FDA official: We can’t keep ‘boosting’ for COVID-19

A top FDA official says a fourth COVID booster shot should be seen as a “stop gap” measure, concluding “we simply can’t be boosting people as frequently as we are.”

Dr. Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, made the remark at the recent meeting of the FDA’s Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, TrialSite reported.

“I think we are very much on board with the idea that we simply can’t be boosting people as frequently as we are,” said Marks, a New York University-trained molecular biologist and hematologist/medical oncologist.

Marks said he’s the “first to acknowledge that an additional fourth booster dose that was authorized was a stopgap measure until we got things in place for the next potential booster, given the emerging data researching … advanced vaccines, mucosal vaccines, pan coronavirus vaccines.”

  1. How much room is there on those cards? Line up little sheep and do what these little people want you to do so they can feel important.
