“Public health officials are sticking with the recommendation that people get booster shots eight months after getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but that could change based on reviewing the data, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday.”

Fauci told told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz. “‘…as we’ve said, even in the original statement that came out, we’re gonna have to go through the standard way of the (Food and Drug Administration) looking at the data and then the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. So although we’re sticking with eight, we’re remaining flexible, that if the data tells us differently, we’ll make adjustments accordingly. But for now, we’re sticking with the eight.'”

“The new daily COVID-19 case average in the U.S. has risen to 142,000, and is 130,000 daily cases higher than the average was about two months ago, as of Thursday. The U.S. has also continued to experience its steepest rise in COVID-19 related hospitalizations since the winter of 2020, with more than 101,000 patients hospitalized across the country with COVID-19. This marked the highest number of patients hospitalized with the virus in seven months. Pediatric hospital admissions for children under 18 with COVID-19 were also up by 514% since July Fourth, as of Friday.”

The response to Covid19 is hampered by a Russia/GOP propaganda effort to counter every single message from the Biden White House, even when that counter-messaging results in individuals engaging in risky behavior with potential long-term health consequences. Recent initiatives have included claims by Rand Paul that it’s better for people to just get Covid and have natural immunity, and a wing-nut MAGA psychologist from California who is promoting ivermectin as a cure for Covid.
