      Agree. I was skeptical in summer—especially since the early data was so confounded. But since then, long before Omicron, we had high-quality data strongly suggesting this is a three-dose primary series. (Happens with many vaccines!). We must equitably vaccinate the world as such.https://twitter.com/priscillagilman/status/1466440935445782530 …

      I’m encouraged that you think we’ll have Omicron boosters in 2-3 months! In any case, as @zeynep @PeterHotez @EricTopol and others have been saying for a while now, this is turning out to be a 3 shot vaccine. Calling the third shot a booster was a mistake in retrospect

      Replying to @KasperKepp @WHO

      I am in complete agreement that supply should first go to at-risk individuals without even a single shot, followed by their second shot, etc. But they, too, eventually should get the third dose.

      Why then support boosters for all in the US now? These vaccines could go to countries that need them.

      Replying to @KasperKepp @WHO

      I am 100% for vaccines going to countries that need them, in an equitable manner, and antivirals going to where the outbreaks are, regardless of ability to pay. The separate question here is: is this a three-dose primary series vaccine. The answer seems pretty clear.

          Replying to @zeynep @WHO

          There is another major issue: whether we should give 3rd shot to low-risk individuals with the original variant booster moving into Spring-Summer season (lowest of all possible gain scenarios) vs focusing on 3rd world and instead going for omicron booster for Autumn/Winter 2022.

          I’m fine with this if those countries solve the distribution, storage, and hesitancy challenges. It would be amoral to ship a dose elsewhere only to have it thrown away, if it would otherwise go into an arm here.
