American expert claims – booster shot is necessary to defeat corona virus [TKB Health]

Amidst the changing situation, booster shots of the corona vaccine will soon become necessary for people to achieve maximum protection against the Covid-19 epidemic, has claimed America’s top infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci. He said on Sunday, after a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel rejected widespread use of the third dose in people aged 16 and older, Pfizer said in a 52-page presentation to the United States FDA. which included data from a recent Israeli study. It was shown here that a booster dose of the post-injection COVID vaccine can prevent both infection and severe disease in adults over the age of 60.

It was also supported by the administration of US President Joe Biden. However, the panel has approved a booster shot of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine for people 65 and older.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told , “I believe it turns out that proper diet, at least for an mRNA vaccine like Pfizer, is two basic doses. Prime A booster is given every three to four weeks, and a third shot is given several months later.”

Anthony Fauci said, “I support giving boosters based on immunity reduction, as we see very clearly in the US figures and even more dramatic data from our Israeli allies.”

“There is some sign of a decline in England, which is why people 50 years and older, as well as healthcare providers and those who are immune, will soon be vaccinated,” he said.

The Pfizer study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that after about 12 days of a booster dose, the rate of infection was 11-fold lower and the rate of serious illness was nearly 20-fold lower than in those who took a booster than the dose.

Similarly, Moderna has also claimed that protection against Covid-19 from its mRNA vaccine can only last for six months, which is a strong case for booster shots. While many countries like Israel, UAE, Russia, France, Germany and Italy have already gone ahead with booster doses. At the same time, many scientists including the World Health Organization (WHO) have called against the third Covid shot.
