Updated COVID vaccines are on the way but they're already out of date and almost no one is taking them anymore, says an outspoken cardiologist.

The FDA has approved updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax, and expect the rollout to begin shortly. But cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough says they're already out of date.

“The latest booster covers variants JN1, and that is fading rapidly. It's less than 1% of all the variants as of August 17th," he advises. "The other one is KP2, and KP2 is 14.4% and fading quickly.”

McCullough, who has emerged as a well-known skeptic of the emergency vaccine, has not changed his tune and still doesn’t recommend it. He says the research has been building to document their rare but harmful – and even deadly – side effects. The variants have now weakened since the pandemic, he says, and so the vaccine is not as strong.

“Boosters, I think, probably are safer than the original vaccines because the spike protein is far more mild. So they're coding for a much milder spike protein,” he advises. “But it's too little too late. I don't think anybody can expect to have any benefit by taking the shot.”

Additionally, he says, fear over the virus has worn off and therefore demand for the vaccines has fallen off dramatically. According to CDA data, only 1.6% of people rolled up a sleeve for the previous booster.

“They're very unpopular,” he concludes. “They're not required for work or school or travel. No one wants to take COVID shots anymore.”
