Buckle up.

AXIOS

The first Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus could require a third "booster" shot as early as September, the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna told Axios.
Driving the news: "The data that I see coming, they are supporting the notion that likely there will be a need for a booster somewhere between eight and 12 months," Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said yesterday during an Axios event.
That means some Americans could need a booster as soon as September or October, he added.
State of play: Only time will tell how long protection from the first two vaccine doses will last, but there's no evidence yet that it's fading. Even if protection does begin to fade — which is common among vaccines — it won't happen overnight.
quote:
What they're saying: "I think we will almost certainly require a booster sometime within a year or so after getting the primary [shot] because the durability of protection against coronaviruses is generally not lifelong," NIAID director Anthony Fauci told Axios' Mike Allen at the same event.

Will there be a later booster so people can upgrade their Vax Level to higher levels?

It'll be like that card you get at the barber shop.

Why just get a vaccine passport when you could get a premium vaccine passport.

Well if Fauci said it, then it must be true. When was he EVER wrong about anything?

Most health professionals I read seriously doubt the need for boosters.

They'd take shots of human poop if it meant another few mill added to their bonus.

It is going to be like the yearly flu shot. So?
Posted on 5/20/21 at 9:19 am to EKG

So in other words its a lot like the flu where you get a booster every year?
Was this worth tanking the economy for?
