Only 2% of Americans Have Gotten Updated Coronavirus Booster Shot

About 7 million Americans have received the updated versions of the coronavirus vaccines, compared to the 56.5 million people who received last year’s version.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data shows that the major vaccine manufacturers, Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, have gotten their updated shots out to about 2 percent of the population as of Wednesday, Reuters reported.

These updated vaccinations are “single-target shots aimed at coronavirus’s XBB.1.5 omicron subvariant of the coronavirus, which was the dominant variant in the U.S. for much of this year but has since been overtaken as the virus continues to evolve,” the outlet noted.

Another COVID vaccine manufacturer, Novavax, also has millions of doses on the way after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the shot last week for emergency use in ages 12 years or older.

According to the FDA, the updated vaccine “addresses currently circulating variants to provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.”

While millions of Americans who received coronavirus vaccines last year have not yet opted to get the current ones formulated for “better protection,” debates about the shots’ efficacy have made rounds in pop culture.

On Tuesday, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers challenged Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs to a debate on the vaccine a week after joking that the tight end is “Mr. Pfizer” for doing an advertisement for the pharmaceutical company.

During his appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers proposed that a debate be held between him and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against Kelce and Anthony Fauci.

People who’ve had Covid at least 5 times describe how the illness changed with each reinfection
nbc ^

“I’ve seen a few patients with five infections,” said Dr. Grace McComsey, vice dean for clinical and translational research at Case Western University. “Sadly, they were immunized and they still got Covid five times.”

Maybe there’s hope after all. Well, ok, we still have to live with the fact that a large portion of the population wouldn’t hesitate to send people to quarantine camps, but at least they’re not running to get another “booster”.

Libtards are kinda slow on the uptake.

They talk the talk and that is about it.

It baffles me about the information fed is all the same, yet the outcomes so different.

I tend to think liberals are just not looking out for anything.

The capacity isn’t there.

I've known people who took the vaccine and got COVID with symptoms anyway. Many of them have indicated they were aware of people who were not vaxxed, had gotten COVID with symptoms, and they were no worse off than the vaccinated.

Our DIL took the J&J vaccine, primarily as protection for her parents. Funny thing, her parents ended up catching COVID anyway and not from being exposed to her. One parent was mildly ill, and the other was moderately ill. DIL has skipped the boosters.
