A fourth Covid-19 shot might be recommended this fall

As the world approaches the second anniversary of the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization, on March 11, more nations are rolling out — or are discussing the possibility of — fourth doses of coronavirus vaccine for their most vulnerable. In the United States, leading public health officials say they are "very carefully" monitoring if or when fourth doses might be needed. CNN’s Jacqueline Howard reports. #CNN #News

  1. Ok, it’s really quite simple. The third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose you’ll be protected. Once 80% of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading. I am confident that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we’ll have no reason to fear the eighth dose. The clinical phase of the ninth dose will confirm that the antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose will insure that no new mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the twelfth dose.

    1. @Deborah Freedman Just to clarify, there were three serotypes of enterovirus C and the Salk vaccine contains all three. Types 2 & 3 have been declared eradicated (in 2015 and 2019 respectively). Only Type 1 remains, but the reason for multiple shots with spacing is immune maturation. The covid booster is really just the 2nd shot re-administered after time for immune maturation from the original get everyone quick protection series.

    2. @Deborah Freedman The analogy I like to use with people is that vaccines are like fire extinguishers.
      Extinguishers don’t prevent fires, they help you to put them out before they burn your house down.
      Similarly, vaccines don’t prevent infections, they help you to put them out before they turn into disease and burn your health down.

    3. @Peter S Shouldn’t all so called antivaxxers be dead by now according to that logic …… Must be wishful on your part …… Wishing death on other people just because …..👁👁👁👁

  2. Hi guys, got my 9th booster today! I feel absolutely totally amazing, best day of my life!! Remember to still wear at least 2 masks even at home or driving alone, we’re almost there guys! Keep it up

    1. Oh honey, are you sure you want to post this? In the words of Maurice Switzer, “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”

  3. We don’t even know what variant we have in fall? And for omicron hospitalizations dropped more than 60% already.

    1. Yes Its reported to have a drop in hospitalizations it’s also been reported Omicron is able to get past the tests..it was also reported a variant B.1.640.2 popped up in France the same time as Omicron showed up in Africa

    2. Somatic hypermutation in the germinal centers of your lymph nodes protects you from all existing and likely all future variants.

    1. Oh honey, are you sure you want to post this? In the words of Maurice Switzer, “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”

  4. Kind of amazing to watch these guys covid 19 paranoia addicts dig in. It’s crazy, but it’s pretty fukin fun to watch. Thanks CNN, and please don’t ever stop😂

  5. This is a fact. Every single does is exactly the same as the one before it, both in content and size.
    It looks like the Vaccines have problem of working longer than 6 months, that is why they will keep increase these additional shots until they figure out a better vaccination product. I expect it might take up to 5 years to get something better.

  6. Reporter: “Dr. Fauci, what are your concerns with the covid now?”
    Dr. Fauci: “Well after the 10th booster shot we will have to look at the data and see where we are at”

    1. @Rhonda Busby are you just gonna keep posting that same comment with everyone you disagree with? Enjoy your monthly booster shot Karen.

    2. @Ve G Oh honey, are you sure you want to post this? In the words of Maurice Switzer, “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”

  7. Imagine polluting your bloodstream multiple times a year just to keep a job… Wow… Talk about priorities.🙄

  8. This is ridiculous 🤦🏾‍♂️. How many more do we have to take?!!! Looks like pharma is getting rich off of government contracts….. 🤔…. Imagine that?

  9. I would much rather stay at home and never leave than get a FOURTH one. At this point I’m starting to think that I may have trypanophobia
    I’m terrified of needles and have a panic attack whenever I need to get a shot. Flu shot or COVID shot, doesn’t matter.
