Today the United States will officially begin its Covid vaccine booster shot campaign, though many Americans still refuse to be vaccinated.
Nevertheless, those aged 65 and older, those considered vulnerable to underlying conditions, and others dependent on where they live and work – are now eligible to receive a third shot of the Pfizer brand vaccine.
Many who were eagerly awaiting to a get booster are already lining up.
The Associated Press cites a Jen Peck (52) of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, whose occupation is in the educational sector, was awaiting another shot. She was inoculated a third time this morning.
I don’t want to be COVID Mary carrying it around to buildings full of unvaccinated kiddos. I could not live with myself if I carried it from one building to another. That haunts me, the thought of that.
President Biden is urging those eligible to go out and get the shot. He says he’ll be getting his soon.
You’re in good shape and we’re doing everything we can to keep it that way, which is where the booster comes in.
What is interesting to note, however, is that even though the CDC panel voted 9-6 to not authorize the use of booster shots for those considered at increased risk of illness, not infection, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky overrode the vote and authorized the recommendation of the boosters for that huge group regardless.
This was scientific close call. In that situation it was my call to make.
As CDC Director, it is my job to recognize where our actions can have the greatest impact. At [the] CDC, we are tasked with analyzing complex, often imperfect data to make concrete recommendations that optimize health. In a pandemic, even with uncertainty, we must take actions that we anticipate will do the greatest good.
Walensky said

If you thought the death count for those death shots were already ridiculous and off the charts, just wait and see what’ll happen now that we are in Autumn. Of course, once the hospitals become jam-packed again with woefully sick patients, the media will start going off about more variants, coupled with the tightest mandates yet I presume.
Moreover, Pfizer – and the others eventually – will be making a killing.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
