Biden administration plans imminent booster expansion to all adults
Axios ^ | 11/16/2021 | Caitlin Owens

Posted on 11/16/2021 11:08:00 AM PST by Jan_Sobieski

The Biden administration is expected to begin the process of expanding the booster authorization to all adults as early as this week, according to a source familiar with internal planning.

Why it matters: America's booster campaign got off to an underwhelming start, potentially leaving millions of vulnerable people at risk as the holidays approach.

The big picture: The pandemic still isn't over, and the data is clear that vaccine effectiveness has waned over time and with the rise of Delta — but also that a booster dose restores protection against the virus to remarkable levels.

Despite disagreement among experts about who needs a booster, there's broad consensus that older people and at least some with underlying health conditions should get an additional dose around six months after their first series.

But only 36% of Americans 65 and older have received a booster shot, according to the CDC.

"As every month goes by, the immunity wanes more and more. So as time goes by, you’re going to see more vaccinated people" becoming more vulnerable to the virus, NIAID director Anthony Fauci told Axios. The vast majority of breakthrough cases — particularly among younger people — aren't severe. But "as is always the case, the elderly are more vulnerable, because they're more likely to have waning of protection over time…”, Fauci said.

Are they saying they are going to make it available or are they again looking for methods to force it?

“experts—there’s broad consensus”

At one time there was a broad consensus among experts that phlogiston was real.

transHUMANS are owned by the very BioPharma(s)
that made the genocidal, sterilizing, non-classical
monocyte-inducing DNA-operating systems
that paid off “the BIG GUY” to mandate them.

what a coincidence. not.

followed by yet another mandate. Brandon is busy making the yellow stars for the “un-boosted” to wear along with the “unvaxed.” At this rate, most Americans will be wearing a yellow star, and he’ll have to issue red stars to tell us apart.

Unboosterized suddenly join the ranks of “not fully vaxxed” i.e., subject to firing or perpetual weekly nasal invasions

I WILL NOT COMPLY. Didn’t take the original, won’t take the booster, even if they fire me. And MILLIONS agree.

Safe and Effective? Clearly there are a lot of people starting with Fauci on down, including ALL the executives of the Drug companies that made this poison, that they committed FRAUD and we need a New Nuremberg Trial to bring it to the forefront so the whole world knows why we EXECUTED ALL OF THEM after they were tried and convicted

Too many found out it is a poison and doesn’t work like all gummit programs.

so if the delta variant has a spike mutation to evade the current vaccine, why would giving you a “booster” same vaccine do anything to the evolved delta variant?

so my basic science question is on this so called “booster:” has pfizer changed the spike mrna encoding been to match the delta virus? is it encoded for both the legacy and the delta variant?
