Pfizer said that its updated COVID-19 booster may offer some protection against newly emerging omicron mutants even though it's not an exact match.

FILE - Ryan Dutton, an EMT from Rescue Inc., prepares shots of the Pfizer COVID-19 booster vaccine during a vaccine clinic held by Rescue Inc. at Leland & Gray Middle and High School, in Townshend, Vt., on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022. The updated COVID-19 boosters aren't an exact match to the newest omicron mutants but Pfizer says lab tests suggest its shot may offer some cross-protection.

Pfizer said Friday that its updated COVID-19 booster may offer some protection against newly emerging omicron mutants even though it’s not an exact match. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech said their updated booster generated virus-fighting antibodies that can target four additional omicron subtypes, including the particularly worrisome BQ.1.1.

May offer... What a definitive statement.

I guess medical mistakes in the mean time justify expertise in the end, makes me wish I could time travel!

Does anybody believe anything that Pfliezer says?

MAY 🤣

Lol. Company selling something says it may still be worth buying. Got it.

*sigh* Anybody who actually believes this after all of the false promises & outright lies about these vaccines and all of the deaths and serious side effects that have resulted from the vaccines deserves whatever happens if they get yet another booster. Darwinism at work...

May May May maybe May Unbelievable. Fear mongering continues.

“May” offer “some” protection 😂

🙌

'May offer some' L-oh-fucking-L

I first read this as, “Pfizer said that its updated COVID-19 booster may offer some protection against newly emerging unicorn mutants” which I found concerning.
