      I don't buy it. Many experts may have been hesitant last July — I was. But well before omicron arrived, sufficient evidence was in place to support boosters for all adults (possibly excepting males <29 yrs) and this was pretty broadly accepted by experts. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/health/covid-omicron-vaccines.html?smid=tw-share …pic.twitter.com/nBPQtxk8kI

      Is argument against boosters not mostly that the majority of the world has not yet gotten the first two shots?

      It’s true that the supply priority is places with outbreaks, and where people have not had shots. But it’s also true that these don’t even appear to be boosters: these vaccines, like many others, seem to work best as three short series. And this has been clear for a while.

          Can you elaborate on what you mean by “three short series”? Do you implying that the third dose to be given soon after the second, rather than wait 6 months?

          The third dose 6 ish months after the 2nd. Is this some sort of gotcha?

          The @DrPaulOffit argument is inconsistent. Why not one dose? Why not half? Why not 30mcg Moderna? Etc… 2 doses wasn’t a god given standard; it came from NAb data. Similarly, current NAb data is dispositive about waning and third doses. Stop Trojan horsing equity!

          Glad you’ve changed your position with more evidence. If I recall, you have said the US could have saved 100m people by saving 200m doses of boosters. I thought it’s strange that you seemed to assume every single person who has received the vaccine would otherwise be dead.
