The Presidents chief medical adviser Dr Anthony Fauci said that the language around what constitutes being fully vaccinated against Covid is being replaced.
Health officials are are starting to move away from an emphasis on what it means to be fully vaccinated in favor of staying ‘up to date’ with shots.
During a National Institutes of Health lecture Tuesday, Fauci said: “We’re using the terminology now ‘keeping your vaccinations up to date,’ rather than what ‘fully vaccinated’ means”. He added that “right now, optimal protection is with a third shot of an mRNA or a second shot of a J&J”

Anti’Empire reports: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called Tuesday for third shots of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine to be administered within five months of the initial two-shot series, shortening the time frame before a booster by a month. A CDC advisory panel is expected to recommend boosters for teenagers in a meeting Wednesday.
Early studies have indicated a booster of Pfizer Inc.‘s vaccine provides a 25-fold increase in neutralizing antibodies that fight the variant, Moderna Inc.‘s booster produces a 37-fold increase in antibodies, and two doses of Johnson & Johnson‘s vaccine cut hospitalizations in South Africa by 85%. [What is “neutralizing” about these antibodies when viral load in mRNA-treated and untreated is still the same?]
Fauci and other health leaders as well as President Joe Biden have pressed for months about the importance of getting both vaccinated and boosted. But the CDC’s definition of fully vaccinated has remained two weeks after the primary dose or doses. That decision has prompted questions at multiple White House press conferences as to whether the agency plans to change the definition of fully vaccinated.
“We are continuing to follow that science and it is literally evolving daily. And as that science evolves, we will continue to review the data and update our recommendations as necessary,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a White House briefing Dec. 15.
Fauci also said in September that he thinks three doses Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna’s mRNA vaccines will likely be the primary series.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made his remarks about new terminology in response to whether the U.S. will start to offer fourth doses the way Israel has.
“We need to find out what the durability of protection of the third shot is before we start thinking about the fourth shot.”

He needs an up to date shot of lead between the eyes.
