The Biden administration will begin offering coronavirus booster shots Sept. 20, top health officials announced Wednesday, after concluding that a third shot is needed to fight off waning immunity.

The administration said it is developing plans to begin offering the booster shots after reviewing a wide array of data. The plan, which applies only to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, calls for Americans to get a booster shot eight months after receiving their second doses. The officials said they expect that a booster shot will be needed for people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but they are still reviewing data and will announce plans at a later date.

Is this what we were told in January?? Down to 50% in 68 days?

“Following 28 days post-2nd shot, significant reduction was seen in NT50s, IgG, and IgM levels. The average half-life of NT50s was ∼68 days and the average time-length for participants’ serums to lose the detectable activity was ∼198 days.”

“Implications of all the available evidence BNT162b2 efficacy is likely to be diminished to under detection limit by 6-7 months post-1st shot on average. Individuals with moderate NT50s may fail to block beta variants. If BNT162b2-elicited immune memory is lost soon, additional vaccine(s) or other protective means would be needed.”

So, the first two were a failure so let’s take a third shot.

Booster strategies depend on the theory that #Covid infections in the vaccinated are due to waning immunity. But to the extent infections are due to vaccine resistance of variants (Delta, Lambda), boosters of the original vaccine formulations will likely lead to more resistance. https://t.co/UmijhZXOgp— James Hill, MD (@jhillmd) August 15, 2021

Gee. Will these be “experimental” too? Because it is such an “emergency”?

I’m wondering if “offer” is the correct word.

The most polite thing that I can say about the booster shots, in light of what I’ve learned about the original vax (Pfizer) that I foolishly allowed myself and my son to get (no bad effects noticed so far) is that the Biden Administration and Fauci can jam that booster shot right up their asses.

Yes, that’s the most polite that I can be. The government (i.e. the bureaucrats, as well as pols interested in more power at any expense) and the medical establishment have lied to us about Covid, about treatments, about masks, about the economic impact and about the vaxxes, from Day One - and none of that is about simple or innocent mistakes. A couple mistakes would be acceptable, but when they try to censor dissenting views or analyses, then it is clearly purposeful - and most definitely not in our interest.

I’ll stop now, before I get distinctly not polite.

More money for Big Pharma. COME, we’ll give you $100 to get your booster. Third time is a charm. What doesn’t kill you will always make you stronger.

"The plan, which applies only to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines,"

Does this raise a red flag for anyone?

It’s because they’re waiting for a review of data on the J&J vaccine to see if/when a booster is needed.

Of course, the "booster" has already gone through clinical trials, right? Right?

The companies Pfizer and BioNTech said Monday they have submitted data from a Phase 1 study to the FDA supporting the use of a third, or booster, dose of their Covid-19 vaccine.

How many phases do FDA clinical trials usually go through before they are evaluated? Three.

It seems to me like our Medical-Industrial Establishment is panicking.

Can you name any other vaccine that has EVER needed a booster?

Full approval will be coming soon,

Full approval for what? Have they done clinical trials on three shots within 8 months? Is anyone asking this very obvious question?
