The new Moderna data comes from the company’s roughly 30,000-participant clinical trial used to support the vaccine’s emergency authorisation.

Moderna says its COVID-19 vaccine is about 93 per cent effective through to six months after the second dose, showing hardly any change from the 94 per cent efficacy reported in its original clinical trial.

It compares favourably to data from Pfizer and BioNTech last week that showed their vaccine’s efficacy waned about 6 per cent every two months, declining to around 84 per cent six months after the second shot. Public health officials around the world are debating whether additional vaccine booster doses will be necessary as they grapple with the fast-spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus that has become dominant in many countries, leading to a surge in cases and hospitalisations, especially among the unvaccinated.

Dr. Fauci - 'I want a pill that blocks the viral function, Give it once a day if​ ​possible. Want it to be low in toxicity and I want it to have very minimal drug drug interaction and given for 7 - 10 days. Give me that and I will be very happy! ' Sounds like Ivermectin 😉

Can’t even get the population to take the first jab…..booster? Good luck with that.
