Mix 'n match: Just before a panel of experts voted to recommend a J&J booster shot, top FDA official, Dr. Peter Marks, said the agency might consider allowing J&J vax recipients to receive boosters of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines https://t.co/8I6HW0nc21

#VRBPAC voted unanimously that people who get the J&J vaccine should be boosted after 2 months.
There will be a catchup for people who were vaccinated longer ago.

2. FDA has only approved/authorized Pfizer, Moderna & J&J. But the WHO has given emergency authorizations to a number of vaccines, including the AstraZeneca vaccine, which many Canadians received.

Conclusions from @NIH comparing three #COVID19#vaccines with boosters.
They all work.
No serious side effects seen with any of them.
Moderna mRNA vax gives the strongest responses both with and without boosting.

Overall, regardless of the variant strain of #SARSCoV2 individuals are exposed to, boosted #COVID19 vaccines give immune responses & antibody levels at high levels, with @moderna_tx best, followed by @pfizer & then @JanssenGlobal (J&J). Results from @NIH presented to @US_FDA now.

That viral tweet about every restaurant worker in a Denver airport terminal walking out due to a vaccine mandate was bullshit. bonus: the person who tweeted it threatened a reporter who fact checked it with a libel suit https://t.co/8v0jYJpE1a
— Anna Merlan (@annamerlan) October 15, 2021
… The claim originated with a social media post on Thursday by Pam Long, a vaccine critic and writer for The Defender, a publication of the anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense.
Long was previously the president of Colorado Health Choices Alliance, which opposes vaccine requirements.
“Denver Airport. The owner of 5 restaurants in C terminal made a Nov. 1st mandate or get fired,” Long posted on Twitter. “None of the cooks, dishwashers, bussers and hosts showed up to work. So there were no restaurants open in C Terminal. He immediately sent an email reversing mandate.”
Long’s claim quickly gained traction among vaccine critics, amassing 7,983 retweets and 28,300 likes…
[DIA’s] Rentaria said there was no unexpected closure of restaurants outside regular hours, let alone a mass closure of every restaurant in Concourse C due to an employee strike over a vaccine mandate…Reached by phone, Long said she had heard about an employee revolt against a vaccine mandate at DIA and did not attempt to determine if it was true before sharing it on social media.
“I’m not a reporter,” Long said. “That’s your job.”
Long warned 9NEWS against airing a fact-check of her claim.
“I would not run this story if you consider libel a threat,” Long said.
Minutes later, her social media post was deleted.
