As if they did not learn their lesson the first time around… or the second… President Biden said Friday, August 25, 2023, that he plans to request additional funding from Congress for the development of a new COVID-19 vaccine, adding he may require everyone to take it, regardless of whether they previously received a vaccine or not.
Good luck with that, Skippy. As many have already seen, the Surgeon General for the state of Florida has already advised to push back and refuse any mandatory vaccines.
Biden, who is vacationing in the Lake Tahoe area, was asked by a reporter on Friday if he could say anything about the uptick of COVID cases and a new variant.
‘Yes, I can’, the president said. ‘I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works’.
He added, ‘Tentatively it is recommended that it will likely be recommended everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not’.
A $40 million funding request to Congress from the White House on August 11, 2023 did not mention coronavirus money, but included money for Ukraine, U.S. federal disaster funds, and funds to bolster the enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border to slow the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
In 2022, the Biden administration requested $9.25 billion to fight the virus, but Congressional lawmakers refused the request.
As coronavirus continues to mutate, there will always be a need to update vaccines.
Next month, people will begin to receive the annual fall COVID-19 shot, as Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax are working on doses of the XBB update.
Still, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will need to sign off on each vaccine, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must issue recommendations for their use.
And so the lunacy continues.
