Vaccine experts: Covid-19 booster shots aren't needed now
The whole booster conversation seems like a political game.If you have a vaccine, then your risk of death is far below that of the flu (statistically).If you don't have a vaccine by now, you want covid instead and this booster conversation is irrelevant.Kids are banned from taking anything.So I expect booster or no booster, frankly it just won't matter much at the population scale.I also don't understand the mask/booster thing now.Is it to protect kids? If so, then all that effort is better directed at the FDA who has banned them from getting the vaccine. I think this is the area where people should have the most anger and Biden should frankly push legislation to replace or reform the FDA. Their behavior has been atrocious.Is it to protect the unvaccinated? COVID is not going away, so IMO here we just want everyone in this population to get the disease as fast as possible to get it over with. Spreading is basically "good" for this group.Is it to protect the vaccinated? This makes no sense, as the risk to the vaccinated well below the range we have accepted for decades.
