Fauci says that based on current data from CDC, FDA, there's no need for booster shot
By Caroline Vakil - 07/11/21 09:50 AM EDT

Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that there is no need for Americans to get a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot, according to current data by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and Federal Drug Administration (FDA).

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” CNN host Jake Tapper asked the nation's leading infectious diseases expert if booster shots could theoretically help vulnerable people, referring to a Reuters report that said Israel would start offering a third Pfizer shot to adults it considered vulnerable.

“Well, certainly they theoretically could. What the CDC and the FDA were saying, Jake, is that right now given the data and the information we have, we do not need to give people a third shot, a boost superimposed upon the two doses you get with the mRNA and the one dose, you get with [Johnson&Johnson],” Fauci said.

However, Fauci said that research is currently being conducted to determine if this guidance will change. He cautioned that the current guidance did not imply it would not be changed later.

What a POS.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

There's "no need" until he decides there is next week.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

The FDA - a totally different agency - has at least tentatively decided that there is insufficient benefit to approve use of a booster (= third, supplementary, shot). Fauci was just me-too-ing the FDA.

As best I've seen, there is measurable benefit to a booster, but the benefit is quite small (statistically; measurable does not equal significant). IMO, the booster kerfuffle and variants Panic Porn are FUD, not substantial.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
