger RNA platform because we say so" is the same as "1+1=2, always and forever."

Remember when 'settled science' on ulcers was overturned? Uh huh...it happens.

Science is NOT math.

We will survive the Chinese Communist Party’s weaponized virus, with or without a vaccine.

We will not survive the Chinese Communist Party’s takeover of the USA if we continue to pretend the virus was an act of God instead of an act of war.

Booster shots have received no evidence they are needed. NOT NEEDED!

we may not survive the Maltese enemy on SCOTUS.

consider. the DNA operating systems are patents
and therefore, look at what the corrupt SCOTUS
passed.

f YOU or your children or family are INJECTED,
the company [”owner”] claims YOUR DNA.
Futhermore, when the DNAoperating system takes over,
the injected [”owned”] is no longer human,
or entitled to Constitutional protection.

Read 2013 court case Pathology v Myriad Genetics, inc
where the Supreme Court ruled if a human genome
is modified by mRNA vaccines then the genome is and can be
owned and the human is now “proprietary” and called
“transhuman” — and is NO LONGER 100% biological or human.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-398_1b7d.pdf

GateXi, WHO, Biopharma, Xiden wants everyone jabbed,
and now you know why. The small print also notified
you it was an experiment and they could not be sued.

This is going to end up like Gillette’s safety razor.

Razor (first doses) are free.

Blades (boosters) are not.

You're absolutely right. It's a 98.12% survival rate.
