" Hopefully a year...."

Folks I don't see this ending well. I'm not coming back for no booster.....

Top FDA officials are uncertain over how soon COVID-19 booster shots are needed
  • The officials at the FDA remain uncertain over how quickly the fully vaccinated individuals for COVID-19 might need the booster shots.
  • “So, hopefully, you know, it would be nice if it’ll turn out that it’ll be a year before anyone might need a booster,” Dr. Peter Marks was quoted by CNBC as saying at a virtual press conference with high school and middle school journalists. on Covid-19 vaccines.
  • Dr. Marks is the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the FDA unit tasked with licensing over-the-counter and prescription drugs including vaccine products.
  • “It could be more, it could be a little less but ... this is just something we’re gonna have to figure out as we go,” Marks said adding “but we still don’t know.”
  • Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock echoed similar remarks pointing out that the regulators and scientists are not yet sure on the extent of immunity decline before vaccinated people become susceptible to the infection.
  • “As far as variants go, we’re just going to have to determine that currently the immune response to these vaccines is being tested against all the variants to see how strong it is against each of the variants. And we just hope a variant doesn’t arise that can elude our vaccines,” Woodcock said.
  • However, Dr. Rochelle Walensky director Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has told CNBC last week that the U.S. was planning for a potential need of COVID-19 booster shots “just in case.”
  • The views by FDA officials appear to diverge from some of the recent statements made by COVID-19 vaccine developers.

  • Some scientists including Dr. Tom Frieden, a former director of the U.S. CDC, recently questioned such a need citing lack of evidence.<-- GIVE THIS MAN A VOICE!!!!!!!
