COVID vaccine mandates, facemasks, and lockdowns are making a comeback.

Vice President Kamala Harris has set COVID vaccine mandates for all campaign workers.

The Harris-Walz campaign requires staffers to be “up to date” on COVID vaccines.

Coincidentally, just this week the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) signed off on new COVID boosters from Pfizer and Moderna.

ABC News reports: “The FDA approved and granted emergency use authorization Thursday for updated COVID-19 vaccines for the upcoming fall and winter season.”

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) urges everyone ages 6 months and older to get vaccinated.

Shipments of the new vaccines could be available in Walgreens and CVS stores by Monday.

The COVID injections target “new variants” according to REUTERS.

“Vaccination continues to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention,” said Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

“Given waning immunity of the population from previous exposure to the virus and from prior vaccination, we strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants.”

Prior to 2020, previous exposure to a virus provided some protection to a virus – even better protection than vaccines. However, the CDC changed the definition of vaccination in 2021.
