According to Moderna, a third booster shot will likely be needed “prior to the Winter Season.”
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel revealed information regarding his company’s COVID-19 booster vaccine, Fox News reports.
He said that “when we see the totality of the data, we’ll take the best booster.” Bancel then explained that some people could “get the booster as soon as September.”
However, he says his company is “waiting for a bit more data,” which surely won’t produce strong public confidence in the “booster.”
Below is the press release from Moderna. As it’s been widely reported, some people who are fully vaccinated are still being diagnosed with Covid-19, partially due to the “delta variant.”

A new report shows that COVID vaccines have helped create nine new billionaires with “a combined wealth greater than the cost of vaccinating the world’s poorest countries.”
The People’s Vaccine Alliance confirmed that “at least nine people have become new billionaires since the beginning of the COVID pandemic.”
This news came ahead of a G20 leaders Global Health Summit.
This new wealth is due to “the excessive profits pharmaceutical corporations with monopolies on COVID vaccines are making.”
The nine new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion.
This is enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times, the report claims.
However, low-income countries have received only 0.2 percent of the global supply of vaccines while being home to 10 percent of the world’s population.
TRENDING 👇 Trump Critic Kathy Griffin Reveals Her Dark Past
Comedian Kathy Griffin gained political notoriety in 2017 after she “joked” about killing then-President Trump in a photo using a fake severed head of the former president.
The comedian, who is now 60, revealed she is battling stage one lung cancer. In an interview with ABC News, Griffin revealed much more about her past. Over the past four years, Griffin said her life spiraled after facing immense backlash for posing with a bloodied, severed fake head of then-President Trump. Griffin struggled with pill addiction and thoughts of suicide after posting the picture in 2017.
“I thought, ‘Well, I don’t even drink… Big deal, I take a couple pills now and again, who doesn’t?’” she told ABC News. “Also, my age was a big part of it. I mean, who bottoms out and tries to take their life at 59? It’s almost a joke, right, and by the way, someday, this will all be comedy. Trust me… I was laughing to stay alive. And what I found is I felt like if I can’t make others laugh, then there’s no purpose for me to live. There’s no reason for me to live.”
“I just felt there was impending doom,” she said. “I was already starting to think … it was time for me to go. And I was certainly being told by an awful lotta people it’s time for me to go.” More from Fox News:
After an apology and a subsequent rescinding of that apology, Griffin embarked on the cheekily titled “Laugh Your Head Off” tour in 2017. She noted that it was around that time that she was introduced to pills, leading to a behind-the-scenes battle that would ultimately lead to a suicide attempt…
She was first prescribed Provigil by a doctor. That was soon followed by a prescription to Ambien to help her sleep followed by painkillers to help her manage various injuries. The star says that her dependence on pills “got out of control very rapidly.”
Her addiction quickly led to thoughts of suicide. She says that her life was dedicated to getting on stage and showing people how resilient she was. However, amid the immense backlash from the Trump photo, she revealed that she started to feel her critics were right and that there was no next chapter in her career or life.
