Help you fight omicron, or how much it would help you fight omicron. let s look at basic results. moderna is saying their current booster, which is 50 micro grams, that it boosted antibodies. they said 100 micrograms, double the dose, boosted antibodies even higher which brings into question, should they have made it 100 micro grams. but the effectiveness is unclear. just because it boosted antibodies does not necessarily mean that it s going to help you in your fight against omicron. but i think the bottom line, the sort of take-home message for all of us stays the same. get vaccinated of course. and get boosted. it did boost antibodies. it s not going to hurt you. and it could help you. bottom line is the same. get vaccinated and get boosted if you re more than six months past your second shot. also this morning, dr. anthony ....
Need to know. what is it? oh, victor, there is a lot. it s not entirely clear how effective or if it s really all that effective, this booster, that moderna is putting out now. the 50 micro gram booster that you can get at pharmacies. it gets complicated. let me lay it out. let s take a look at what moderna said. moderna said when they looked at their current booster, 50 micro grams, that s what you can get going to a pharmacy or whatever. it did boost antibodies, but 100 micro grams boosted antibodies even higher, and the effectiveness of either dose against omicron is unclear. just because you boosted antibodies does not necessarily tell you exactly how effective it is or how long the sort of durability of any protection that it might give. now, president of moderna says, well, maybe, you know, it s possible that we could go to a 100 micro gram dosage. that would be easy enough. that s what the first two shots of moderna are. they re sitting on shelves. ....
I m a pfizer guy. i need to say. but plain and simple is moderna the better vaccine? i don t know that we can say that yet. initially it was interesting because the very first recipients got the pfizer vaccines. they were the most vulnerable but also older and had higher risk factors. so they seemingly did not do as well. the moderna vaccine is a higher dose than the pfizer vaccine. pfizer is 30 micro grams. moderna is 50. so for the booster, a hundred for the actual shot. so it could have something to do with that. they re both if you really look at the data still very good at preventing serious illness. there was a slight uptick in hospitalization but overall still pretty comparable. all right. sanjay gupta, good to have you in studio and see you. thanks so much. drama inside the courtroom of actor jussie smollett s trial including an attorney claiming the judge lunged at her. wild details, next. , is a walk through your history. do you remember who this is? it s a gift that su ....
