US to distribute Covid-19 booster shots next months: Officials


Washington, Aug 19 (IANS): The US will begin administrating Covid-19 booster shots next month as new data shows that vaccine protection wanes over time, top US health officials announced on Wednesday.

"We are prepared to offer booster shots for all Americans beginning the week of September 20 and starting 8 months after an individual's second dose," the officials said in a joint statement.

The statement was signed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci and other US health leaders, the Xinhua news agency reported.

The policy will apply to people who have received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, and is contingent on authorization from the FDA and a review by CDC's vaccine advisory committee.

"Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death could diminish in the months ahead, especially among those who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the earlier phases of the vaccination rollout," said the officials.

The decision to recommend booster shots came as the US is undergoing a surge of Covid-19 cases driven by the Delta variant. There was also a rise in breakthrough cases - infections in fully vaccinated individuals.

According to the CDC, 72.2 per cent of American adults have received one dose of Covid-19 vaccine, with 61.8 per cent being fully vaccinated.

    Planning one more strain through booster? Also in the west these elites, communists are planning to implant chips in the humans ? in the pretext of these viruses and vaccines ? Recent Divine message on same to John Leary dated Monday, August 9, 2021: (Message mainly to american but also for rest of the faithful and believers) Jesus said: “My people, you are in the midst of a heavy oppression when working people are being forced by their employers to take the poisonous Covid shots. Many people are getting sick from these shots. Your people need to stock up on three months of food because this oppression for jobs will be getting worse. You will need this food when you can no longer work because of the forced mandates of Covid shots and eventually the mark of the beast. These same authorities will next try to force you take booster shots for all the variants that will be spread. Once they can force you to take shots to keep your jobs, then next they will try to force you to take the mark of the beast, or a computer chip in your body. I have told you before that you will have to QUIT your jobs with these mandates because you should NEVER take the mark of the beast, even if they threaten to kill you. I have given you the Good Friday oil and the exorcism water with the miraculous medal to heal the vaccinated people, but there is no healing for the mark of the beast. I am telling you now, when they try to force the mark of the beast on everyone, then I will be calling My faithful to My refuges of protection. I will bring My Warning when your oppression is unbearable. This bright clearing in the sky in the vision is when you will be coming to My refuges soon. At My refuges My angels will fight the demons and your oppressors. You will have freedom once again at My refuges, because soon I will be casting all of these evil ones into hell for their evil deeds. My angels are marking an invisible cross on the foreheads of My believers, because you will need this to enter My refuges. Trust in Me to defend My people, and provide for your needs.”..... Jesus said: “My son, you were joining a protest against the hospital because they were forcing the nurses to get Covid shots, or they would lose their jobs. This is the same threat to force these poisonous shots on workers by employers all over your country. I commend your people for protesting an unjust demand that the Covid shots would be forced on the nurses, or else they would lose their jobs. If your people do not stand up and fight this edict, then the politicians will take away more of your freedoms. Most people are not dying or getting very sick from the Covid virus. A good number of people have already had the Covid virus, so they have antibodies of protection. This means you do not have to take the poisonous Covid shot for protection that you do not need. This is an attempt by the one world people to kill a lot of people with the vaccines, and reduce the population. This is a vaccine and virus designed by Satan and made by your corrupt scientists and Pharma corporations. The Pharmaceutical corporations are making blood money on those people who die from these shots, and they are not being held responsible for any complications. The media is not reporting all of the deaths and bad reactions that are coming from these poisonous shots. Trust in Me to protect My people, and you can use the Good Friday oil and exorcism water to heal the vaccinated people.” Ref: http://www.johnleary.com/index.php/?cat=3&order=DESC
