Moderna hopes to offer updated COVID-19 boosters in the fall that combine its original vaccine with protection against the omicron variant. On Tuesday, it reported a preliminary hint that such an approach might work.

Today’s COVID-19 vaccines all are based on the original version of the coronavirus. But the virus continues to mutate, with the super-contagious omicron variant — and its siblings — the latest threat.

Before omicron came along, Moderna was studying a combination shot that added protection against an earlier variant named beta. Tuesday, the company said people given that beta-original vaccine combination produced more antibodies capable of fighting several variants — including omicron — than today’s regular booster triggers.

While the antibody increase was modest, Moderna’s goal is to produce a combination shot that specifically targets omicron. “These results really give us hope” that next step will work even better, said Dr. Jacqueline Miller, a Moderna vice president.

Moderna has yet to prove its
genocidal creations are effective
(not for murder, or for making trillions of $$,
but as a vaccine which it is not),
and safe (obviously not).

Moderna’s Board and CEO belong in jail at GITMO
awaiting exposure.

Not just contagious, but the “super-contagious omicron variant.”

Wouldn’t you know it? I’m flying today and all those unmasked people in the airport and on the plane are going to make me sick.

The approval process needs to start over, no piggybacking on the original “special sauce”.

How about extensive animal testing as a start?

No more shots! I know people who are suffering after two doses and a booster. Dizziness, aches and pains, headaches, exhaustion.

While the antibody increase was modest, Moderna’s goal is to produce a combination shot that specifically targets omicron.

And by the time it is released, Covid will have mutated many generations beyond Omicron. This variant-chasing is marketing hype for a coronavirus vaccine that never worked as intended.

They can’t give up their big bucks even if it kills. It is a twofer. They make big bucks and depopulate too.

The czar of the Biden admin has a planned meeting May 12th to force these poison fake vaxes into everyone like it or not.

More ADE will cause more covid before elections and kill more people.

I suggest we figure out how we will stop these monsters as soon as possible.

That is a question that should be addressed. Maybe Jen Psaki will tell us. LOL
