On Twitter, Eric Topol said that authorizing 2nd boosters for all would be "better than discarding doses."
I responded:
"Why is it better than discarding doses?
Sometimes when I've had a couple alcoholic beverages and I'm done drinking but there's still wine in my glass, I dump it in the sink. I don't think, 'Might as well use my body as a drain!' The harms of that would outweigh the benefits."
My daughter had to get boosted yesterday in order to attend Santa Clara University. She feels awful today. I’m beyond livid. I will never again get a flu vaccine etc because of how they have treated us during covid. I have ZERO faith in our government and it’s 100% their fault.
I think we also need to talk about boosters for people over 50 or 60 who are of normal weight and in good health. If the boosters are just more of the same (formulated for an outdated variant) and they aren't particularly effective in the Omicron era, why would they benefit someone over 50/60? I am 65 and in good health. I've had the vax and one booster. The CDC recommendation says, "If your last shot was at least 4 months ago, you need another booster..." I can't imagine getting a covid booster every 4 months for life. I'm not currently planning to get any more shots.
I have worked hard to ignore everything that Jerry Adams has said from the very beginning of the pandemic. He has consistently come across to me as a very wet-behind-the ears guy, no doubt a nice man who means well, but certainly without the tickets or training or experience to ever have been made Surgeon General of anything. Not the sharpest tool in the tool bag in my opinion, he certainly has zero credentials for opining authoritatively about any aspect of epdemiology even when wearing the Public Health dress uniform that made him look like some kind of decorated Portugese admiral.
I wonder how much of the vaccine/booster push is made because "leaders" want to appear to be doing something relatively easy (get a shot!) rather than other measures that might also reduce transmission or reduce severity: installing high-quality ventilations systems in buildings or air purifiers in classrooms; encouraging people to lose weight and take better care of their health in general.
These policies are probably also done to placate the minority (majority, depending on where you live or what social circles you travel in) that lives in irrational fear of the 'rona.
And the hunch that pharmaceutical companies simply want to unload excess vaxs makes sense too.
Only a ardent member of the 'vaccine' cult would take a 4th dose, at this point (IMO, of course!) They are killing off their most ardent supporters!
The really do think people are stupid, and they have a point. But they just won't give up, seems like this is going to backfire on them, but I guess it hasn't so far- and they still have the bought off media and governments (by the WEF/globalists) so they may figure, why not?

In addition, there are vast data which may not be mentioned in certain venues.
