Sure enough, the United States is again awash in virus, with the incidence of new COVID-19 cases having soared 131 percent in the third week of July. To be clear, the vaccines available work well—especially the Pfizer and Moderna products based on mRNA technology. But it is likely that waning vaccine efficacy, coupled with a stubborn one-fifth of the adult population refusing any immunization, has opened the door for the dangerous mutant delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 to wreak havoc among the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.
That’s why the United States is going to need a third dose of mRNA vaccines; for the nation’s older population, the triple play is already overdue. “I don’t see the virus just disappearing,” said Stanley Plotkin, considered the godfather of vaccinology. The University of Pennsylvania vaccine inventor and immunologist told me that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should comply with requests from Pfizer, following Israel’s example, and immediately approve third-dose immunization for adults over the age of 60, with general triple dosing for all Americans to follow.
The data from vaccinated Israeli medical staff shows that while breakthrough infections aren’t life-threatening, they are also not benign: 19 percent of cases led to so-called “long-haul COVID-19,” featuring months of difficult symptoms that can include acute fatigue, depression, loss of stamina and muscle strength, brain fog, and other challenging disabilities.
A multinational study of six months’ use of two-dose Pfizer vaccine also found that efficacy wanes with time, from about 97 percent to a low of 86 percent—still robust. But none of the work involved delta variant exposure.

The science that says HCQ doesn’t work.
OMG son you’re still alive you need another Booster
Well, The Science is our god now, so...
Sounds like a White House Press Conference by the dumbest man in the Senate.
Let's Call it Joe Biden's Disease - JBD for short.
Was nauseous after the first paragraph.
My wife and I are thinking FU on a 3rd shot of moderna.
The 2nd one laid us both low for a few days, can imagine what the 3rd would do to us.
I don’t think I’ll need the booster, and I won’t get it until the FDA gives actual approval for general use.
Got the two Pfizer shots. Happy I did, given that a bad case of COVID could cause a resurgence of my cancer. But with all the VAERS reports, not getting the booster.
“The Science” in this case is agenda driven rather than Empirically driven...namely ut us not science at all but politics with a shabby lab coat thrown on to deceive fools.
That’s right. People who never gave you a ratzazz worth of thought before are suddenly very, very concered that YOU haven’t gotcher shot yet.
People in offices and agencies who had no trouble lying to you before now sweartagod they’re telling YOU the truth about the ‘rona.
People who can’t promise you that things will be any better or different for you tomorrow insist that YOU take their drugs NOW.
I take my lead from a nationally respected physician whom I've known for a decade. When he gets jabbed, I'll think about it.
Besides - an unvaxxed group is needed in order to measure whether the experimental vax works. Seems they should be paying people to not get vaxxed. Hey ... in the spirit of identity politix ... I self-identify as a member Los Placebos family.
Question for the vax-pushers and fake doctors in here, how many shots are you willing to go along with...2, 3, 4, 8? How about 1 per month as that is where you’re headed? Pissed yet?
The “science” is the last thing the various leftist government officials care about.
biden, fauxi, and the cdc recommending vaccines for our citizens to stop the spread of a virus while biden opens the border, invites, welcomes, and spreads thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic” reeks of hypocrisy and proves our government doesn’t care about our health and safety...
Nonsense.
“... the United States is again awash in virus”
Hyperbole and exaggeration.
No rigor allowed.
Sorry, not taking another jab of an experimental gene thingy that is actively killing people if not damaging their veins permanently.
Nada, not doing it.
