Net Hype Fourth Cowid Shot, Blame Case Spike on Loose Restrictions

After weeks spent covering the Russian aggression in Ukraine, Tuesday evening’s newscasts briefly returned to their previous obsession: hyping the Kovid epidemic and imposing endless vaccinations and masked mandates on those who for the most part simply want to return to normal life.

On NBC Nightly NewsThose with the most over-the-top coverage report with anchor Lester Holt how Pfizer asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “ To approve a fourth Covid vaccine shot for older Americans. “He argued that there are alarming signs abroad that” raise fears that the United States could move on to another spike. ”

In his report, National Correspondent Miguel Almagu asked Tyson Bell, a doctor in the Department of Critical Care and Infectious Diseases at the University of Virginia, what Americans think. “Want to get a second booster or a fourth shot?”

Bell whined that “We’ve seen people have trouble getting their first booster. I mean, at the moment we only have 50 percent qualified people boosted, that’s already a big problem. “

Almaguer then announced that Dr. Anthony Fawcett “There are three main reasons behind the rise of England. Omicron subvariant ba.2 is more contagious, though not necessarily more serious. The relaxed order of not wearing a mask inside the house is also having an effect. Immunizations such as vaccines or previous infections are declining immunity. “

On ABC World news tonightWhich also covers Pfizer’s recommendation that Americans get a fourth Covid shot, National Correspondent Stephen Ramos interviewed Dr. Ashish Jha about where the Covid epidemic is expected to go.

According to Fawcett’s statement on NBC, Zhao did not blame social distance or masks for the spike in Kovid’s case: “They are free from all mitigation measures, no masks, no distances. I think that creates some sensitivity in that context. Maybe even a little bit of immunity is declining. ”

At the end of his report, Ramos lamented how worried Dr. Zha was “Many Americans are still vulnerable. He says more people need to be vaccinated or boosted. ”

Meanwhile, on CBS Evening NewsAnchor Norah O’Donnell only briefly mentions the possibility of a fourth vaccine:

There are several big epidemic headlines tonight. Just this: Pfizer is requesting FDA approval for an additional COVID booster for seniors. This will be a fourth dose to maximize protection for those 65 and older. And the CDC continues to track the new Covid case, saying that one of about four new transmissions in the United States came from a new train of the Omicron variant known as the ba.2.

The leftist media does not want us to ever return to normal. If it depends on them, Americans will wear masks, maintain social distance and take COVID booster shots forever.

So, that combination probably explains why we are seeing growth in Europe.
