The Science Says Everyone Needs a COVID-19 Booster Shot—and Soon
Foreign Policy ^ | July 2021 | Laurie Garrett

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.

When will China be called to account for this?
As for 1/5 being stubborn, we should be applauded for being the control group risking our lives or (if this turns into the great dying) for saving a remnant of the human race.

Looks like everyone will eventually get it - if it doesn’t soon burn itself out like a natural virus would.

China needs to pay.

BULL CRAP! The only people who need a 3rd shot are possibly the immunocompromised. And then possibly only after an antibody check, IMHO.

That would be because the Covid “vaccines” destroy your immune systsem.

“Top scientist & Canadian PM announce plan for every person to be forcibly injected 10 times a year!”

science would have measured the “virus”,
used Koch’s postulates,
measured things,
not lied,
never continued human testing after the animals died,
and especially after sterility was seen in human
BIGPHARMA workers’ mates,
and science would have never used the DNAoperating
systems on CHILDREN, or anyone without informed consent.

and
Americans mask:
why are there to be NO CONTROLS in the mandated population?

except all of the highest politicians and CEOs of BIGpharma?

The Science we’ve heard so far isn’t science at all.

That “science” can go f**k itself.
