Every year they adjust the flu shot for new variants... what is so unexpected about adjusting the Covid vaccine for new variants. Seems like a smart move.
If libtards actually gave a shit about covid, they would be demanding that their libtard overlords close the border. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-mu-covid-variant-now-found-in-49-u-s-states/ar-AAO9Uf6 New ‘mu’ COVID variant now found in 49 U.S. states Since being discovered in Colombia in January, the mu variant of COVID-19 has spread to nearly four dozen countries and has made its presence known in Hawaii and Alaska. It has so far been found in 49 states with Nebraska being the only state to not have a mu variant case detected. Health officials believe mu is even more transmissible that the delta variant and has the potential to resist vaccines.
The point is that Covid is here to stay. All of the fearmongering and doomsday bullshit needs to stop. Covid isn't going away. There will continue to be variants year after year regardless of vaccination levels. The fearmongering and blame game bullshit wrt to the unvaxxed is just that, complete bullshit. Really. At this point, we just need to forget about it and move on with our lives.
And it's on average a little less than 40 percent effective. You know like a pfe covid vaccine and delta about now.
Let's take a look at the objectives of the first generation Covid vaccines once again... The vaccines are still the pandemic's endgame https://www.axios.com/covid-coronav...age-25e64152-9c1f-4179-a33e-47fe47eb2537.html The goal of the COVID-19 vaccines was always to reduce death and severe illness. Even with the Delta variant, the vaccines are still doing that. But that message is getting lost, infectious disease and vaccine experts tell Axios. The big picture: Two-thirds of the world isn't fully vaccinated. To return to some semblance of "normal," health authorities need to emphasize how the vaccines aren't failing and drastically increase global vaccine production. Flashback: After the first vaccines were authorized and put into arms earlier this year, many people expected their high effectiveness would squash spread of the virus, especially among those who got the vaccine. But the original goal, even from vaccine makers like Moderna, was to "prevent severe disease, hospitalizations and death." "The idea was to take away this ability of the virus to cause severe disease," said Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease physician at the University of California San Francisco. "That's what the vaccines do. They're still doing it, even for people who received them in January, even for people who were in the vaccine trials who received them last summer." Between the lines: Infections among the vaccinated have raised concerns, but the chances of a vaccinated person being hospitalized or dying from COVID-19 are exceptionally rare. It's the unvaccinated who continue to be most at risk. "People think the vaccine at some level is failing. We're doing fine," said Paul Offit, a physician and vaccine expert at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "The problem is, the vaccine doesn't work if you don't get it." Zoom out: Getting more people vaccinated globally, however, means relying less on the Pfizer, Moderna and J&J shots, which are more complex to make and have not been shared equitably. "The tragedy is a science policy failure," said Peter Hotez, a vaccine researcher at the Baylor College of Medicine. "Everyone was so focused on innovation that nobody took a step back and said, 'Hey, wait a minute, shouldn't we also be making vaccines that we know we can scale now?'" What to watch: Hotez and colleagues at Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development have created a COVID-19 vaccine called Corbevax that uses traditional vaccine technology over the newer, more expensive technology. Corbevax's clinical trial results are expected to be published soon, so it's unclear exactly how effective it is. But if the vaccine candidate pans out, as Hotez and others expect, it could be the cheapest, at $1.50 per dose, and easiest to produce. India is already making the vaccine at risk. "Why the hell can't the Biden administration scale up and make our vaccine?" Hotez said, noting he hasn't heard much interest from federal officials. "We're getting Zoom calls a couple times a week from countries desperate for vaccine, and we're transferring the technology of our vaccine to those countries." The bottom line: "I don't think we should move the goalpost, which is preventing serious disease and death," said Dial Hewlett, a vaccine task force expert with the National Medical Association. "The primary goal for us should be to get as many people fully vaccinated as possible."
Lets take a look at how many times you misrepresented the vaccines both implicitly and explicitly... Oh we can't because when we search on you and vaccine nazi its 100s of pages of lies. Including your douchebag lies implicitly or explicitly stating only the unvaccinated can spread
Enjoy your fantasies. Every rational person here knows it is you who has been posted unhinged non-scientific nonsense for over a year that been fully debunked. At this point the most at-risk are the unvaccinated. The average age of the unvaccinated in hospitals is much lower than the vaccinated. In fact the few vaccinated in the hospital tend to be elderly. Likewise many of the unvaccinated in the hospital have few comorbidities -- many have none and were completely health prior to catching Covid. Of course, this leads to story-after-story of the unvaccinated in ICUs begging if it is too late to get the vaccine. The nonsense you have been preaching for over a year is not only undermining public health but dangerous to society.
what nonsense have I been preaching...? pretty much everything I have preached is... backed by data. you are the one caught lying... on almost a daily basis. just last week you caught lying about natural immunity.
Let's spell out what this most likely means -- China sent Brazil 12 Million fake vaccine doses that probably contained saline. And government officials probably profited off of this fraud. Brazil Halts Use Of 12M Doses Of China's Sinovac Vaccine Made At Unauthorized Plant https://www.ibtimes.com/brazil-halt...novac-vaccine-made-unauthorized-plant-3288748 Brazil's health regulators were informed that the batches were made at a plant that had not been inspected Nine million more doses produced at the plant are headed for Brazil Anvisa said it will evaluate the "possible impact" on those who have already been vaccinated using the affected batch Brazil this weekend implemented a "precautionary ban" on the use of over 12 million doses of China's Sinovac vaccine, which has so far made up the bulk of the vaccines administered in the South American country. Brazil's federal health regulator, Anvisa, was informed that 25 batches, or about 12.1 million doses of Sinovac's CoronaVac vaccine were made at an unauthorized plant, Reuters reported. Further, Butantan Institute, a biomedical center that has partnered with Sinovac to locally finish the vaccines, informed the agency that 17 more batches, or nine million more doses, on the way to Brazil were also produced in the same plant. The plant had not been inspected or approved by Anvisa, it said in a statement Saturday. It implemented a "precautionary ban" to prohibit the distribution of the lots that were filled in the unapproved plant. Anvisa said it will evaluate the conditions at the unapproved plant and determine the "possible impact" on those who have already been vaccinated using the affected batch. "(I)t is essential to act by the Agency in order to mitigate a possible health risk," the agency said in the statement. Anvisa and Butantan Institute held another meeting during which the institute informed the agency that it identified at the end of August 2021 that the lots came from another plant, the agency said in an update Sunday. "This new site was performing the stages of formulation and vase of the vaccine," Anvisa noted. "However, this new manufacturing site has not been evaluated and approved by Anvisa." "Precautionary measures are not punitive sentencing decisions, but sanitary measures to avoid exposure to the consumption and use of irregular or suspected products," Anvisa said. So far, the "vast majority" of Brazil's administered vaccines have been from Sinovac, Reuters noted. Some cities have already begun providing booster shots of the COVID-19 vaccine despite many people not yet having their second dose, the Associated Press (AP) reported. This is due to the concerns over the more contagious delta variant that has so far become the dominant variant in Rio de Janeiro, as well as questions about the efficacy of the Chinese-made vaccines. To date, Brazil has logged over 20,800,000 COVID-19 cases and more than 580,000 deaths.
