FDA Panel Votes 16–3 Against Approving Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Shots
Epoch Times ^ | September 17, 2021 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 09/17/2021 1:38:47 PM PDT by NoLibZone

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel on Friday voted 16-3 to recommended against providing booster shots of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 16 and older.

Throughout the meeting, independent scientists to the FDA struck a skeptical tone on the need for boosters, or third doses, for Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for the general public. The advisory panel’s discussion is the first major test for the Biden administration’s vaccination agenda as top health officials last month announced they would try to roll out boosters for everyone by Sept. 20.

While U.S. health officials, some other countries and vaccine makers have argued that boosters are needed, many scientists, including some inside the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have disagreed. Booster doses have been previously recommended by the CDC for immunocompromised individuals.

But to boost arguments against boosters being recommended for the general population, an FDA slide said the risk of COVID-19 for a or healthy 30-year-old is just 0.0004 percent, or 1 in 250,000. Some recommended a booster for older individuals but several experts said they want more data about whether the booster shots can contributed to myocarditis.

JUST IN: Vaccine advisers to the FDA have voted unanimously to recommend emergency use authorization of a booster dose of Pfizer’s vaccine six months after full vaccination in people 65 and older and those at high risk of severe Covid-19.

Biden will be wheeled out in front of cameras soon to say “this isn’t about science. Our patience is wearing thin.”

They just voted to approve shots for over 65 people and “those at high risk”.

Yesterday’s evening news was all about too many who got their first jabs aren’t going back for their second jabs.

So, all the people that have gotten 2 shots and a booster, or soon they get a booster, what do they do in a few weeks when the booster wears off?

All the people under 65 who have gotten 2 shots that don’t work anymore because too much time has gone by, what do they do?

I feel sorry for those who got the jab. What a complete sh*tshow.

FDA decides that Biden is foolish to push a 3rd booster shot on Americans.

Boosters wear off.

LOL

Looks like the FDA is now a science denier candidate, amongst
the Biden/spHarris camp.

That’s good because boosters are not needed. If the immunity works from the first shot(s) then it should be good for decades.
