The advisory committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says booster jabs should be given to the over-65s and the clinically vulnerable but has voted 16-2 against recommending additional doses for everyone else aged 16 and over. MailOnline has the story.
Members said said [sic] there was not enough evidence that a third dose was safe and effective for use in people under age 65.
The FDA is not bound to follow the advisory group’s recommendations but the agency rarely goes against the guidance of VRBPAC.
The next step before the FDA can issue authorisation is a recommendation for approved by the advisory committee for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Pfizer had previously submitted data that the company claimed show its vaccine’s efficacy falls by about six percent every two months following the second and final dose.
But many scientists, including senior officials at the FDA, disagree and argue that the vaccines are still highly effective at preventing severe illness and death.
Last month, boosters were approved for immunocompromised Americans who had received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine after data showed they were less likely to develop high antibody levels after two doses.
At least 2.04 million people in the U.S. have received booster doses as of Friday, according to data from the CDC.
The White House also announced last month booster shots would become available for all Americans starting on September 20th due to data suggesting waning efficacy of the initial shots. …
Dr. Phil Krause, Deputy Director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, said that Pfizer’s data [suggesting that people who received booster doses had high levels of protection] had yet to be independently reviewed by experts.
“One of the issues in this is that much of the data that’s been presented and being discussed today is not peer-reviewed and has not been reviewed by FDA,” he said.
FDA and CDC officials have previously expressed to [sic] their doubts to the White House about the need for extra doses.

Finally some sense! Will Biden ignore it like Johnson did the JCVI
I expect he will ‘follow the science’.
A must watch from the FDA meeting today. We were right all along. People on Gab have been talking about this stuff for MONTHS:

Wow!
This might be a game-changer.
Then again, in UK the JCVI recommended against jabbing kids…….but Johnson, Javid and Zahawai went against it and told Whitty to over-rule them.
Johnson, Javid and Zahawi have no medical qualifications.
Whitty has no kids…….or conscience.

One of the most over used statements on this site since May last year; ”The tide is turning…”
Well maybe, possible, this time, the tide might just be ……
The most used is “worth reading in full”
Wow. Go to 4:13:00
Massive admissions FDA that the vaccines do nothing against transmission and have killed more than any other vaccines combined.

Thanks for this. The physician speaking afterwards ” the vaccine hesitant, irrespective of education and background, are more aware of the vaccine studies and their own Covid risk, than the vaccinated”
A few bombs have gone off overnight
I’ve watched from about 4:09 (Dr Jessica Rose) to the 5 hr mark.
Apart from one bloke talking about people living with HIV, the rest are all brilliant.
Well worth a listen.
Well that means we can expect booster vaccines to be given to the under 65s as soon as is plausibly possible then!
The impact of the FDA meeting is heavier than the Mail report is revealing i.e. 2 dead from vaccines for every 1 life saved:https://theexpose.uk/2021/09/18/fda-experts-reveal-the-covid-19-vaccines-are-killing-2-people-for-every-1-life-saved/
