      Bc immunocompetent essential workers who were vaxxed in January are getting Delta and bringing it home and infecting their children, which makes them quar/miss work. When this happens to essential workers in waves it causes staffing problems in the health & public safety sectors.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1428108399707836416 …

      I don't know what was meant either, but the booster plan as presented today, had it been under Trump, would have caused a huge and well-deserved outcry. US is going to offer a third Moderna shot in September to a healthy, immunocompetent 18-year old why?

      Do we have any data either on that claim or boosters would help? I haven’t seen any. If we’re going data free and speculating, 5-12 EUA is a much better bet.

          honestly 5-12 EUA should come before ALL boosters and the fact that we aren't doing that is crazy. Pfizer has the safety data & that should be good enough we know that the immunoresponse it gives is adequate

          Medically (I hate playing this card) I must remind you that the myocarditis risk and anaphylaxis risk for 5-12 year-olds could be far greater than COVID risk for this population. the dosing must be reduced and we need to see if the reduced dose is effective.

          Data on boosters: do you mean besides the data from Pfizer/Moderna, or the Israeli data? Re breakthroughs in essential workers, systematic refusal to collect data doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I’d rather the CDC have collected it, but what do we do now that we didn’t?
