Now they want to jab you every 6 months instead of 8 This is yet another Dr Yeadon prediction from early this year that has now come true. DJ Biden Administration Plans Covid-19 Vaccine Boosters at Six Months Instead of Eight By Stephanie Armour and Jared S. Hopkins Federal regulators are likely to approve a third Covid-19 shot for vaccinated adults starting at least six months after the second dose rather than the eight-month gap they previously announced, a person familiar with the plans said, as the Biden administration steps up preparations for delivering boosters to the public. Data from vaccine manufacturers and other countries under review by the Food and Drug Administration is based on boosters being given at six months, the person said. The person said approval for boosters for all three Covid-19 shots being administered in the U.S. -- those manufactured by Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE, Moderna Inc. and Johnson & Johnson -- is expected in mid-September. A White House spokesman declined to comment. An FDA spokeswoman declined to comment on interactions with vaccine manufacturers. A White House spokesman declined to comment. An FDA spokeswoman declined to comment on interactions with vaccine manufacturers. Pfizer and BioNTech said Wednesday that they had asked U.S. health regulators to authorize boosters of their Covid-19 vaccine and submitted additional data showing a third dose improves protection against the virus. The FDA granted full approval to the vaccine on Monday. Biden administration officials have said they hope full approval will encourage more people to get vaccinated, pushing up inoculation rates that recently climbed past 60% of the eligible U.S. population. Pfizer said it couldn't comment on potential regulatory decisions. Moderna said Wednesday that it had completed filing for full approval of its vaccine, which uses similar mRNA technology as the Pfizer-BioNTech shot. Full approval of Moderna's vaccine is expected in about three months, the person familiar with the matter said. Johnson & Johnson has said it plans to file for approval later this year. Federal officials last week recommended that adults who received a two-dose regimen of mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer's begin receiving booster shots in September. Officials said at the time that the shots would be administered about eight months after the second dose for people ages 18 and older. Boosters will be administered at the 80,000 pharmacies and other vaccination sites operating across the U.S. The effort hinges on FDA clearance of the additional shots, and a recommendation by a vaccine advisory committee of outside experts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health authorities already have authorized booster shots for people 12 years old and above whose immune systems are compromised. People 65 and older and individuals in chronic-care facilities are expected to get boosters first, along with health workers and anyone else who was vaccinated earliest, according to federal health officials. Some public-health experts have said boosters aren't necessary based on data that shows ongoing protection against hospitalizations and death from the initial round of shots. Vin Gupta, health adviser to the Biden administration's postelection transition team, said he believes boosters should be reserved for people with compromised immune systems, older people and people with comorbidities such as diabetes. "I don't think there's any compelling data for boosters for everyone at eight months," Dr. Gupta said.

Wharfie, What would you like her to do, fly a plane? She's supposed to be the first female Vice President of America, isn't she? She should be up front and center over the deterioration of women's rights under the Taliban. She should be making calls and helping to coordinate humanitarian relief efforts to get refugees out of Afghanistan and help them to resettle. And I just thought of that off the top of my head. You couldn't? Surprise surprise, the guy who could think "outside the box" and send the homeless in San Francisco to Hillsborough couldn't think of ONE THING that Kamala Harris could be doing right now instead of politicking.
