Latest Covid Boosters Are Set to Roll Out Before Human Testing Is Completed
WSJ ^ | 08/29/22 | Liz Essley Whyte

The FDA and vaccine makers say they are confident that shots targeting Omicron subvariants will work safely

The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize new Covid-19 booster shots this week without a staple of its normal decision-making process: data from a study showing whether the shots were safe and worked in humans.

The shots, modified to target the latest versions of the Omicron variant, won’t have finished testing in humans when the FDA makes its decisions.

Instead, the agency plans to assess the shots using data from other sources such as research in mice, the profiles of the original vaccines and the performance of earlier iterations of boosters targeting older forms of Omicron.

Testing??? You conspiracy theorists we do not waste time waiting for a test to complete. These endless boosters are safe and effective. But the public will still need a masks.

A vaccine so “safe” you have to be threatened to take it....

It’s an IQ test. I think we will have fewer dumb people in the future.

“I got the two shots a booster and covid.”

I know numerous people that got at least one covid shot and still got covid.....many more than once.

Personally I’ve never even been tested much less had covid.

A little exercise, a vitamin supplement regimen, some common sense personal hygiene practices and so far I’m fine.

None for me, thanks anyway.

Omicron has already had near universal spread and is now mutated many times over. Pointless to get a vaccine for it.

They can shove the vax into themselves. Covid is now a bad cold. The “crisis” is over. Move on to the next fake crisis.

The clinical tests are being conducted with every new jab that has been given since their initial rollout. Shoot first, and ask questions later...much later...like 75 years from now.

We have a lawless government.

It’s no different of them getting rid of 3 different FDA panel that would not agree to approve the boosters or allowing kids to get the jabs. Remember they had to bring in new people that would approve the jabs, boosters and allowing babies to get the jabs.

Even the CDC overruled the FDA on allowing kids to get these Experimental gene therapies.

That's ok. The human trials aren't finished for the originals.

Pfizer's COVID-19 Clinical Trial Phase 1/2/3 in clinicaltrials.gov https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04368728

Trial start date April 29, 2020. Estimated completion date February 8, 2024


Moderna's COVID-19 Clinical Trial Phase 3 in clinicaltrials.gov https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04470427

Trial start date July 27, 2020. Estimated completion date December 29, 2022


Normal for Phase 1/2/3 to be run concurrently? Doubt it. Normally, there is a Phase 4 which is when a portion of the public starts getting it and it's monitored.

Thank you for your participation and may the odds be ever in your favor.

‘pure blood’? Sounds rather ‘Aryan’.
