Health Canada approved on Friday the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster vaccine that targets the BA.4 and BA.5 strains of the Omicron variant.

Last Updated Friday, October 7, 2022 5:45PM EDT

“And that'll help you in terms of serious illness protection, but it will also give you some protection, especially in the short term against potentially getting infected with COVID.” Given the slowing uptake of boosters in Canada, 11 million doses will likely be more than enough to give a booster to those who want one.

Sharma said there isn't a lot of difference between the results of being boosted with one or the other, even though BA.4 and BA.5 are the dominant strains in circulation now.

'Hope'. That sounds like firm science.

yeh good luck with that ......

You guys need to focus on something else and stop this bullshit.

“Hope”

Lol no

Whose going to end this? Who is going to say enough is enough. Who is going to be man enough. Anyone. Any Canadians out there? Stop being so nice

Hope. LOL.

🖕

If we only knew that Pfizer was different and that it takes care of the more recent variants causing the most infections, B4 & 5, before I had the Moderna which only covers BA1

Nope

I think some people were waiting for the newer vaccine. Hopefully enough people get it before Christmas.

Sadly out of touch with reality if they're hoping for that lol

Still spreading this disinformation I see

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Are there any Drs -Scientists out there Questioning the havoc all these multiple Covid-omicron -flu shots are wreaking on our immune systems Time to question the so called « $cience » $$$

Gotta keep filling Pfizer’s pockets $$$$$

Keep your poison, thanks

GET READY PEOPLE......MOTHER RUSSIA IS PISSED

Lol it won’t, people are done move on

now it's this vaxx will protect you to we hope ? How are.people wanting all these shots plus flu shots lol

More trial and error on a human population. Nice !

Nah we good tyranists

Yeahhh I don’t think I am getting any more of these “boosters” there’s no end in sight….

I’ll take it if you give me $500

Nope, still dont want it. I value my health.

The fall propaganda machine is kicking into gear, goto get those boosters shots into people, no one seems to want them.

Most of the vaccinated people I speak to say they are NOT taking any more. EnoughIsEnough Good luck

Four doses here. Pro vax obviously... Lol. No. CMOH and fordnation have fucked this up too far to come back now. Can't say the pandemic is over and then try and push vaccination.

but they are still including the original Wuhan spike in the new vaccines, to make sure the victims get a good load of the lethal stuff repeatedly..

No free burger or French fries this time around?

Nope.

What? No free donut incentives? Candies from John Tory? Weed? Free beer? Lottery tickets? 😂😂🤡🤡. Hope won’t do a thing! The gig is up!

!Catch me if you can!

Anyone reporting on the Declaration of Emergency Committee meeting and former Ottawa Police Chief Sloly’s testimony?

Nope. No one wants that shit.

CP24, your covid propaganda source!

I doubt it very much

Give it up CP24, your reign of terror is over now.

Are you serious 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

Long CoVid is just vaccine injury. No? Go find the thousands of unvaccinated suffering Long CoVid. stoptheshots

HoPe 🤡

Health officials are well aware that crude COVID-19 death RATES are highest in the boosted, yet want more people to get an mRNA booster? This is the official data. Crude rates show the burden on society as a whole. We need to re-evaluate our approach.

Meanwhile, the rest of the SANE world, like most of Europe and Australia don’t recommend ANY vaccine for those under 50, due to the growing number of side effects.

They won’t, the only reason anyone took any of the other shots was because they were coerced with the threat of job/livelihood loss and societal shunning. Very few people took it of their own free will.

Bahahahahahaha

Let us know how that goes 🤡

GFY Can u stop ? Like give it up already Quit calling it a 'vaccine'. Recommending a booster every few months indicates it is a pitiful therapeutic.
