Statement essentially shooting down that assessment, a message echoed by the White House today. The Cdc And Fda Have Put Out A Pretty Clear Statement Last Night after the announcement by pfizer, making clear that people who have been fully vaccinated do not need a Booster Shot at this time. Notice shes saying at this time. A statement from the Fda And Cdc went a step further taking a gentle swipe at pfizer for, well, heres what they said.

Dr. Fauci told cnn about a Phone Call he received from the head of pfizer. The ceo, whos a really good guy, got on the phone with me Last Night and apologized that they came out with that recommendation, so there is no, not that apologized about the recommendation, apologized for not letting us know that he was going to do it ahead of time. An apology for the surprise
The vaccine past the six-month period. that s exactly what s happening, ending with an apology, sort of, with the company that started it, dr. fauci tried to put a pin in it saying listen to us, not the vaccine makers. the damage has already been done. this all began with a statement from pfizer and biontech. and i m quoting, vaccine efficacy in preventing infection and symptomatic disease has declined six months. pfizer and biontech believe a third dose may be beneficial to maintain highest levels of protection. they didn t offer any data. only a caveat and an important one that efficacy against severe illness and hospitalization remains high. hours after pfizer s statement, the cdc and fda came out with a
