The U.S. government is considering giving some people half the dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in order to speed vaccinations, a federal official said on Sunday.
Moncef Slaoui, head of Operation Warp Speed, the federal vaccine program, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that officials were in talks with Moderna and the Food and Drug Administration about the idea. Moderna’s vaccine requires two injections.
“We know that for the Moderna vaccine, giving half of the dose to people between the ages of 18 and 55, two doses, half the dose, which means exactly achieving the objective of immunizing double the number of people with the doses we have,” Slaoui said.
“We know it induces identical immune response” to the full dose, he added.
Moderna and the FDA could not immediately be reached for comment.

That is the correct thing to do.
Cuomo will ascertain that New Yorkers will be first to get half dosages!
Sure, let’s do things that were not tested in the clinical trials – like the Britains!
“Britain takes a gamble with Covid-19 vaccines”: They are delaying the second dose of the vaccine and allowing for a non-matching second dose. “… they are also effectively turning that country into a living laboratory.” “Bieniasz believes Britain is replicating in people the experiments he’s been doing in his lab — and could be fostering vaccine-resistant forms of the virus.”

The Deep State need to chaap arein and infect more and more gullible people with their vaccine that includes chemicals for lethal injections before the President will stop it altogether.
