Experts from the FDA have convened to discuss whether the U.S. is ready to start treating COVID boosters like an annual flu vaccine, a move that would normalize COVID shots as permanent public health upkeep.

A nurse prepares a syringe of a COVID-19 vaccine at an inoculation station in Jackson, Miss., July 19, 2022.A panel of public health experts for the Food and Drug Administration convened for an all-day meeting on Thursday to discuss whether the U.S. is ready to start treating COVID boosters like an annual flu vaccine, a move that would normalize COVID shots as permanent public health upkeep.

Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccine chief, said the virus has evolved so rapidly that the FDA has constantly needed to revise its approach. Now, he said, it was time to determine if they could do that on a schedule rather than at the whim of the virus' evolutions. The way it stands now, people get different numbers of vaccines depending on their age and prior vaccination status. For example, unvaccinated people get their initial series in two shots, a few weeks apart, while vaccinated people have been encouraged to get a booster every few months, depending on how old they are.

But older, high-risk and immunocompromised Americans could still be recommended to get two shots a year, as could young children when they reach the age eligible for vaccinations. "I certainly support this approach. Simpler is better," said Dr. Mark Sawyer, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego and a member of the FDA's panel.More data is necessary to decide exactly who will be protected enough by one dose, experts said.

Who could have predicted this? Oh wait, all the so called conspiracy theorists.

Died suddenly

Hell no!

clotshot

Project veritas blew this out of the water. No thank you. Never had one never going to get one. It went from questionable to downright Terrifying. I know it's not a popular opinion but it's definitely what I see around me.

No

Not going to happen. Just like the flu shot I’ll never get a Covid shot either

This is sick. Those vaccines are harmful

I’ll take whatever I need to to stay alive. Vax me baby!!

Of course, that shit is not a vaccine, is a faild experiment. And a bug big business.

It’s all about the Benjamins

NO, THEY ARE USELESS ON COVID AND POISONOUS!!

I'll pass...

The “experts” have proven one thing, they are liars.

No no no! Need to know the side effects first. A lot of people had very bad side effects

= Covidian cult propaganda.

Just stop!! Give it up already!!!

Over use…like antibiotics creating super viruses? ….

Any word on that undercover PfizerExposed footage yet guys No? Ya didn’t think so…

...

Be interesting to see how many politicians own stock in pharmaceutical companies. Create a disease then mandate vaccines forcing taxpayers to fund your investments. Sinister but, well, they’re politicians.

Got banned off platforms if you said covid is like the flu months ago. Now these experts accept it

It should be. Too many anti-science and misinformation spreaders have allowed COVID to become part of society! It will take years, if ever, to get COVID under control.

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

And all of these people are paid off by Pfizer.

Any thoughts on the undercover Pfizer video that’s been viewed over 30 million times in like a day?

Never took flu shoot. No flu. Passed on Covid. No Covid. I Have a nice immunity working :)

People are dropping like flies because of the vaccines. Makes perfect sense.

You’ve lost two of your own the “died suddenly”, now Project Veritas did your job for you. Does anyone at ABC News have any balls at all…to actually report. Wonder what Dr. Jennifer Ashton will have to say this morning. Her license needs to be ripped away. Disgusting.

When you want a huge population reduction this is what you do

Of course, annual bonuses

See Project_Veritas

I am done taking Pfizer vaccines.

As most countries stop boosters for people under 50, the FDA still continues to push boosters in an effort to keep their pharma masters happy

ok so make it like the flu shot and ppl can choose to get one or not.

No thank you!

Do your job ABC. “Permanent public health upkeep”? It’s time to cut off the Pfizer cash and face facts.

No.

No one is taking those toxic deadly jabs anymore.

The annual flu vaccine is also problematic. Don't kid yourself...

No. Flock that.

Pass

Um…..Nope!!

I'm literally in awe that this is being considered from a drug that isn't even out of experimental phase. Where is the benefit to risk ratio? Seems to be quite a few problems health wise from this drug.

They are not normal.

Derrrrrrr experts derrrrr
