Are we jumping the gun on Covid Booster?
Efficacy, Safety, and Ethical questions linger.

The author must be a republican, and he must be one of the republicans
who have a more moronic idea than his fellows in the same party? He's out of his mind.
When a pandemic is whipping through like a hurricane in our society
and fatalities run thousands each day,
should we worry about the efficacy, safety, or ethical questions??
Do we wait 2-3 years until we get the solid statistics before considering booster shots?
How many casualties do we need in the meantime?
I wish he and his families are the ones who die first before anyone else by Covid-19.
When we definitely know that the vaccination has been proven to work,
why do we hesitate to give booster or second booster shots?
Do we have to wait for plenty of people to die in order to collect better statistics?
Please remember that we still take booster shots for tetanus even at my age.
Remember we still take influenza shots every year!
What is the idiot talking about in the very case of the deadly Covid-19??

Yep, yep, yep, Steve!
You talk like a typical 'surgeon', doc, who has to make the timely decision with no mumbo jumbo and no waste to think twice! Indeed you reminds me of such famous joke of duck hunting by the group of physicians including the pathologists! Since we all know this famous joke, I am not waste your time but the surgeons in old days, no longer in these days, were always trained first how to make so called (timely) 'surgical decision' with no waste of crucial time for the life or death. But, believe me, not all, especially many internists - it is not my opinion but I quote!!!- are able to make such crucial timely decision till they 'drop dead' they say!
That's the difference, doc!!!

I have to add a few more words!
I spent my whole career to make the surgeons! Indeed, no matter how stupid they are to start with, we always brag that we could make a good 'general' surgeon at least in the average level through the 'training'. Unless they are real stupid, we were able to teach how to make a surgical decision property. To become a vascular surgeon we feel a bit more, to need the 'talent' of surgical skills and further to become a transplant surgeon in old days we know they have to be 'crazy' to drive the colleagues like slaves. Anyhow, some of them are indeed hopelessly stupid- we call a born idiot- so that they simply couldn't make the decision, period! I was so amazed! They simply failed to learn how to make the decision!!!!
Yes, there are so many idiots than you think like the majority of GOP Trampists! They even do not have a common sense, doc!

What this professor is saying seems to make sense,
especially for young people under age 65 and
perhaps more so for the younger including college students
and high school students.
For those of us over 80 booster shots would be godsends, I feel.
