WASHINGTON (AP) — Drugmaker Pfizer is expected to request authorization this week for an additional COVID-19 booster dose for seniors, according to a person familiar with the matter.

It would add a fourth dose to the regimen, which currently consists of a primary series of two shots, followed months later by a booster dose, in an effort to provide maximum protection to the over-65 population that has been hit hardest by the pandemic.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control must approve the request. The person who spoke about the upcoming Pfizer authorization request spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.

“We’re continuing to collect and assess all available data and we’re in continuous, open dialogue with regulators and health authorities to help inform a COVID-19 vaccine strategy as the virus evolves,” said Pfizer spokeswoman Jerica Pitts.

Pfizer needs to give more shots to somebody, since their under five plans were put on hold.

I thought the ‘RATs ended their Kung Flu dempanic when they started their ‘WAG THE DOG II’ to try to kick Pedo Jo Jo’s poll numbers in the butt and take everyone’s minds off their skyrocketing gas prices.

Translation: Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is pissed at Maderna’s CEO Stéphane Bance’s nearly 1 billion dollar golden parachute and he is going to do something about that on the Taxpayers back. Even if that takes 6 booster shots.

Can anyone answer a simple question: What’s the difference in the formulation between what is/was in Pfizer shot #1 and what is in proposed Pfizer shot #4? If it’s the same “special sauce”, then we all know it’s worthless.

If it’s “different” doesn’t that make the entire “Fully FDA Approval/EUA process” a fraud?????

Coronaviruses typically last from Nov 15 - March 15th.
We are talking about a Coronavirus Feb 2020

On top of that it means the first 3 failed if you have to get 4th. What other “vaccine” requires 4 shots?

This is one senior that isn’t interested.

When the good Lord is ready for me to go, so will I.

One booster at a time until the desired number of deaths has been reached.

There you go again trying to use common sense. That’s so “my grandparents thinking”. You gotta move forward into the stupid zone and get with the program. /s

Well, they sure do have a set on them, pushing a fourth shot after it was revealed that they were hiding bad testing results.
