So, there is sufficient data for Pfizer and NOT Moderna?

Hmm.

May be time to consider short selling MRNA (Moderna). If this thing goes away soon they don’t have anything left to sell.

From Yahoo:

“DA staff said in documents that data for Moderna’s vaccine showed that a booster does increase protective antibodies, but the difference in antibody levels before and after the shot was not wide enough, particularly in those whose levels had remained high.”

I expect this will be a significant issue for some people who have been vaccinated with Moderna.

Hi everyone, I had AZ jab on April 25. The next day, felt pins and needles in my right hand and foot. Since then, it has spread to almost every part of my body. Saw neuro but he says hopes it will go away. I am horribly worried I have developed a chronic autoimmune disorder. Any possibility it could still go away? I am closing in on 6 months. Any ideas for treatment? Right now, just trying to eat healthy, exercise, remain as calm as possible.

Hello. I took pfizer 2nd dose on 26 Sept and I’m still suffering from the side effects. I did have shortness of breath and light headedness bfr taking the 1st pfizer jab and I was told it’s anxiety. My symptoms have got worse after the 2nd jab 😢. It’s week 3 and I have weakness in my legs. My calf muscles feel so hard. I do feel pins and needles at times and left arm feels numb too. I did a neuro conduction test which was normal and I’m so scared that it’s still not going away.. Feels like this forever and I am scared what this could be. I am not sure if I developed MS but I haven’t done MRI scan yet...I was deficient on vit D and I didn’t know taking the pfizer shot would make me worse.... I’m so lost, scared and don’t feel like my normal self. I’m scared I developed an autoimmune disease. Docs here think it’s all in my mind bcz my blood reports are normal. I really don’t know what to do or which doc to show anymore..!!

B-b-b-b-but I thought we all need boosters as the Moderna jabs wear off week by week and leave us defenseless.

What do they expect us all to do?

Sean Connery’s James Bond: “Do you expect me to talk?”

Auric Goldfinger: “No, I expect you to die.”

I’d have to look up the exact numbers, but the Moderna has nowhere NEAR the leak rate of the Pfizer. That’s probably why Moderna only tested a booster of HALF the dosage of its first two shots. Since Moderna doesn’t leak as much, a half dosage doesn’t give much more increase in antibodies.

Pfizer has a dramatic leak rate and tested a booster at the exact same dosage as the first two. So the booster’s results would be significantly higher.

Moderna might have to wait a bit to see just when its vaccine starts a more significant leaking and test with the higher dosage the authorities seem to want to see.

Boosters are not needed for the very robust Moderna vaccine.

You are correct. I just returned from Tampa area- while there in a restaurant ordering take out pizza, an elderly woman collapsed, ambulance called….I heard her husband say she has been having blood clots…I asked him was she vaccinated recently, he said “ yes, hasn’t everyone? “….yes, Moderna is robust….maybe Cliff Hill is correct….prepare for people dropping in supermarkets, on the road, on the plane, at work, ……

They’re probably waiting for the payout.

Pfizer likely laundered money into their pockets and the Biden regime.

Pay to play baby. Commie regime in place.

Okay. So why has Moderna sought FDA approval to introduce one?

My antibody levels from Moderna 6 months later are at max detectible. No reason to take a booster shot anytime soon.

Good stuff.

Did he specify she had taken the Moderna jab though? Sounds more synonomous with J&J which offers less protection but also curiously has not been boostered yet.

Not at all. That’s simply my conclusion from the results of the Mayo Clinic’s large scale and well designed study this summer comparing the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines efficacies over time.
