Elderly people will likely need booster shots for COVID vaccines, the nation’s top infectious disease expert said Sunday. The level of protection vaccines provide against the virus goes down over time, Dr. Anthony Fauci explained, citing the Pfizer drug as an example. The Pfizer vaccine starts out about 90% effective against COVID, he said, going down to about 84% several months afterwards. Effectiveness of the Moderna vaccine has not yet been shown to decrease, he added, but Fauci expects that to happen eventually. “Sooner or later, you’re going to see an attenuation to the point where we’re going to have to give an additional boost to people,

Like the Flu shots, the Wohan virus shots will be required every year forever.

Did anyone paying attention not see this coming?
It's interesting that Fauci always says Pfizer is the best and J&J is the worst.
Wait for it - don't be surprised that before long the word will be that seniors who have had the COVID-19 will need booster shots, probably every year.

Hey, Hey, Hey! Step right up ladies and gentlemen! The government has a special present for you for your 65th birthday.
You get a free portal inserted into your shoulder.
Whenever the government decrees, you will get a free dose of whatever chemicals they want to put into you.
(What could go wrong?)

I had the Pfizer 2 shots and 4 months later had a monogram done. All of a sudden at almost 70 I have “suspicious cells” and have to have a biopsy.
Then I had a colonoscopy, a few weeks later, and had a polyp removed. Again, this was my 3rd in 30 years and never had anything.
All of a sudden I am having these weird things happen. Anybody else?

Watch the video at the top of the article, about pediatric vaccines. My kids are long since grown, but if I had a child now, no way would I get shots for them. Heart problems? No thanks for a child.

Dear Dr. Fauci: As an octogenarian, may we assume you will be the first person in line, and then wait a few weeks for the rest of us to see how that works out for you?

Sounds like socialism to me.
The first two didn't work (pull your mask up) but the third one will. Honest.

Hopefully Gov. Andrew "Nursing Home Murderer" Cuomo will be impeached out of office by then.
Get him away from the elderly as far as possible.
He needs to be held accountable for his malicious and reckless actions.

#7, I had the moderna vaccine, first shot, had what will eventually be called a systemic inflammatory response, with swollen lymph nodes in my chest and neck. And I could not take the second shot, per the VA, because of the reaction to the first shot.
I have had ultrasounds/doppler tests on my leg, where I developed a golf ball sized cyst, a biopsy of my sinus where I grew what the ENT specialist thought was a vascular tumor. (It was not.)
I even had to undergo a mammography, as an 82 year old dude. It was really uncomfortable. I also have peculiarly shaped, oversized red blood cells.
And I had a stress test and a heart cat scan. I learned that I have the heart of a teenager.
What else? Weak legs, so weak that I am using a walker.
So, were these problems the result of the Kung Flu vaccine, or old age? I don't know.

#13 - interesting you said about weak legs. I was a marathon runner and I've noticed during the last couple of rounds of golf my calfs seem really weak. I really hope there's no connection.

"The first round didn't do you in, so maybe the booster will work!" Fauci.

I got the Moderna jabs months ago. The 2nd put me down for a day with chills and fever and a medical friend said the reaction meant that the first vaccine “took” and was actually a good sign. I don’t know if that’s true but I am not getting any booster shot. There is something sinister about the left’s haranguing the people who don’t want the vaccination. It may simply be that it’s their relentless love of telling us what to do or they are promoting the virus fear in order to game the midterms with massive fake mail-in ballots.

At least Fauci has two letters in his name that describe our attitude toward him, the first and third!

The latest budget-busting porkulus project is far too lucrative to shelve, so can the federal government delay certain fiscal collapse by wiping out a large share of the elderly and the immunocompromised populations, and erasing the burdens they place on the vital Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security programs? Time will tell.
