“It has always been apparent to anyone vaguely connected with vaccines that boosters would likely be required at some point, and I think your “only recently” is just is disingenuous ”
Then why is this a surprise to so many?
It’s one thing for those “in the know” to know, but why not be more vocal in explaining it to everyone? Similarly, why promote the vaccines as the silver bullet that will rid us of covid and help protect each other? It has been known since last year that the vaccines’ ability to prevent transmission is sketchy at best, yet this is how it has been sold to us, allowing many people to believe they no longer need to wear masks in confined spaces. This perhaps explains why covid cases are rocketing, yet related deaths are near record low levels. The vaccine does not prevent hosting or re-infection. It simply makes any symptoms less serious. Why then is it necessary to force members of the medical professions to get vaccinated when wearing a mask is more effective?
It smacks of clutching at straws…
And ethically, as TJ said, is extremely dubious!
