FDA's Marion Gruber and Phil Krause argued current evidence doesn't indicate a need for booster shots among most Americans

Available evidence doesn’t yet indicate a need for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots among the general population, an international group of scientists said Monday, including two senior FDA officials reportedly stepping down from their posts over a disagreement with the White House on the administration of booster shots.

Marion Gruber, director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and her deputy director, Phil Krause, set to leave in October and November, published a viewpoint in The Lancet on Monday along with other experts worldwide, arguing that the COVID-19 vaccines remain effective in preventing severe disease, including against the highly transmissible and dominant delta variant.

So where does the White House get off having any medical opinion with which to agree or disagree?

Sounds like they think the White House has been listening to too much anti-vax nonsense.

C’mon—a couple of good bribes will get these “scientists” back in line.

These days “scientists” are back alley whores on a Saturday night.

This 3rd dose crap is purely political by the folks who want to keep mandates and restrictions going as long as possible. IMHO, Delta is doing us a favor by driving us to herd immunity and reducing COVID-19 to endemic status.

It’s silly for folks to panic over every single “case” (i.e., positive test result).

Brilliant! Biden is forcing experimental COVID vaccines on Americans and their children because he is listening to “anti-vaxx nonsense”. Absolutely Brilliant!!

The FDA is jealous of the CDC.

Kind of like how Navy admirals were saying the atomic bomb was dinky, till they got nukes.

First, know that if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC said you continue to be protected from infection and especially against serious illness. All the COVID-19 vaccine shots authorized by the FDA continue to be “highly effective in reducing risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death,” according to the CDC.

However, recent studies — such as one from Israel and another from the UK — suggest that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines may decrease after six or eight months and a booster shot may be needed to maintain high levels of protection against breakthrough COVID infections.

protected from infection

To folks familiar with the details it just means a non-zero, probably significant, level of protection.

To someone with no real interest with a quick read it sounds a lot like immunity and time to partee......

That is how words that can be technically true can operate in the real world as lies.
