Despite WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros's pleas for the west to impose a booster shot "Moratorium" to give the developing world a better chance of catching up to North America and Europe in the vaccination race, it looks like President Biden is preparing to greenlight booster jabs for the most vulnerable, Axios reports.
Israel became the first country to start handing out booster shots earlier this month, and the UK and Germany are already reportedly drawing up plans for booster jabs as well.
As Axios points out, scientists aren't exactly in agreement that booster shots are the right course of action.
"Weare prepared if the FDA decides that they are going to recommend a booster," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said yesterday at a briefing.
The FDA recently claimed there wasn't enough evidence to warrant recommending booster shots after Pfizer started actively campaigning for them.
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel appeared on CNBC Thursday morning to advocate the need for booster shots while promoting the latest favorable data.
The US isn't the only western power ignoring the WHO's call for the moratorium: France on Thursday announced that it would start doling out booster jabs in the fall, joining Germany in the UK, who have announced similar plans.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
