Anxious about a surge of coronavirus infections enveloping Europe as cases tick up in the United States, senior health officials in the Biden administration are pressing urgently to offer vaccine booster shots to all adults. But support for the renewed push is not unanimous.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky has expressed caution about making extra shots so broadly available now, according to several officials familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. As a result, tension is rising among officials over how quickly to proceed and who should get the shots.

The debate comes at a critical time for the Biden administration, with top advisers growing increasingly fearful the country could slide backward into a fifth pandemic wave amid colder weather and declining vaccine protection. Eager for the president to push his economic agenda, many aides see expanding booster access as a way to backstop progress against the highly transmissible delta variant. Allies also see defeating the pandemic as critical to Democrats’ success in next year’s midterm elections.

Correction: Allies also see defeating the pandemic as critical to Democrats’ success in next year’s midterm elections should be Allies also see defeating extending the pandemic as critical to Democrats’ success in rigging next year’s midterm elections.

Their answer to shots that aren’t working is, of course, more shots.

There is a distinct difference between “making available” and “mandating” a particular option.

No thinking person wants the mandate. There are just too many unknowns with this frankly experimental mRNA vaccine, and the side effects appear to have been summarily dismissed by the “authorities”. The side effects DO exist, and the risk factor COULD be assessed at this point, but nobody seems inclined to follow up, nor to really determine a risk/benefit ratio in a meaningful manner.

Either by now, one of three things have happened. You are naturally immune, through exposure and having had the disease, or because of a quirk in physiology on a personal level which means that the individual may NEVER acquire the disease. You have had the series of immunization shots, and there is some temporary immunity acquired, but this is spotty and does not work the same in everybody. Or you are doomed to die.

We do not have an epidemic of COVID-19 Wuhan virus We have an epidemic of fear porn about just about every aspect of the management of the disease, while the disease itself has managed to fall to an insignificant level of lethality.

Make this available too...let people choose.

[SaveFerris]

Yep

The 27th shot 💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉
💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉 will get you fully-immunized (I didn’t count lol)

(Rochelle, Rochelle)

I’ll wait for the musical.

(slide backward into a fifth pandemic wave)

Ah, OK

(the highly transmissible delta variant)

Must have been what happened at Obama’s Super-Spreader Event.

You know, the large group of people without masks.

This Coronaa Virus Poison is avvailable to ALL Adults who want it.

Fortunately, the American People have seen the statistics of the Injuries and deaths caused by it and they’re refusing to continue taking it.

If anyone needs another reason not to get vaccinated, consider this: what has Clueless Joe done since his election that HASN’T inflicted damage on the American people? Why would his obsession with getting us vaccinated be any different? Wouldn’t a harmful shot, or at least an ineffective vaccine, be absolutely consistent with his agenda to destroy us?

That makes sense to me. But there are those here who figure that, since "Operation Warp Speed" took place on Trump's watch, well, what could possibly be wrong with these "miracle" vaccines?

[Secret Agent Man]

They can shove those death shots right up their @ss.

[silverleaf]

“ making shots available” is going to turn into “ making more shots required”

Bing bang bong

Over 150 million Americans will turn again into “ not fully vaxxed” ( aka UNVAXXED) with the stroke of a pen by that walleyed idiot woman running the CDC

[roving]

I want to see him take the real one

[Republican Wildcat]

“available” is fine...being forced to take them is another.

[Allegra]

What’s really sad is how many people are still falling for all of this. The sheep will trot right off and get as many boosters as Dear Leader tells them to get.

“Made available” at government gunpoint.

Unfortunately, President Trump depended on the FDA and the pharmacy companies to develop a vaccine. What we got, wasn't. So the blame resides with the FDA, and to the nice folks who have shut down the Scientific Method by silencing any discussion by peers. Except in countries other than the good ol' USA.
