The latest COVID-19 vaccine is now accessible at participating pharmacies and healthcare providers, endorsed by the CDC for individuals aged 6 months and older.
Not all health experts support this recommendation.
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general, said, “It’s just a really terrible idea.”
“And it’s remarkable and really spellbinding that [the CDC] would make that kind of recommendation in the absence of evidence,” he continued.
“The FDA and CDC could have compelled Pfizer or Moderna to conduct clinical trials — that’s something that’s totally doable — and they didn’t do it,” he said.
“The risks are very real, which adds to the madness of the way that the CDC and the FDA are making decisions right now,” he said.
“I suspect that it is a real finding and a major safety concern,” he said. “And they’re pushing the product on human beings. That is an anti-human approach … an anti-human policy.”
“There are so many reasons to say ‘pause’ at this point. Instead, the CDC and FDA are saying ‘full steam ahead.'”
“The CDC was vocal about the spike protein being a very short-lived phenomenon … and now we have people who, for prolonged periods of time, seem to have evidence of spike proteins circulating in their tissues,” Ladapo said. “Is that a safe outcome? I don’t think so.”
“Human beings deserve better than these products that have very high rates … of serious adverse events,” Ladapo said.
Pfizer saw its 2022 revenue surpass a record $100 billion as company CEO Albert Bourla vowed that everyone will have a “perfectly normal life with just injection maybe once a year.” Bourla received a 36% pay hike and netted $33 million through the pandemic. Despite four doses of his company’s vaccine, the quadruple-vaxxed Pfizer CEO still tested positive for COVID last year in August 2022. Bourla stated that he was “thankful” to have received four doses of the vaccine at the time.
In March 2023, a staggering 40% of adults said they were very or somewhat concerned about the safety of the vaccine.
In the United States, 60% of adults said they had received at least one dose of the vaccine in January 2022. By March 2023, that number had dropped to 55%.
The new COVID variant is referred to as BA.2.86. It has been designated as a “variant under monitoring” by the WHO “due to the large number of mutations it carries.”
“Today we are more prepared than ever to detect and respond to changes in the COVID-19 virus. Scientists are working now to understand more about the newly identified lineage in these four cases, and we will share more information as it becomes available,” CDC spokesperson Kathleen Conley told CBS News.
The variant is one of dozens being tracked by national health agencies.
