WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Top U.S. infectious disease official Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that Americans who are immune compromised may end up needing COVID-19 vaccine booster shots.

"Those who are transplant patients, cancer chemotherapy, auto-immune diseases, that are on immunosuppressant regimens, those are the kind of individuals that if there's going to be a third booster, which might likely happen, would be among first the vulnerable," Fauci said during a CNN interview.

Citing recent studies that show there might be waning immunity in vaccinated people, Fauci said U.S. health officials are reviewing data to determine when boosters might be needed.

“It’s a dynamic situation. It’s a work in progress, it evolves like in so many other areas of the pandemic,” said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “You’ve got to look at the data.”

Pls remember, CDC funded and contribute the spike protein which is causing this pandemic.
Yeah, CDC stopped counting positive Covid cases among the vaccinated. For obvious reasons. They account for 50% of current infections. Covid fear keeps markets balanced - too much hope sends stocks to an epic bubble burst, a financial catastrophe. Fear kicks in to correct too much optimism or speculation in the markets. Great market for shorts. Huge correction in the next months, long due. Will come with the new lockdowns fears from Oct-March, and the rising case numbers and deaths in that period, they are going to attribute to the unvaccinated or to the new upcoming Indonesian Variant. Or a scenerio of increased cases and worldwide protests/riots is also likely. Gates already said this ain't going away untill 2022, if ever.
Oh and check c19early.com - 750 clinical, medical studies with 22 highly effective Covid medication, having treated 500.000 patients. If this was about treating people, this information would not be as censored as it is, and you would not have a covid death count, but mostly a hope count of EVERY single treatment being developed along with everyone involved, medical teams, institutions, independent scientists etc.. Why you don't have such a thing? Beacuse treating people and saving lives is NOT the priority. Censorship and persecution of truth was never this severe except in 3rd world countries. THIS is the real virus.
Israeli study shows 39% effectiveness Well Vitamin C and D with my grandmother's chicken soup, probably will beat that.You fool me once, but you will not fool me twice. I got 2 shots because I believed in it. Keep the third one for the fools.
better a live fool than a dead nonbeliever.
hahahaha thats absolutely true!
There are more deaths reported (12,000) since January in the VAERS database, than the prior 30 years. By the way, only 1-10% of adverse effects are reported into VAERS. https://swprs.org/the-latest-on-covid-vaccine-adverse-events/
Why is the experimental warp speed jab not FDA approved and why are the pharma companies not liable?
Last week you called for the FDA to be abolished, this week youre using its authority to build your misinformed strawman.
tell your wife’s boyfriend hello
im afraid thats your fantasy, no need to project it onto others.
Fauci the Lier. After Delta, they have Gama variant ready in pipeline..
Gamma variant is the Brazilian one (Alpha is UK, Beta is South Africa, Delta is India, Gamma is Brazil, Lambda is Peru). But the one i'm concerned about is the one coming out of Indonesia. Countless experts are warning it's now officially a breeding ground for new variants of concern.
I do not listen to the fake media... I do listen to Fauci...
Ok China bots now reject Fauci.
They bought to many vaccine, and now they have to use before it expires.I already got two. No more. Thank You.Why don't you convince the people without a vaccine?
How can people still fall for Fauci? He owns shares in all the vaccine companies
he is smart unlike trump followers
Nobody believes that fool
Its never going to end, and the entire world has bought in. This is something we need to acknowledge and accept as a threat or it will own us forever. The fear of Covid will be our demise, not Covid itself. Vaccines arent saving us, and for 99% of people you will be sick for a couple weeks. Accept it and get back to having a life worth living.
Go and check if you are part of the 1%
im willing to take my chances. I wish the rest of the world wasnt scared of their own shawdow.
Thought Fauci said it is unethical for americans to have the 3rd shot before entire world population are vaccinated.
The Pfizer / Biontech vaccines are about to expire in US warehouses anyway, so give a third dose so they don't go to waste. It is too late to hand them over to other countries.
Haha good one.
My GF has a rare auto immune disease which causes skin cancer, her second shot (pfizer/moderna) flared up her her skin cancer spots a lot even after her DR. recommended getting the shots. Something to consider.
If possible just set up auto deduct so your shots are seamless when gov goes broke
