The anti-vaxx gang laughed, laughed and saw members with holes being stabbed many times.
When you read this article, some of you may have received a booster shot and some may be waiting for a booster shot.
Good news for the anti-vaccine group and bad news for the pro-vaccine group where Stephane Bancel, chief executive of Moderna Inc said the effectiveness of the booster shot will disappear over time and there will be a 4th injection.
According to a statement from Bancel interviewed by Goldman Sachs, the effectiveness of the booster dose will decrease over time like the first and second dose injections so he did not rule out the possibility of a 4th injection by autumn in the United States (US).
The Omicron Covid-19 variant which has a high level of infection has shocked the world where in the US on average there are more than 574,000 new cases a day as a result of a survey of data by CNBC analysts from John Hopkins University released.
According to Bancel, the United Kingdom (UK) and Korean governments have already ordered additional doses in preparation and he also added that the elderly or those with health conditions may need annual booster doses for years to come.
Meanwhile, data from the UK showed 2 doses of Moderna and Pfizer were only 10% effective in preventing Omicron symptomatic infection within 20 weeks after the second dose and the U.K. Health Security Agency also found the booster dose was only 75% effective after the second dose.
The same study also found that booster shots would lose their effectiveness within 4 weeks.
Meanwhile, although the Omicron variant has over a dozen mutations, it is so far less symptomatic than the previous variant.
