Swalwell blamed 'Republican liars' for the consequences of the 'prolonged' COVID-19 pandemic.
The deleted tweet from the GOP committee members asked,"If the booster shots work, why don't they work?" Although the basis for the Republicans questioning the efficacy of the boosters was not entirely clear, the claim that they do not work appeared to be a comment on a premise that is unsupported by facts.
No serious medical experts have claimed that COVID-19 vaccines or booster shots are 100 percent effective in stopping transmission of the virus. Instead, experts have argued that the shots are effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and reducing the severity of illness in those who get it—claims that have been backed up by research.
Booster shots have been recommended because the efficacy of the vaccines wane over time and because research has shown that variants like Omicron and Delta have partial, but not complete, resistance to the vaccines. The boosters are especially important to help reduce the quick spread of the Omicron variant, which is more resistant than previous strains of the virus.
