Are Boosters still a thing?
They are strongly recommended by the US CDC, and the US FDA is now only charged with recommending what to target in updated boosters.
Understand the US FDA no longer approves the concept of a booster, or any vaccine at all for children, and no longer holds meetings of traditional experts. I.e., it's only administrative now. The last time there were traditional expert panels, they were rejected Dr. Krause's team, who then resigned after Pfizer's CEO pre-announced both Boosters for the general population, and vaccinations for kids, after Dr. Krause and the team rejected approvals (all but 2 against boosters for adults, unaminously against any vaccine for children).
That's how this works since fall of 2021. The FDA just identifies what to target, and they are updated accordingly. We're past how we used to do things before 2021 Summer, as Dr. Kesselheim (the media darling that took down Pharma during the Opoid epidemic) warned at the end of 2021 Spring the FDA had changed. I.e., the will approve anything, even over unanimous rejection by expert panels, and even the FDA's own top experts running drug and vaccine reviews. It's just how it is now.
Most of the former FDA experts are continuing to warn against imprinting, especially after the CDC withheld information that the first round of update boosters, where the payload actually changed, ended up being worse than the original booster, and that showcased itself. That's also when President Biden asked for Walensky's resignation from the CDC, and the FOIA releases came out and showed the CDC had also withheld children's data from Dr. Krause earlier because the vaccines had no efficacy for children. Natural immunity is also considered the primary defense against spreading respiratory diseases when only an intramuscular, IgG antibody predominant vaccine exists, and no intranasal, IgA antibody option is available, as the NIH predicted as well in mid-2020.
But if you say 'imprinting' or 'natural immunity,' despite Dr. Krause and Dr. Offit now warning where we are headed, you are considered a 'right-winger.' But if you step outside the world of US investors and Pharma, and over to Europe, you'll get a completely different view from the EMA, let alone the 4 Scandinavian countries. I don't know what to tell you ... but we're ****ing ourselves. Even Germany has admitted their forceful vaccination of young people with tainted, poor yield vaccines early on that the EMA only allowed to ship because they were only supposed to be given to the elderly, has over 0.5% of their population scheduled to receieve financial awards and medical waivers for injuries.
We're looking at a serious loss of confidence in the US federal agencies handling this, compared to the rest of the world. And we're laughed at because we're still pushing vaccines are the only way, along with the argument imprinting doesn't exist, natural immunity doesn't matter, and younger people aren't being harmed , despite the fact that ...
Coronaviruses have never and were never an epidemic for young people ... ever, in history.
