The Biden regime is planning to encourage all Americans to receive updated COVID-19 booster shots this fall, aiming to counter a potential new wave of infections, a White House official said on Sunday, quoted by Reuters.
According to FOX News, “The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the White House’s Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy are expected to lead the rollout, which is expected to begin in earnest during the second half of September.”
“Aside from COVID vaccinations, the administration is also encouraging Americans to get an annual influenza vaccination in addition to a shot for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — both of which are common respiratory illnesses that can cause more severe complications in some cases,” the outlet added.

This announcement comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report an uptick in infections and hospital admissions, even though overall levels are low.
Another fear porn from the so-called health experts and media just in time for the next election. The same old playbook.

The argument being put forth by the administration and public health officials is that these boosters, particularly those targeted at new “Eris” and “Fornax” subvariants, would enhance immunity and reduce the spread of the virus.
Pharmaceutical companies like Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, and German partner BioNTech SE have already created versions of their shots aimed at the XBB.1.5 subvariant, pending approval.
The so-called “high flying” variants EG.5 (Eris), XBB.1.5, and XBB.1.6 have been elevated to the status of “variants of interest” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
“While EG.5 has shown increased prevalence, growth advantage, and immune escape properties, there have been no reported changes in disease severity to date. The public health risk posed by EG.5 is evaluated as low at the global level,” the WHO said.
According to health authorities per South China Morning Post, variant Eris account for over 70 percent of infections in China, but its public health risk remains low.
“The proportion of the EG.5 variant among circulating strains of the coronavirus grew from 0.6 per cent in April to 71.6 per cent in August. It has become the dominant strain in most provinces in China and is likely to continue this trend,” the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on its WeChat account on Saturday.
“The overall Covid-19 situation in China has remained at a low level, with a wavelike pattern. Little pressure has been posed to the health system across the country, and there is no indication of a large-scale outbreak in the short term.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that according to a high-level TSA official who reached out to Infowars, a meeting held on Tuesday revealed new memorandums and policies set to reimplement mask-wearing mandates for TSA and airport employees, beginning in mid-September.
Furthermore, the official disclosed that by mid-October, mask-wearing will be mandated for pilots, flight staff, passengers, and all airport patrons.
The official also stated that further details on how the policy will escalate will be provided this week, indicating that this might be just the beginning of a series of stricter measures.
The TSA’s information was corroborated by a trusted Border Patrol source in a managerial position. This source confirmed that similar measures were being planned for Border Patrol personnel.
According to Infowars, “They were told it was not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ official Covid numbers will go back up, and they expect by mid-October a return to forced-masking policies that the Biden administration previously only reluctantly ended after massive pressure.”
The revelation of these planned measures comes in tandem with the recent news regarding new COVID-19 "variants" pushed by the far-left media.
Natalie Winters, Co-Host & Executive Editor of Steve Bannon’s War Room, also reported on Monday that the federal government has already started buying COVID-19 equipment and hiring consultants to enforce pandemic-era "safety protocols."
Some of these contracts are even scheduled to begin next month, including September and October, hinting at a long-term strategy.
For instance, the DOD has awarded Hologic Sales and Service LLC a significant $1.5 million contract scheduled to begin on October 1st and with a potential end date in May 2024.
According to the federal spending database, these funds are explicitly designated for “Hologic COVID testing services in support of the Department of Pathology at Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, WA 98431. (New Delivery Order).”
Moreover, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not far behind in its efforts to prepare for the ‘upcoming’ COVID-19, inking a total of $5 million contract.

Honest question. There is definitely an increase of covd infections in my area. What is wrong with the government suggesting people get vaccines? We literally do that every single year for Flu season etc.

Other than people hating the Covid vaccines for some weird reason, why do we feel that this some weird off the wall governmental action?

