2日で倍とか言われていたからなああ・・・当たっていたわけだけど・・・このペースでUターン地点にいくまで・・・・憂鬱だなあ

Too Much Focus on Boosters, Says FDA Vaccine Advisor https://t.co/tsLHmPJkR9

. Does it really make sense to focus on further protecting people who are already protected against serious illness? Or should we really devote our resources to protecting those who are completely unprotected?

The question is, what do we want from this vaccine? If what we want from this vaccine is protection against serious illness, the current two-dose vaccine strategy for mRNA vaccines, or the two-dose strategy for the J&J [Johnson & Johnson] vaccine, offers protection against serious illness, right up to the present time for all age groups. So if that's the goal, we've reached it. If, on the other hand, the goal is to try and also protect against mild illness, which will fade over time, then you can argue for giving a booster dose, realizing that the protection against mild illness that you're getting from that booster dose will probably last for about 3 to 4 months.

重症化予防でいいなら2回接種で十分。追加接種すれば軽症予防になるかもしれないがそれは3,4ヶ月しか続かない。子どもたちは未接種のために入院している。追加接種急ぐより、未接種の人たちに接種したほうがいいのではないか、という問題意識だろう。
