Why, we have millions of unused doses. Either use them or send them overseas before they expire and get dumped.

Close theses schools it's out of hand

[laskey]

Will this affect the GOP's current strategy to deworm their goats?

I know I'll have to have a booster after my J and J shot 6 months ago, since I'm in my late 80s and have a compromised immune system. Maybe I'll just go to the grocery store and get a first Pfizer shot.

[toneyeye]

It is these idiotic predictions that fuel the debate. As scientists, say what is known and stop reading tea leaves.

FYI, British study compared US ("hurry up") 3 weeks between doses was only 39% effective against getting infected after 6 months; but British 8 weeks between vaccine doses gave protection of 88% at 6 months. Fortunately both methods are still 95+% at preventing hospitalization and death. Looks like vaxxed can infect unvaxxed also. And we will need a booster shot.

Great to know our scientific/medical experts are on top of things, in their efforts to get us all through this Covid-19/Delta crisis . Now all we need is for the American people to listen up and do the patriotic thing, and just do what is needed-that is truly what patriots do!

[davidohler]

A booster after less than a year?!? Experimental to say the least.

[cultureal]

lots of haters commenting below, avoid them.

[DragonAlchemist]

Black friday yeah more covid cases. Why hasnt the current administration made sure to handle that?

I would trade mean tweets for this failure any day of the week.

[YYY-GUY]

We need to boost the vaccinations, but to people that haven't gotten one yet.

[taniaburton]

My anxiety only surrounds getting chronic covid for the rest of my life.

[masewoods]

This man can barely see to read "his" thoughts. This sucks.

[mattnaslund]

Libs, like me, can’t think for ourselves. So I believe anything the media spoon feeds me. I’m not dupid 🤪

[svenfrontin-rollet]

I don’t see the point on sticking to third mRNA. We need other formulations like J&J mixed with Pfizer. When is best to administer
