Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a Friday briefing that the agency is working to "pivot" its language regarding what it means to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Responding to a question about why the CDC is not changing the definition of the phrase to include a booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the health leader told reporters that it is working to "pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should be, based on when they got their last vaccine."

“ We’re gonna mandate boosters without saying outright that we’re mandating boosters”
if i live alone and stay in my apartment...alone....i have to get vaccinated why?
“Studies in several countries have determined that the vaccine boosters provide little if any additional protection against omicron (95% of current cases) and may even have an overall negative impact on your immune system. Fauci and the CDC are committed to sticking with a strategy that has been shown to be flawed.”
Meanwhile our current vaccines are basically worthless as stated by the Pfizer CEO!
Pfizer CEO: Our Vaccines Offer ‘Limited, If Any Protection’

Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots.
The statement from Bourla comes as the Biden administration continues to justify vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors and private businesses. The Supreme Court heard arguments about President Biden’s mandates for private companies and medical workers last week. A ruling is expected soon on the constitutionality of the mandates.
A number of people who have pointed out the waning efficacy of Pfizer’s vaccines, which Bourla touted last year as being “100 percent” effective against contracting or transmitting the virus, have been banned by social media companies.

Omicron Makes Biden’s Vaccine Mandates Obsolete
“There is no evidence so far that vaccines are reducing infections from the fast-spreading variant. ... there have been mass Omicron outbreaks in heavily vaccinated populations, scientists are highly uncertain the existing vaccines can stop it from spreading. ... there should be sufficient evidence that the vaccine is efficacious in preventing serious infection and/or transmission.” For Omicron, there is as yet no such evidence. ...
The little data we have suggest the opposite. One preprint study found that after 30 days the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines no longer had any statistically significant positive effect against Omicron infection, and after 90 days, their effect went negative—i.e., vaccinated people were more susceptible to Omicron infection. Confirming this negative efficacy finding, data from Denmark and the Canadian province of Ontario indicate that vaccinated people have higher rates of Omicron infection than unvaccinated people.

The Left and Words
Figured you had misspoke...
A vaccine that doesn’t keep you from getting or spreading the virus isn’t really a vaccine-it is just an experimental treatment for it, and anyone who takes any of the jabs is part of the clinical trial-remember, the trials on this stuff were rushed up and nowhere near finished because of the haste to get to market-there are plenty of safer treatments-HCQ, Ivermectin-even the natural regimen for prevention I use-D3, Zinc, C, Quercetin, etc-and regular old Zicam, Oscillicoccinum and other remedies if you do get the Wuhan, etc-it is plain that this is all about the money$$$$ and the control-that’s what dems get off on-they don’t get that a growing number of us are not interested in playing any more...
I would hope Robert Kennedy Jr. would get more traction on the Libtard side of the Aisle, but they are all “big Pharma can do no wrong”
Asking someone under oath if the reason they never looked for a treatment was because the only way to get an “Emergency Use Authorization” is that no treatment is available, should be a priority when we win back the house from these loons.
“Pivot the language” = Change the definition of “vaccination” (again).
The CDC’s definition of vaccine was “provides immunity” but they revised it about 7-8 months ago when it became obvious the “vax” didn’t didn’t provide immunity and required booster shots (which by the way don’t provide immunity either).
This whole thing is downright dystopian.
“Treasonous CDC” how do you like that pivot?
I first saw mention of this change of language a couple of weeks ago.
following is dated 5 Jan 2022 in search results:
Updated 16 Jan: CDC: Stay Up to Date with Your Vaccines
Get Vaccinated and Stay Up to Date
Up to date means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible.
Fully vaccinated means a person has received their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines...
CDC recommends that everyone 5 years and older get their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, and receive a booster dose when eligible...
Pfizer-BioNTech
Booster Dose
Everyone ages 12+ should get a booster dose at least 5 months after the last dose in their primary series.
Teens 12–17 should only get a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine booster
Everyone 18+ should get a booster dose of either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA COVID-19 vaccines)...
When Boosted
A person is considered “boosted” and up to date right after getting their booster dose...
4) The primary series of this vaccination includes a third dose for people ages 5–17 years with moderate to severe immunocompromise. The third dose occurs 28 days after the second dose in the primary series...

