Study finds Moderna's vaccine most effective against hospitalizations

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dealing the White House a stinging setback, a government advisory panel overwhelmingly rejected a plan Friday to give Pfizer COVID-19 booster shots across the board, and instead endorsed the extra vaccine dose only for those who are 65 or older or run a high risk of severe disease.

The twin votes represented a heavy blow to the Biden administration's sweeping effort, announced a month ago, to shore up nearly all Americans' protection amid the spread of the highly contagious delta variant.

The nonbinding recommendation — from an influential committee of outside experts who advise the Food and Drug Administration — is not the last word. The FDA will consider the group’s advice and make its own decision, probably within days. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is set to weigh in next week.

In a surprising turn, the advisory panel rejected, 16-2, boosters for almost everyone. Members cited a lack of safety data on extra doses and also raised doubts about the value of mass boosters, rather than ones targeted to specific groups.

Then, in an 18-0 vote, it endorsed extra shots for people 65 and older and those at risk of serious disease. Panel members also agreed that health workers and others who run a high risk of being exposed to the virus on the job should get boosters, too.

That would help salvage part of the White House's campaign but would still be a huge step back from the far-reaching proposal to offer third shots of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to Americans eight months after they get their second dose.

Dem admin and scum Biden are slick bastards arent they.
The advisory panel went the opposite of what they wanted. So they say now, they will go with what the FDA recommends to do (as they have control over it). Just look at the vote- it was 16 to 2. You see they wanted the advisory panel to agree and later during election time they could say- we just did what the expert panel said to do.. But the EXPERT panel by an overwhelming majority said no! Then the panel vote 18- 0 to limit the booster to people 65 and older and those at risk of serious disease....
These bastards want that damn shot rammed into everybody!
And it is not because they care so much for our welfare. It is an agenda...
One that they are ordered and paid to follow..,...--Tyr

The panel (1) did approve the booster for select groups, meaning (2) the booster will work.

The panel believes the better strategy is to inoculate all human beings on earth first, which is defensible ITO.

Just for you after your weak reply about the link not being acceptable to your ever so delicate condition.
I am giving a new link that says the same thing..
And do not expect me to keep on correcting and doing research for you, simply because in your abject blindness you appear to be so childishly incapable of doing so.

The panel is not saying boosters don't work.

You need to tell the truth, and quit misreading into the document what is not there.

Getting the vax is safer than not getting it, but, hey, you all can stay home if you want.
