Looking like we need boosters after 5 months now mchill Aug 2021 #6

We need boosters but there seem to be no plans. LisaL Aug 2021 #7

The data does not yet indicate boosters James48 Aug 2021 #32

While we wait, people will start getting sick and dying. LisaL Aug 2021 #33

You don't know "the booster is supposed to be given at six months". James48 Aug 2021 #35

I clearly stated that booster has to be given at 6 months per Pfizer. LisaL Aug 2021 #37

Facts. James48 Aug 2021 #38

Israel is giving it to anyone over 60. Not a small group. LisaL Aug 2021 #39

It's pretty much a given that the data is incomplete and likely an undercount, lapucelle Aug 2021 #25

Thank you for providing crucial context OP failed to provide. hay rick Aug 2021 #41

So, it's amazingly good news. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #58

There's some anecdotal evidence that Moderna is a little better than Pfizer Ex Lurker Aug 2021 #52

Exactly. Leaving that detail out irresponsible, but that is the pattern that has been followed JohnSJ Aug 2021 #31

More evidence the vaccine works extremely well. Jon King Aug 2021 #19

49 deaths out of 5.2 million fully vaccinated NJ residents - not a reason to panic. Fiendish Thingy Aug 2021 #23

Thirty of them were over 80. LisaL Aug 2021 #46

that article gave me a paywall orleans Aug 2021 #48

Of 5.2 million fully vaccinated people in NJ, 49 have died from coronavirus MyMission Aug 2021 #51

That snapshot in time would have been incredibly misleading. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #55

A statement of facts is not misleading. Facts are not responsible for the inferences (good or bad) lapucelle Aug 2021 #60

While I agree that facts, accompanied by complete information about what the facts mean Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #64