If you believe that the vaccine will limit the effect of getting the new COVID variants-nothing wrong. If you think it will prevent the transmission of COVID-incorrect science. I do think people have some justifiable concerns since this administration has required vaccines for military personnel and tried to force required vaccines on any businesses which got government contracts (struck down by Supreme Court). To not acknowledge the past actions of this executive branch seems to me to be naive.

I would argue that the government requiring vaccines for military isn't new and has always been the case.

I think that the new boosters are more targeted towards current strains and are probably more effective. At this point, I don't feel like the severity is such that it should be required,but as with all vaccines, if you are at a danger, you should probably discuss with your doctor and follow their advice.

Everything with Covid has been so politicized that common sense and expertise has been either completely ignored, or flat argued against.

Tell me more about the findings from your high dollar garage laboratory
 
I don't think you Trumpians should even consider the Booster. It's not for you. I don't want you to get sick, but if you do, that's on you. Here's an article from the JAMA network on COVID Deaths vs Political affiliation:

---------------------------------------------------------
Findings:
In this cohort study evaluating 538 159 deaths in individuals aged 25 years and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December 2021, excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before. These differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.

Meaning The differences in excess mortality by political party affiliation after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been a factor in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the US.

------------------------------------------------

Oddly enough, the people that didn't get the vaccine, somehow seemed to die more. I'm unclear how Biden and company pushing for folks to get a booster that improves their chances of staying healthy, but this seems about right for TGP.

So by all means, have at it. It's kind of interesting to me, that a number of conservative media folks (particularly radio hosts) died of COVID after coming out against the vaccine. Some of these guys broadcast from the hospital before dying that they were wrong. No effect on their listeners though.

Personally, I got the vaccine as soon as it was available, ditto with the boosters. Obviously, I haven't dropped dead. Except for a slightly sore arm after the shots, no side effects for me. I'll be getting the next round of boosters when they come out and the Flu shot in October as usual. I've never had COVID to my knowledge (to be fair, I've had several minor colds over the last 3 years and didn't get tested, so take that for what it's worth). I've not had the Flu in more than 10 years.

It's also interesting to me that the booster is not mandatory... hell even the virtual rage TGP says so. But OP is still bitching. Even though it's a Trump vaccine, OP is still bitching. I'm confused on the bitching about military having to take the vaccine. They have to take whatever shots they are ordered to... it's ALWAYS been that way. This is no different.

I've got some neighbors (used to be neighbors back in SC). They were fairly unhealthy at risk folks. They refused to wear masks and refused to get the vaccine when it came out. The mother got COVID and died. The Dad got COVID and was on a vent for a month. One of their sons (adult) got COVID and was in the hospital for a while but didn't need a vent and their daugher (adult) got COVID and died. Both remaining sons (both adult) still refuse to get the vaccine. Go figure. Last time I was home, one of them asked me if I was vaccinated and I said of course. He asked if I was going to try and talk him into it. I said nope... those were his choices to make. Same here.
 
It’s no big deal unless they try mandates of some sort. I don’t think anyone will put up with that again though.

And I really wish they would focus more energy on overall health. The #1 way for you to avoid complications from Covid is to maintain a healthy weight, have good nutrition, exercise, get some fresh air, get good sleep, etc etc. Those should be heavily promoted as the response to Covid (and most other health issues).

I mean, if you're 50 pounds overweight, maybe try losing 50 pounds instead of focusing on masks and vaccines for other people.

I totally agree with this. However, if you go back and take a look at programs that try and focus on healthy eating and activity, you'll find that Republicans oppose these programs across the board because they are expensive. Remember Reagan when he was being pushed to add more veggies to public school lunches... his quote (before opposing it): Isn't Ketchup a veggie?

The problem is that losing 50 pounds is HARD and takes a while. A shot is fast and relatively cheap.

Correction … the Biden Admin DID force companies who had government contracts, under threat of revocation, to have their employees vaccinated.

I know this, because I’m a Raytheon employee. If it was struck down by the SCOTUS, that was done so much later. I had several colleagues who were separated from the company because they refused the jab.

