The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday suggested that the definition of what constitutes being “fully vaccinated” may change as boosters become more commonplace, echoing a move handed down several weeks ago by Israeli officials.
For now, in order to meet the CDC’s criteria for being “fully vaccinated,” one has to have two shots of either the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson’s.
“We have not yet changed the definition of ‘fully vaccinated.’ We will continue to look at this. We may need to update our definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ in the future,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters in response to a question about whether the fully vaccinated status will one day be imperiled for those who have received two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or one dose of the J&J vaccine.
“If you’re eligible for a booster, go ahead and get your booster and we will continue to follow,” she added. Walensky did not offer a timeline or other details about a possible change.
Walensky’s comments Friday represent a reversal of a previous position she took during a COVID-19 briefing. In late September, she said that federal health officials are not considering changing the definition of “fully vaccinated” for the time being.
It comes after the CDC recently expanded the eligibility for booster doses, approving them for individuals who have received Pfizer or Moderna shots if they are either aged 65 and older or aged 18 and older in long-term care settings. The agency also ruled that anyone who is 18 and older who got the J&J vaccine can get a booster shot two months later.
In recent weeks, health officials in countries like Australia have publicly toyed with the idea of continuous booster shots as a prerequisite for employment or having a valid vaccine passport.
“We’re going to be getting into booster issues, so it won’t be your first or second dose, it’ll be, ‘have you had, have you had, your third?'” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said during a recent news conference. “And then the other issue will be, well who knows what variants are coming?”
But Israel in early September became likely the first nation to say the country’s so-called “green passes,” or a type of vaccine passport, would expire six months after the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Authorities in Bahrain followed suit, saying that those who are eligible for booster shots but don’t get them risk losing their vaccination status.
Both in Israel and Bahrain, vaccine passports are required to enter many venues such as restaurants, theaters, and bars. Several European countries including France and Italy have implemented similar measures nationwide.
Walensky on Friday also again called for people who haven’t got the COVID-19 vaccine to get vaccinated but stipulated that “no vaccine—even a boosted vaccine—provides 100 percent protection.”
Recent CDC data, meanwhile, shows that more Americans are getting booster shots than getting their first COVID-19 vaccination shot.
COVID-19 is the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
so f... the science; the definition will be

Wow! Who could have predicted that? I mean, aside from everyone....
I hope the mutants, GMOs, and mudbloods are happy.
They’re gonna have to take boosters FOREVER, now.
If we’re a little lucky, a couple of months from now we won’t need a “definition” because it won’t matter.
So we now have a third category of American: the fully vaxxed, the partially vaxxed and the unvaxxed.
the goalposts will NEVER EVER stop moving.
I’m not getting “vaccinated” again.
The virus beats the “vaccine” anyway. Most people going to the hospital got the jab.
People who got the jab can still spread it, if you read half the crap out there. If I get it and spread it, then why would anyone else who got vaccinated get it?
None of it makes sense!
I want to know what I have to keep getting put into my body perpetually by these guys?

After Fauchi’s caught in months’ worth of lies, does moving the goal posts surprise anyone?
Not so long ago, someone called BS on me when I said this was an issue.
3 months after your second shot, they will no longer consider the “fully vaccinated” “vaccinated”.
If you die from covid after that 3 month period as “fully vaxxed”, your death will be listed as “unvaccinated” without the booster.
This is how they have their “pandemic of the unvaccinated”.
They are liars.
And the partially vaxxed will be lumped in with the unvaxxed for purposes of creating stats to make the vaccines desirable.
You read it first on the FreeRepublic a year ago.
Of course...
If will be whatever the democrats and it’s CDC cohorts want to define as “fully vaccinated”.
Probably won’t accept the natural immunity, and won’t accept vaccinations if not “during the last 3 months” and must submit to questions about whether one supports Trump, and won’t accept ‘fully vaccinated’ unless one is a democrat.

“Fully Vaccinated” = “Fully Irrelevant”
To see what the CDC is going to do, just check Moderna and Pfizer sales and earnings. Maybe they are lagging a bit.
