WHO says COVID boosters needed, reversing previous call

GENEVA (AP) — An expert group convened by the World Health Organization said Tuesday it “strongly supports urgent and broad access” to booster doses, in a reversal of the U.N. agency’s previous insistence that boosters weren’t necessary and contributed to vaccine inequity.

In a statement, WHO said its expert group concluded that immunization with authorized COVID-19 vaccines provide high levels of protection against severe disease and death amid the global circulation of the hugely contagious omicron variant.

It said vaccination, including the use of boosters, was especially important for people at risk of severe disease.

WHO noted that the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are all based on the strain that was first detected in Wuhan, China more than three years ago.

“Since then, there has been continuous and substantial virus evolution and it is likely that this evolution will continue, resulting in the emergence of new variants,” the agency said. It added that coronavirus vaccines would likely need to be updated.

Look at it from Big Pharma's point of view....tens of billions of dollars are at stake, and they have bought and paid for our politicians and MSM networks.

Masks are effective! ... Masks don't work!

Vaccines are effective! ... You need a booster!

No booster necessary! ... Wait, get a booster!

Boosters are effective! ... Unless it's been more than a month or two!


The "story" keeps changing. Not because anything real is changing. They just want and need to keep jerking people around, controlling them.

Now they're trying to repackage climate change using the same techniques and themes that worked so well during the scam-demic. If they succeed our freedoms are gone. Because "climate change" will never mutate away and become endemic. They are using the war in Ukraine as a distraction while they set the stage for their end goal - ongoing, never ending, climate crisis.

There is an angle being worked to take down Big Pharma (specifically Pfizer & Moderna) by a former Wall Street guy, Edward Dowd. This is a person who is concerned about his fellow human beings & super alarmed/pissed off at the fraud that occurred in getting these “vaccines” approved under EUA (the only ‘vaccine’ component of the shots is calling them a ‘vaccine’). I first heard Ed interviewed on War Room. From there he went to the Thomas Paine Podcast & he’s done a ton of interviews lately. Wall Street hedge fund/portfolio managers are catching on - selling & shorting the stocks. Individuals are selling the stocks, many from more of a ‘moral’ standpoint when they see what the b@stards have done. Jabs were mandated for the Wall Street firms - the investment folks are pissed when they see the data coming out (horrendous death toll & NOT from COVID itself). Ed is releasing a chart a day this week that tells the tale of what has really transpired.

I would recommend catching up with Dowd - he’s not only on to something, but both Pfizer & Moderna shares are dropping significantly. Here is the latest interview on the Thomas Paine podcast with Ed Dowd .... btw, I listened to Part 3 twice ... broke my heart, frankly.

At this point, anyone taking those jabs is of questionable intellect. Cut some slack for those at risk early on, but now? No way!
