NEW: Moderna announces that a booster dose of its bivalent COVID-19 vaccine performs better against two circulating versions of the omicron variant, compared with a booster shot of its original formula.

that were on average 15.1-fold higher, compared with the company's prototype vaccine, when measured in adults approximately nine and a half months after prior vaccination. The safety and tolerability profile of the bivalent booster remains similar to the original vaccine, with adverse events "generally lower than the second dose of the primary series," Moderna said.

Moderna's analysis, as described in the press release, has not been vetted through the normal scientific review process. Once the dominant viral strain, the BA.5 subvariant is now estimated to account for about 30% of all new COVID-19 cases in the United States, according to the CDC. Newer versions of the omicron variant, such as BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, are slowly overtaking as a proportion of estimated cases, at 20% and 24%, respectively. These subvariants are descendants of BA.5.

New and improved is one of the best marketing campaigns ever

“Works better” when it didn’t work in the first place is still not working. 0x0=0

So weird that when you take away the 'Moderna announces,' or 'Pfizer says' from articles like this, you are left with articles saying the exact opposite.

If it takes unlimited jabs to contain this, I'm all in. My parents made sure I was vaccinated for smallpox and polio and I lived to see the results. Hoping to live to see the same with Covid.

Seems you're very popular, judging from the comments.

How much mRNA is safe to inject in your body at increasingly shorter intervals?

The HOA has banned the vaccine for all of its residents. With no testing, or vaccine, there have been no cases of Covid within the confines of the HOA.

So is sky news australia the only ones showing Mark Butlers health announcement today for covid

No thanks.

Moderna is a heart breaker.

So they are announcing that this one might work 😂

Moderna is a fraud!!! If you really need or want the vaccine, go the traditional route and get the Novavax.

Are we still doing this shit? Even the most libbiest of liberals are tired of getting jabbed at this point.

Never EVER will I get another shit if anything!!! Big Pharma has 0 credibility anymore!!!

They tell you not to become an addict, but with these boosters coming out every day they pushing that narrative lol

How much is abc being paid for this advertisement this time?

Yeah they made a lot of claims about the last shot too, those turned out to be lies though.

Killing you softly with their MRNA Vaccines

Yellen to seek clarity from China on COVID, property -officialsU.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will seek clarity on China's plans to ease its COVID-19 restrictions and deal with problems in its property sector when she meets on Monday with China's central bank chief, Treasury officials said on Sunday. This is a psychological pandemic that is being conducted by the WEF through the science™/ scientists™/experts™/fact-checkers™. I'd have more faith walking down the streets of Wuhan, China licking doorknobs than I would listening to what Janet Yellen has to say. She's a WEF puppet and fraud. Oh, I’m sure China will provide clarity now that Yellen seeks it. 🙄
