Third shot may be needed to combat new coronavirus variants #BillGates #Covid19 #Vaccines

"A third dose of coronavirus vaccine may be needed to prevent serious cases of new variants of the disease, Bill Gates said Tuesday. The billionaire philanthropist's comments come amid to the growing concern that current vaccines are less effective against the South African and Brazilian variants.
"The discussion now is do we just need to get a super high coverage of the current vaccine, or do we need a third dose that's just the same, or do we need a modified vaccine?" Gates told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.
"All five of the companies that have U.S. vaccines are looking at making that modification and adding that in so that people who've already had two shots might need to get a third shot," he said. "I think it's reasonably likely that we will have a tuned vaccine just to make absolutely sure that as these variants hit the U.S. that they're not escaping from vaccine protection."
Gates is funding studies in South Africa to determine whether the AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax vaccines were as effective against the more contagious variant.
"AstraZeneca in particular has a challenge with the variant. And the other two, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax, are slightly less effective, but still effective enough that we absolutely should get them out as fast as we can while we study this idea of tuning the vaccine," Gates said.
If the coronavirus is not eradicated, he said, additional shots may be necessary in the future. "Probably not yearly, but as long as it's out there, we want as many Americans as possible not to be spreading it to each other," he said.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration, told CBS News' "Face the Nation" on February 7 that he believed the vaccines currently being distributed in the U.S. would offer "reasonable protection" against the new variants, even if they are less effective against the new strains. Still, he said, it may also be necessary to administer booster shots in the fall." Go to: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-vaccine-variants-third-shot-bill-gates/ for vid.
If you last that long, quote; "BELOIT, WISCONSIN — Sara Stickles shared a Facebook post on February 6 talking about reverse karma.
The young healthcare worker’s life was essentially extinguished the very next day.
Ms. Stickles received the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA shot on or around February 2, according to a family Facebook post. She immediately broke out in rashes. Ms. Stickles had severe headaches five days later, Sunday, February 7. Soon thereafter, she started crying and said “something isn’t right. Just hold me” She lost the ability to speak, her eyes crossed and glazed over, before she lost consciousness, according to a Facebook post by Jacqueline F. Gifford.
She was taken to SwedishAmerican Hospital, just over the state line from Beloit. The initial diagnosis was a ruptured brain aneurysm. She was then airlifted to the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison the next day, according to her uncle, George Allen Petit. Doctors performed a cerebral angiography through her groin all the way up to her brain. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was also mentioned as the possible issue.
Kara Stickles, Sara’s twin sister, posted an update on February 10. Sara “has no brain activity,” she said. Doctors called the family and summonsed them to the hospital to say their goodbyes. She died yesterday."
I had a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on 26th January with absolutely no side effects apart from the sore place on my arm where the injection took place.
Good...no one wants deaths..people are different (our endocrine libraries being stocked with the experiences of our own lives and that of our ancestors), but invasive mucking around (instead of harmonising), with the system limits the range of positive outcomes (imho), ..
So you think we should just give away our personal sovereignty, no oversight, no criticism? The pro-vaccine paradigm is just a step on the path of eugenicist totalitarianism..its so clear now, if you truly believe vaccines are the prime response to a pandemic you cannot (in all conscience), permit choice can you?

So it was on Facebook but the story publicised on another site...so what? The International Society of Doctors for the Environment use Facebook..am I not to visit there because to visit a Facebook page would be "incorrect"? You chose to focus on one piece of my post without contextualising (which is what the other posts about Gates were for), apparently there's no such thing as the circumstantial in your black and white world..anti-vegan, anti anti-vacc colours tied clearly to the mast there Ken...very brave considering the criminal record of the redundant paradigm..organ o-phosphates were responsible for the U.K CJD outbreak..did you know that? AIDS was made too....I'm sorry I make you so angry it's not my wish..but I have no choice...and your "debunking" of some of my other favourite theories (about the Ten Plagues, Soddom and Gomorrah etc.), is just plain old-school sectarianism now K..people have moved on you know.....Years ago me and my fellow campaigners were some of the first to really engage with mainstream scientists (like Prof. Iain Stewart), concerning Climate Change..now even neo-libs espouse the theory..have any of us been thanked? Have I been employed (with some grandiose title), to fight the dread Climate Change scourge?..No matey...I've had to follow up on other "conspiracies" which makes me as popular with those "liberals" who now (believe that they), battle Climate Change as I was with their "liberal" predecessors..and I still have no security of income...go figure matey..go figure..
