FDA expected to authorize COVID vaccine booster shots this week
[JPost] - The Food and Drug Administration is slated to amend the emergency use authorizations for the Pfizer and the Moderna Covid-19 vaccines Thursday to allow immunocompromised people to get a third dose, NBC News reported.

The announcement is expected within the next 48 hours, but the timing could move, according to multiple sources.

#2 I got the J&J one jab at the beginning of May. What will be the guideline for getting the booster? Will each vax have its own specific booster? Will the gummint still pay?

#3 Will each vax have its own specific booster?

Probably. Although, eventually, the periodic boosters will become (relatively) cheap and long lasting (before use) protein vaccines.

Will the gummint still pay?

They offering unvaccinated rewards*. So, probably, yes.

*Incidentally, that gives me an idea. What about "If you avoid DUI for six months, we give you 100$."?

#6 OTOH, maybe they'll decide that people who got vaxxed and then got COVID anyway should be culled. That'll be a dis-incentive.

Welcome to the "New Normal".

Which Begs The Questions:
Will the VAX Passport become the official Voter ID for EVERYONE?

Will certain demographic groups be exempted until at until after the 2024 election aka Election Fraud II?

Who says getting vaxed and supplemental semi-annual (or More) boosters is a good idea.

Thank you for digging up some very timely data.
Driving the news: The study, conducted by "nference" and the Mayo Clinic, compared the effectiveness of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the Mayo Clinic Health System over time from January to July.


"Overall, it found that the Moderna vaccine was 86% effective against infection over the study period, and Pfizer's was 76%. Moderna's vaccine was 92% effective against hospitalization and Pfizer's was 85%.

But the vaccines' effectiveness against infection dropped sharply in July, when the Delta variant's prevalence in Minnesota had risen to over 70%.

Moderna was 76% effective against infection, and Pfizer was only 42% effective."

The effectiveness is even lower than the CDC reported and UK collected data we discussed yesterday.


Note: Mayo Clinic chose "nference" as its first Clinical Data Analytics Platform partner....

#21 And that the highest form of individualism is doing exactly what the government tells you to do.

And that teenagers have a markedly better grasp of decision making than adults.

And that Dollar General Amin has wonderful medical advice when he isn't turning the military into dancing eunichs.

And that one must have their prick punch card filled in order to vote.

And your very confident appraisal on how private businesses work.

And that there will be no side effects from mass house arrest.

Now, do I get the courtesy of Why The USA Needs a More Australian Government and Lockdown bit, or do we have to wait a couple weeks for that one?
