Now the World Health Organization has waved the white flag on Covid vaccine boosters too.

WHO released a statement about Covid vaccines yesterday. It’s filled with the usual public health jargon and arse-covering, but one line stands out:

a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.

It’s over, people.

A reformulated/updated vaccine is still on the table though.

You are assuming politicians will have integrity and common sense.

Just a quick google search on the bolded part and you get an entire page of Legacy Media articles on the same subject.

I just rather link Alex Berenson when he is reporting on it because has been a straight shooting independent reporter on this entire COVID debacle and had to leave the New York Times to maintain that independence.

“Until such vaccines are available, and as the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolves, the composition of current COVID-19 vaccines may need to be updated, to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines continue to provide WHO-recommended levels of protection against infection and disease by VOCs, including Omicron and future variants,” the WHO said.


The panel has said that new COVID-19 vaccines need to be based on strains that are genetically and antigenically close to the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant(s) and elicit immune responses that are broad, strong, and long-lasting in order to reduce the need for successive booster doses.

The panel has recommended vaccine manufacturers to consider a monovalent vaccine that elicits an immune response against the predominant circulating variant(s), although this option faces the challenge of the rapid emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and the time needed to develop a modified or new vaccine. The panel has also recommended a multivalent vaccine containing antigens from different SARS-CoV-2 VOCs; or a pan SARS-CoV-2 vaccine – a more sustainable long-term option that would effectively be variant-proof.



Sounds like they are moving to a yearly flu style vaccine.

The booster isn't harmful, rather have peace of mind that I am protected.

They lost the mandate with Omicron. Spain is announcing that they will treat this like seasonal influenza. These threats of mandates and ridiculous measures are just to squeeze as much profit out of this as they can.

It does not. But it does mean pharma is going to have to develop new boosters to deal with new strains instead of just “keep taking boosters for the original virus that is pretty much gone.”

Not against vaccines by any stretch but when the only answer is “keep taking the same shot” you know it’s not an effective mitigation any more.