I got the Moderna vax and boosted. I did that before the mandate came down from Brandon and did so voluntarily. Since my booster, I have developed heart palpitations which weren’t there before. Coincidence???? Maybe …. but I nor my wife or children will be getting any future Covid shots.

Requiring COVID vaccines is not the same as MMR, Small Pox, Polio, etc. The fact that you do not see the differences is why you and others will not agree on this subject. The non-COVID listed vaccines are real vaccines that have been adequately tested and legal liability was NOT removed from the pharmaceutical company.

And there it is ... The fact that you think this is due to your political views.

It's wild to me that mrna-related heart palpitations only seem to happen to conservatives. Seems like all of them either had them themselves or know a slew of other people that did as well. And I've never had a liberal friend or relative describe a heart issue related to the vaccine...weird that your political party affects the way your body reacts to the "deadly jab" 🤔 😅

Beyond that, it's extremely rare to experience heart palpitations and it usually only happens to young men, it resolves quickly and it's easily treatable. Recent studies now show that it was related to getting the booster too soon after the initial dose so they now recommend eight weeks between shots.

Oh and other studies show you are 100 times more likely to get myocarditis from COVID itself, than from the vaccine, so it still makes sense to get it....but carry on with your vaccine related disease.......................... LOL

Oh snarkiness ... thats fun

You want another booster? Go ahead ... knock yourself out.
 
??? What in the world are you talking about. My comments have zero to do with any political views of anyone.

You claimed that the Covid vaccine isn't a real vaccine. It was tested, and went through the same protocols,just fast tracked, which was the best thing Donald Trump did as president.

The Covid vaccines performed exactly as predicted by the companies. It was extremely effective against the original strains that it was developed for. No vaccines are 100% effective.

Many doctors would disagree with your comments about going through the same protocols (one being my spouse’s oncologist), many would tell you that the boosters are not effective against the newer variants as they have changed much. Good luck with your getting the new boosters and I wish you the best.

I literally said that the original vaccines and boosters aren't as effective against the current strains.

I love the vague "many" statement. How about the fact that the vast majority disagree with your "many"?

Did it indeed, “prevent the spread”?

Asking for my fellow man.

It did against the strains it was intended for. It was less effective against later strains.

That isn't debatable, not sure why you folks keep trying to make an issue about this. It's a little bit intellectually dishonest to try to say that the Covid vaccines weren't effective since they didn't protect against every strin for ever.

You know, I was thinking about this earlier today. Just because Covid is not as dangerous now due to better understanding of how it works, less virulent strains, better medicines doesn't mean that it wasn't very dangerous initially. A similar parallel could be made with HIV/AIDS. Currently HIV is not an immediate death sentence due to drugs such as PREP. That doesn't mean that it shouldn't have been taken seriously in the 1980's. Millions of people died worldwide. That's a big freaking deal.

Can you admit, much of what was said in regards to the vaccine’s capabilities was false?

Did the vaccines limit transmission? I say no, are you saying yes?

Dude, it mutated and became highly contagious and then evaded the vaccine's defenses. We'll never know if that mutation could have been kept to a minimum because so many people refused to get vaccinated and kept spreading it. Know anyone like that?

A vaccination campaign is a group exercise that requires the cooperation of everyone to be highly successful.
 
I really wonder how we got to this point where people are raging against vaccines, covid and otherwise. Mandatory vaccinations for schools, military, and various jobs have been a thing for decades.

In America’s past, we’ve seen people line up to take vaccines as quickly as they could and as a result of long term, mass vaccinations we’ve been able to eliminate diseases that used to kill with regularity.

You don’t want to be forced to take a vaccine? Ok, fine. I didn’t agree with the administration’s stance on compulsory vaccinations for private companies either. But this weird obsession people have now with asserting that vaccines aren’t effective or that they’re dangerous despite documented proof otherwise is just absolutely mind blowing to me.

These are the post-truth politics that have taken our country hostage.
