an 18 yo won’t be eligible for a shot in September bc teens weren’t getting shots in January on the broader booster q, I’m flummoxed by the lack of data but tipping toward concern for early-vax’d seniors Still, the “all Americans” booster rule caught me by great surprise

Those in healthcare will be. But it also doesn't make sense for 30-year-old people. Immunocompromised, elderly, J&J recipients (who are still ignored), high-risk, fine. This is "something must be done" stage of pandemic policy.

We’re in strong agreement on the weirdness of non-senior immunocompetent boosters. I haven’t seen any good cost-benefit case for them. Above I’m mostly reacting to the inference that rather than focus on vaccines we should just close all indoor restaurants indefinitely.

Yeah, that's neither here or there. I couldn't make sense of that part.

Today's MMWR. Lower efficacy against infection (which is real) almost entirely driven by the young. (How many are J&J only? Dunno). Definitely more illnesses, we see it around us. But no lowering of efficacy from 95% for hospitalization in any age group. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e1.htm?s_cid=mm7034e1_w …pic.twitter.com/ncXkdjtRKl

I think Delta is terrible, likely more severe, clearly very very transmissible. Where did we get from that to boosters for all this Fall by press release?
