Fauci: Vaccine booster isn’t needed now, but that could change

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday that the US government is not yet telling Americans who are fully vaccinated that they need a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, based on the current data, despite Pfizer saying it might be time for a third shot.
Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Fauci told CNN's Jake Tapper that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration is saying right now, "given the data and the information we have, we do not need to give people a third shot, a boost, superimposed upon the two doses you get with the mRNA (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccine) and the one dose you get with (Johnson & Johnson)."
Fauci said that there are ongoing studies evaluating if and when the US will recommend booster shots.
"There's a lot of work going on to examine this in real time to see if we might need a boost. But right now, given the data that the CDC and the FDA has, they don't feel that we need to tell people right now you need to be boosted," Fauci said.
Drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday it is seeing waning immunity from its coronavirus vaccine and says it is ramping up efforts to develop a booster dose and will soon publish data about a third dose of its vaccine that could protect people from variants.
The company also said it would seek FDA emergency use authorization for a booster dose in August.

    1. @Looaxe so… People and person are two different words. It’s not misspelled. It’s a completely different word. ….

      And I gave my argument directly under that. Would you like me to copy and paste it… Or do you just want to stop lying and running like a coward? Really it’s just about how silly you want to look at this point.

    2. @Luan Nguyen It’s not what I said or not.. Its literally how the scientific process works. Answers that science gives, is based off of a total amount of factual data that is available at that moment. When the data changes, they change their conclusion to fit the factual data. I don’t understand your logic here. Would you prefer they just ignore the new data and stay in one spot even though it’s wrong?

    3. @Looaxe Here you go! The portion of my response your running from. 😁👇
      “Next… I understand that is what you need to tell yourself about a total stranger to make your argument work for you… And maybe your just assuming that everyone else is like you, considering your original comment… But at the end of the day you have no way of actually knowing that, and so that’s just a silly made-up thing you said.”

  1. F all that. One day we need booster then tomorrow we don’t. 1 day the virus is over, the next 1 a variant is around and mask are required then mask are not required.

    1. Monthly jabs are coming. Their is already a big trial under way in Britain offering monthly jabs to see if it will cure long Covid.

  2. A “vaccine” so effective you need a booster shot… 2 months after taking the first two.

    Makes sense to me.

    1. the fact that nothing they say makes sense, yet they’ve got “fans“ who can bet their lives on any silly thing these people have to say , it baffles me

    1. @Trailobyte @ghosts of comments past
      I’m sure you read this persons timeline of events🤓 All verifiably facts.

    2. To the MAGA folks on this thread please PLEASE do NOT take any of the offered vaccines. The fewer of you voting in 2022 and 2024, the better. Thank you!

    3. @The last farewell Why do people assume it is the Maga or even political at all about taking the shot? Is that what your news is saying? Trump got the shot. He bragged about making the vaccine faster than God even though they all came out at the same time all over the world. What is going on with all the shot stuff is worldwide. The 3 Presidents that said they did not want to take the vaccines are all dead. This is not about American politics, this is about putting a quickly unknown new trial drug into your body. A drug, that they are having to bribe people with weed, beer, strippers, lottery cards, money, etc., to get. That alone seems off.

    4. ​@RON K From Harvard:

      “”A study published in the March 1, 2017, issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases investigated whether getting an annual vaccination against influenza (flu) can weaken your body’s natural ability to protect itself from the disease. Past studies have raised similar concerns. Researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway followed 250 health care workers. Some of them got a flu vaccination every year from 2009 through 2013. The others only received the vaccine once in 2009 and not in the years from 2010 to 2013. The researchers then took blood samples before the influenza season (and before people were vaccinated that season), from the members of both groups and looked at different markers to gauge how well their immune systems would respond to the influenza virus. They found that getting an annual flu vaccination did not weaken the immune system. As a group, the people who got the flu shot annually appeared to have a better immune response to influenza than those vaccinated only once.

      These researchers concluded that annual flu vaccination should be maintained and support the practice of rolling up your sleeve for that annual shot.””

    1. I think it will change as soon as they got enough people vaccinated. I think if they talk about boosters it would scare people away from getting the vaccine.

  3. They won’t end this BS because they found out it’s a very effective strategy in implementing lockdowns and manipulating elections.

  4. This is why people don’t trust these people. Next week they’re gonna say you need boosters. And they really want us to just “get over it”

    1. That’s what happens when they are still gathering data. They learn as we learn. It’s really not that hard to understand. Or at least it shouldn’t be, yet here you are

    2. @Karly Robinson he literally admitted to lying about the masks on a live podcast, but yeah keep living in a fantasy land.

  5. It is completely reasonable to wait for a vaccine that skipped an important trial to determine whether or not its side effects outweigh its benefit. Right now medical professionals are pushing the vaccine touting “data” as the basis for their decision. Try asking any department of human health services for a copy of their data via FOIA, you’ll be surprised what you find (according to the Michigan HHS – there is no “data” that they can provide…).

    1. Political stuff is b.s. This is going down everywhere. Presidents that don’t want to play, have died.

  6. I literally feel bad for anyone who got this crap pumped into them. But then I remember they’re democrat sheep, so I forget about it.

  7. Bloody hell I had the AstraZeneca vaccine and reacted to it . As a vulnerable adult – I’m NOT having anymore vaccines ..

  8. There is no light in this man.

    Do not be deceive Jesus warn us about this so many times.

    Remember this life is temporary for everyone. Live good with one another and TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

  9. Fauci: “it’s important we look at the DATA! data data data”
    Interviewer: “Why’d you stop looking at the data for breakthrough cases?”
    Fauci: “Shut up”

  10. The fact this conversation had to take place is a real grim glimpse into the mental health issues the US has. The sense of privilege will slay those who reject science.

  11. Why anyone believes anything Fauci says is beyond me. He’s a professional liar. He can go stick himself!

  12. Pfizer says boosters are MORE protective. The data is showing stacking even more protective. It would be too late if wait to see what happens, vacinnes are already released under emergency, we can’t wait for normal testing procedures. 😷
