“There have been several large clinical trials across the country and world that have demonstrated that the vaccines are just about 100% effective against hospitalization or death from COVID-19 and serious side effects have been extremely uncommon,” Gracias said in the article. “We have also been able to look at the real-world performance of the vaccines over the last couple months in what has become one of the largest biological studies ever performed as we vaccinate hundreds of millions of people and we are seeing very, very few severe side effects in real time."
None of that is true. The reason they want a booster now is because of waning effectiveness. The vaccine also leaves a wake of side effects that are so bad they have a vaccine for the vaccine https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.13.452194v2
Israel had the most people vaccinated the earliest and their immunity is crashing
Also keep in mind the FDA's "approval" was not for the current Pfizer vaccine but for a future vaccine under a new name "Comirnaty" and made in conjunction with Germany's BioNTech. The BioNTech vaccine will not have the emergency legal shielding the Pfizer vaccine still has (its still considered "experimental)
Here are the two letters sent to BioNTech and Pfizer

Highly Vaccinated Israel Is Seeing A Dramatic Surge In New COVID Cases.

As it happens, the vaccines *do* work. The point isn't just to stop people from getting Covid, but also to make it less likely that they will. If thousands of people.
"Unvaccinated Israelis represent only about 20 percent of the population eligible for a vaccine, but they now constitute half of all serious COVID-19 cases in the country...As of August 21, the Health Ministry recorded 215.9 severe COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people among the unvaccinated over the age of 60, compared to 21 per 100,000 people among those who had received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. This makes unvaccinated older people more than 10 times as likely to experience a severe case as their immunized counterparts."
Israel also has a semi-unique case with a traditionally vaccine hesitant ultra-orthodox community that gathers in very high numbers and close quarters.
Also, no, it's not some "new" future vaccine.
FDA Approves First COVID-19 Vaccine
FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine, now marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.
"The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee), for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals."
The EUA refers to using the vaccine for 12-15 years, and as a booster shot. The standard usage of the 2 dose vaccine has been fully approved and is the same vaccine as it was three days ago.
As for "The vaccine also leaves a wake of side effects that are so bad they have a vaccine for the vaccine"
I read the non peer-reviewed study you linked and the citations within it. They refer specifically to adverse reactions to antibodies of Covid-19, not to anything that the vaccine uniquely causes. The purpose of their research appears to be to find ways to stop antibodies for the virus from causing problems. The vaccines cause an anti-body response, which is normal and desired. (And again, this research is not peer-reviewed.
"This is a preprint, a preliminary version of a manuscript that has not completed peer review at a journal. Research Square does not conduct peer review prior to posting preprints. The posting of a preprint on this server should not be interpreted as an endorsement of its validity or suitability for dissemination as established information or for guiding clinical practice.")
The BioNTech vaccine - Comirnaty - is the same as Pfizer but BioNTech is a German company. Their vaccine is not in large supply and not available in US. Its also limited to 16 years old and above. There is no legal immunity for Comirnaty.
The old drug that is still under experimental protections and can be used on 12 year olds.
Many parents will end-up having their under 16 year olds (deemed below the safe limit for Comirnaty) shot-up with a drug where the parents cant sue if their kid end-up seriously harmed. If a parent wants a kid injected, why would they pick an experimental drug with no legal recourse, and that's being given to kids younger than deemed safe by the fully approved drug?
Of course the rational choice would be to get the Comirnaty shot but people cant because is not available in US. So this is a game of three card monte where Pfizer still gets to dump its supplies of protected vaccine - and on 12-15 year olds - all while parents think its approved for their young kids.
As for vaccine for the vaccine, Ill get back to that later so I dont do a TLDR.
Ok, seriously, what are you even saying? That's gibberish. Pfizer is a U.S. company, and BioNTech is a german company, yes. They collaborated on the vaccine. (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/11/biontech-the-european-company-behind-pfizers-covid-19-vaccine.html) Their vaccine and Pfizer's vaccine are the same thing. Comirnaty is the name they've chosen to market it under. There is no "old drug" there is no "new drug". There is the one, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, which is now named Comirnaty.
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccines
Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent
"On August 23, 2021, the FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals."
And again, there is no such thing as a "vaccine for the vaccine." That literally makes no sense. The article, which again, is not peer reviewed, is meant to refer to a possible drug that could help with antibodies that cause effects, leading to things like "long covid."
"Therefore, the formulation has the potential to prevent and treat the serious conditions caused by pathogenic antibodies during a COVID-19 infection. In addition, the formulation has potential to prevent and treat the adverse reactions of COVID-19 vaccines because the vaccines can induce similar antibodies, including pathogenic antibodies."
