Much as I disdain the idiots and inept blockheads at WHO (ssshhhh, I worked as a Regional epidemiologist in 2008 and as WHO/PAHO's evidence synthesis advisor for COVID and they are ding dongs)....
they laid the MOAB smackdowns on Pfizer, Moderna et al. saying your vaccines are worthless basically "Repeating boosters of same Covid vaccines is not a viable strategy to tackle pandemic"
But my stint at WHO and govn of Canada were the low points in my career. Absolute ding dongs. But I had to do it to see. I made many good friends and colleagues and even in US govn, but very inept and incompetent. Friends but clueless. Went in with vast graduate training skills, but lost it all pulling fuzz balls from their navels during the day. But do not tell them that, they tell you ‘hey, I am on pensionable time, leave me alone to plan my retirement at 28”….Govn draws that to it, good talent, but then destroys it and thus I could not stay or belong. In no bureaucracy, they told me this, to get out, you dont fit here! ;-) Beautiful human beings…
Now, lets focus, they, WHO, have now told the vaccine makers today, that the vaccines are worthless and essentially garbage. Failed. And they are the idiots who governs all of this…it is breath taking. I need to go buy some scotch to sit back and have a couple to enjoy this moment.
Here is a key sentence:
“A vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable,”….
“The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned against the repeat use of original Covid-19 vaccines as booster shots and said the strategy is “unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable” in the fight against emerging variants.”
Did I not tell you they are all trying to run far from boosters??? They are running to the hills…they just found out despite we/I telling them for near one year the vaccine kills and is unsafe and does NOT work, and the boosters will kill…now the WHO are trying to put something in writing to CYA….someone should tell Trump….that the vaccine today is based on the original Wuhan strain, and it cannot work for Omicron or Delta…CANNOT! Period! Paging POTUS Trump….
WOW!!!!!!!!! Just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! They just stated that you morons, you Bourla, you Fauci, you Francis Collins, you Walensky, you CDC, NIH etc. are foisting failed vaccine on people that cannot work for it is the wrong spike in the vaccine, you idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you are doing it ‘repeatedly’….you and the CDC and NIH are defrauding people, and harming them too with something that does not work and cannot work and you are also driving variants…what you are doing is deliberate and actually maybe a crime…you know it cannot work yet are doing it and FDA is sitting back allowing you to.
I could go on and on what each word meant but you guys are very smart and understand so here is the url:

here is the text in case yahoo moves it…
Repeating boosters of same Covid vaccines is not a viable strategy to tackle pandemic, WHO warns
“The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned against the repeat use of original Covid-19 vaccines as booster shots and said the strategy is “unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable” in the fight against emerging variants.
“A vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable,” the WHO Technical Advisory Group on Covid-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-Co-VAC) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The 18-member expert task force assessing the performance of Covid vaccines has also asked for new jabs that can provide better protection against the transmission of the virus.
“The TAG-Co-VAC considers that Covid-19 vaccines that have high impact on prevention of infection and transmission, in addition to the prevention of severe disease and death, are needed and should be developed,” said the statement.
Simply providing fresh jabs of existing vaccines was not the best way to fight the pandemic, the panel pointed out.
Vaccines should be based on variants “that are genetically and antigenically close to the circulating Sars-CoV-2 [the scientific name for the novel coronavirus] variant(s),” the TAG-Co-VAC explained.
The panel said it would consider a change in the composition of vaccines.
Existing vaccines were less effective in preventing symptomatic Covid disease in people who contracted the Omicron variant of the virus, according to preliminary data.
Protection against severe disease, however, “is more likely to be preserved”.
In addition to protecting people against severe disease and death, Covid vaccines “need to be more effective in protection against infection thus lowering community transmission and the need for stringent and broad-reaching public health and social measures,” the WHO said.
The vaccines should also “elicit immune responses that are broad, strong, and long-lasting in order to reduce the need for successive booster doses.”
Meanwhile, vaccine makers should generate and provide data on performance of existing and Omicron-specific Covid vaccines, the expert task force said.
This should include the “breadth, magnitude, and durability of humoral and cell mediated immune responses to variants through monovalent and/or multivalent vaccines,” it added.
The data will go on to help TAG-Co-VAC when changes to vaccine compositions may be required.
The panel noted the global urgency of prioritising primary vaccination for high-groups as opposed to booster shots in some countries.
“In practical terms, while some countries may recommend booster doses of vaccine, the immediate priority for the world is accelerating access to the primary vaccination, particularly for groups at greater risk of developing severe disease,” the statement said.
Omicron is unlikely to be the last Variant of Concern as the evolution of the virus is expected to continue, the panel pointed out.”
We already have a new vaccine. It is named Omicrom. It may be a little uncomfortable but is nicely handled by the immune system endowed to you by your creator.
I'm ready for a scotch too. Unfortunately I will have to wait a bit since it's only 2:30 in the afternoon. Canada still pushing booster shots and Trudeau on national TV today telling the kids to ask their parents to get them vaccinated.
