Just 14 percent of adults in America of received one of the new shots, according to CDC data.
The uptake of the new COVID-19 vaccines is lower than ideal, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says.
“COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower than we’d like to see, and most people will be without the added protection that can reduce the severity of COVID-19,” the CDC said in a Nov. 22 statement.
Just 14 percent of U.S. adults have received one of the new shots, which became available in the fall, according to CDC data.
Surveys show people aren’t getting the vaccines because of concerns about side effects and the lack of clinical data.
The CDC recommended the vaccines for nearly all Americans after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized and approved them based largely on animal testing.
Human testing results have only been reported from 50 people.

RELATED: Pfizer Failed to Disclose Risks of Preterm Birth and Neonatal Death to Pregnant Women in RSV Vaccine Trial
Published November 23, 2023
A BMJ investigation revealed Pfizer was studying preterm births as an “adverse event of special interest” in RSV trial, but didn’t inform pregnant participants.
Pfizer failed to inform pregnant women participating in its clinical trial for the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine that the clinical trial of a similar vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) was halted after a safety signal revealed a potential risk of preterm births leading to neonatal deaths.
Even though Pfizer knew about the potential safety signal and was studying preterm births as an “adverse event of special interest,” it continued to enroll women in its clinical trial and did not fully inform participants of the risks the vaccine may pose to their babies—and in some cases, provided misleading and contradictory statements, according to an investigation by The BMJ.
“The BMJ article demonstrates Pfizer’s continued disregard for the law and patient choice,” attorney Thomas Renz told The Epoch Times in an email. “The entire point of informed consent is to ensure a patient can make a decision based on all available information. Rather than embracing the Nuremberg Code and American laws and regulations, Pfizer seems to view informed consent as a barrier to sales—something that causes vaccine hesitancy or drug hesitancy.”

RELATED: ‘Mitochondrial Dysfunction’ Is Not Dysfunction: Experts
Published November 23, 2023
Deep within the cells of your body, tiny energy powerhouses—mitochondria—may hold the key to recovery.
Deep within the cells of your body, tiny energy powerhouses—mitochondria—may hold the key to recovering from the most confounding chronic diseases and infections.
‘Mitochondrial Dysfunction’ Could Be a Sign of Healing
Known as the “powerhouses of the cell,” mitochondria’s primary function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells. But scientists like Dr. Robert Naviaux, who leads the Mitochondrial and Metabolic Disease Center at UC San Diego, have pointed out that the time for thinking of mitochondria only as the powerhouses of the cell has passed.
When a person battles infections, chronic diseases, and injuries, mitochondria produce less energy and become inflamed and oxidative.
This can lead to fatigue, lethargy, and organ dysfunction due to reduced energy output and the body’s response to inflammation and oxidative stress.
Mainstream medicine labels this as “mitochondrial dysfunction,” implying that mitochondria aren’t producing as much energy as they should.
