Fauci: Changing Definition of ‘Fully Vaccinated’ to Include Boosters Is Being Evaluated

Pam Key 24 Nov 2021

Biden chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday on CNN that changing the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include those who had a booster shot was being evaluated.

Anchor John Berman said, “Now they are encouraging all adults to get boosters. What’s your definition of fully vaccinated?”

Fauci said, “Right now, officially the definition of fully vaccinated is still days is of the Moderna or Pfizer, and one dose of J&J. That’s the requirement when people talk about what is a requirement for this or for that. But that does not actually contradict the fact that we’re saying, as vaccine efficacy wanes, you need to get that booster to bring you right up. We will evaluate as we get more data.”

He added, “We don’t know, now, how long the booster effect is going to last. If it lasts for a considerably longer period of time, meaning the durability of the booster allows you to go for a considerable period of time without getting another booster, in that very well might be determined to be the full vaccination that we talk about. ”

Fauci added, “If it turns out that it wanes again, and you may need an intermission shot, the way we do with influenza, then fully vaccinated will still be the original vaccination, but you may need to update it and upgrade over the years. I hope it’s the former, John. I hope that what we get is a maturation of the immune response that goes well beyond the six months where we’re starting to see the waning now. That’s my hope that we see that. But we will just have to go with the data, not what we hope for. We look at the data and make a determination with the data.”

Of course, change in the wrong direction. 

The sensible change would be to replace "fully vaccinated" with something like "presumptively immune" that would include both everyone who had a confirmed case and recovered and everyone who got the standard course of vaccinations.

As for boosters, they really need to be deploying new versions which specifically target the delta variant (and the variant identified in Zimbabwe recently, that will probably be designate nu), rather than encouraging folks to get repeats of the original vaccines. But hey, both those ideas would harm the bottom line at the state-favored pharmaceutical companies.

Hmmm..............so change the definition of Baseball and you can label it Rounders???
Wise leaders grasp the danger of incompetent subordinates, to their leadership reputation.
Assholery such as Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump and Biden, are eternally clueless.
As a result, plain people pay the price!!!
That an attention seeking hustler like Fauci still holds office clearly labels Bozo Biden.