Remember, to these people it’s all about the science. Not.
From wikipedia........ "A pivot language, sometimes also called a bridge language, is an artificial or natural language used as an intermediary language for translation between many different languages – to translate between any pair of languages A and B, one translates A to the pivot language P, then from P to B.
Oh...ok.. (???)
AP’s Zeke Miller feeds into the “up to date” line:
5 Jan: White House: Press Briefing by White House : COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials
MODERATOR: Let’s go to Zeke Miller at the AP.
Q Thanks for doing this today. For Dr. Walensky, I know (inaudible) questions about this over the last several months, but given the data you’ve discussed today about the benefits of booster doses and Dr. Fauci’s comments yesterday about, sort of, potential changes to CDC policy: Is the CDC going to change its definition of “booster doses”? Or —
And then, for Jeff: For people who are not fully ***up to date with their vaccination — meaning they’re eligible but haven’t gotten a booster — should they be expecting to see, you know, that some of the prohibitions that people who are not fully vaccinated — you know, whether it comes to travel or employment with the federal government — that they would be subject to some of those prohibitions down the line?
MR. (JEFF) ZIENTS (White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator): Dr. Walensky first.
DR. WALENSKY: Yeah, super. Thank you, Zeke. So, individuals are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 if they’ve received their primary series. That definition is not changing.
But consistent with how public health has historically viewed or even talked about how we recommend vaccines, we are now recommending that individuals stay up to date with additional doses that they are eligible for. And we have now available how you can stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines based on what vaccine you have received and what age group you are in. And that is available now on the CDC website.
Back to you, Jeff.
MR. ZIENTS: So, Zeke, to repeat what Dr. Walensky just said: Someone is considered fully vaccinated if they receive their primary series of vaccines. So, if you think about the different requirements — I think you mentioned travel, the OSHA and CMS rules as other examples — that has not changed and we do not have any plans to change that.
I do think it’s really important to recognize the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated Americans. And completing the primary vaccination series is clearly a critical step to prevent severe outcomes, with boosters, as Dr. Walensky said, giving the highest level of protection. So, we will encourage everybody to get vaccinated and, when eligible, boosted.
As to the definition, someone is considered fully vaccinated if they received their primary series of vaccine.

***Fauce got the last word:
5 Jan: PBS Newshour: WATCH: CDC urges ‘up to date’ COVID shots but won’t change definition of ‘fully vaccinated’
The decision to keep the initial definition, established more than a year ago when the vaccines first rolled out, means that federal vaccination mandates for travel or employment won’t require a booster dose...
“Individuals are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 if they’ve received their primary series,” said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. “That definition is not changing.”...
“We are now recommending that individuals stay up to date with additional doses that they are eligible for,” Walensky added.
Similarly, Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 coordinator, said the administration was not considering an adjustment to require booster shots for international travel or for workers covered by a slew of vaccination mandates instituted by President Joe Biden to press tens of millions of Americans to get the shots.
“That has not changed and we do not have any plans to change that,” he told reporters during a White House briefing...
He added, “As to the definition, someone is considered fully vaccinated if they’ve received their primary series of vaccine.”
On Wednesday, shortly before the White House briefing, the CDC revised an agency web site that had been entitled “When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated” that defined the term and talked about what people could do after they achieved that level of protection.
It was retitled “Stay Up to Date with Vaccines,” and used the term “fully vaccinated” sparingly, to describe the primary series. Much of the site discussed additional and booster doses.
Asked about the change, a CDC spokeswoman said the definition of “fully vaccinated” has not changed. But she also said: “CDC will now use the phrase ‘up to date’ when talking about COVID-19 vaccination. CDC recommends that individuals stay ‘up to date’ by receiving any additional doses they are eligible for, according to CDC’s recommendations, to ensure they have optimal protection against COVID-19.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden’s top science adviser on the COVID-19 response, said Tuesday that the administration was shifting how it talked about vaccinations and getting booster doses.
***“We’re using the terminology now ‘keeping your vaccinations up to date,’ rather than what ‘fully vaccinated’ means,” he said during a National Institutes of Health lecture.

sigh
a couple came into my work today
they wore two masks each and were shocked that I have not been vaxxed
I live so dangerously.
The treatments available are/were decades old and cheap because the patent has run out-so they needed to create something new and expensive-the vaxxes, Remdesivir, etc to keep the pharma stockholders happy-but I’m sure no congresspeople were tipped off so they could buy in and make a fortune-AKA insider trading...s/
Covid Vaccines = Population Control/Annihilation
Doc forced me to come in to renew a perception..
Sitting in the waiting room a “doctor” came on the tv (it was on a home improvement channel) saying she suggests vaxing kids and tells all her parents that it’s safe and effective..
That’s when it slipped out “bull 💩”!
That got laughs and a “damn right it is” from just about everyone in the room.
I’m in a red area of a blue state but it warmed my heart.
A nurse did try to kill me with “the look”
Idc. Don’t like it? Don’t drag me in to check my blood pressure.
The CDC and Lewinsky Walensky are corrupt and full of crap.
Heh
Could the language in this announcement be worded any worse? I mean I had to re-read this 3 times to figure out what they were getting at. Maybe they just want to ‘claim they were right’ no matter what happens next?
