A top vaccine expert and FDA adviser has warned that there is insufficient evidence to recommend the new booster shot for healthy young adults and said it could carry risks.
Dr. Paul Offit, MD is an American pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, vaccines, immunology, and virology. He is also the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine.
Dr. Offit: “When you’re asking people to get a vaccine, I think there has to be clear evidence of benefit. And we’re not going to have clinical studies, obviously, before this launches, but you’d like to have at least human data on people getting this vaccine. You see a clear and dramatic increase in neutralizing antibiotics, and then at least you have a correlate of protection against BA4, BA5. Because if you don’t have that, if there’s not clear evidence of benefit, then it’s not fair [to ask people to take a risk]. The benefits should be clear.”
Earlier this month, a CDC panel voted in favor of approving the latest Covid booster shot that hasn’t even been tested on humans.
The latest Covid booster, bivalent, was supposedly reformulated to ‘protect’ against Omicron subvariants.
Bivalent boosters contain the original Covid-19 strain and the genetic code of the Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5.
The new COVID boosters were not tested on humans – only on mice.
