So lying about your medical condition in order to get a third dose which you criticize the Feds for is fine by you? Your blatant hypocrisy on display to everybody now.old salt wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 10:44 pm Booster ? Fauci, then Biden, says we need one.

Ready, fire. aim. Hesitate-rs & deniers say -- huh ? making it harder to get the holdouts to get their first shot.
You can self-attest that you qualify now for the booster, so I got my Moderna #3 today (5 mos & 3 wks after #2), before the guidance on Moderna booster changes.
No side effects. Got this year's flu shot in the other arm. I did a walk-in shortly before closing, & verified they wouldn't have to open a new vial for me. This Walgreens is going Pfizer only when their current stock of Moderna is used up or expires. Since so many doses are expiring before used, I figured I'd use one before it goes to waste.
How do you know I don't qualify ? You are assuming, making an ass out of U.

It's indeed 'messed up'...my 84 year old mom who had a very bad scare with pneumonia a couple of years ago (lost cognitive functions for over a month, cascading symptoms) apparently doesn't technically qualify yet. She's at over 6 months...sure would like to get her done soon, but she says she doesn't qualify until November...also Moderna.old salt wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 7:49 amHow do you know I don't qualify ?

You're continuing to look like the a-hole here(but what else is new?). You just stated you don't have to supply proof of qualification to get a third dose.

I did not see a 6 month limit on the consent sheet I filled out. The last category on the sheet was not very specific. I had not seen it in any online sources. If you're near a Walgreens that administers Miderna, stop in & look at the sheet. I bet she'd qualify.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:22 amIt's indeed 'messed up'...my 84 year old mom who had a very bad scare with pneumonia a couple of years ago (lost cognitive functions for over a month, cascading symptoms) apparently doesn't technically qualify yet.

I think there's enormous pressure (within the public health community) to not use doses that could go to other countries, and also to not boost until it's actually most efficient to do so...and they're trying to figure out exactly when that will be.
I don't think, however, that there's much, if any, dispute that boosters will actually be needed (which is what Fauci and Biden have said out loud to the public)...more a matter of when and exactly what the booster should have than the yes/no answer.

Your experience is exactly the problem - effectively anybody can get a 3rd booster now.
That's what I thought until I saw Dr Scott Gottleib on msnbc. He says supply is now outstripping the ability to distribute & inoculate, the US has already purchased enough for the entire US population & global supply is on track to produce 15 billion doses for a 5 billion global population.I think there's enormous pressure (within the public health community) to not use doses that could go to other countries, and also to not boost until it's actually most efficient to do so...and they're trying to figure out exactly when that will be.
spare me. I am a senior and got my vax when eligible. Your example is merely a rationalization why you took a booster well in advance of when any data currently suggests it might be needed. Rationalizing that expiration is a good reason to take and get paid (for the pharmacy) after less than 6 months without a a qualifying medical condition is a red herring IMHOold salt wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:50 amOK vaccine vigilante.

... you are such a judgmental fool. I had not planned on getting the booster yet. I finally convinced a dog park friend who was afraid to take the 1st shot.

May not need ? Listen to what Fauci & other tv docs say about the # of breakthrough cases of delta & the declining effectiveness with time. That's why Fauci, other tv docs & my Governor are pushing to approve the boosters. Would they give an EUA for a booster to the most vulnerable if it were not safe ? The longer they delay approval of a Moderna booster, over a CDC/FDA turf battle, the more Moderna doses will expire & go unused.

Ready, fire. aim. Hesitate-rs & deniers say -- huh ? making it harder to get the holdouts to get their first shot.
You can self-attest that you qualify now for the booster, so I got my Moderna #3 today (5 mos & 3 wks after #2), before the guidance on Moderna booster changes.
No side effects. Got this year's flu shot in the other arm. I did a walk-in shortly before closing, & verified they wouldn't have to open a new vial for me. This Walgreens is going Pfizer only when their current stock of Moderna is used up or expires. Since so many doses are expiring before used, I figured I'd use one before it goes to waste.
I went with Fauci's advice & got a booster before the CDC/FDA turf war removes the opportunity for a Moderna booster.
Of course, you are also ASSuming that FDA is going to go along with Biden administration which is certainly not a done deal. Two senior FDA scientists just resigned over this.
I was completely honest with the pharmacist & followed his advice.
Your experience is exactly the problem - effectively anybody can get a 3rd booster now.
Perhaps the does you took could have been administered to someone needing a first or second dose who is currently legitimately eligible?

Fauci as recently in mid-July.

I have not seen ANY public credible data that indicates that breakthrough infections are increasing among those vaccinated early which would be the data needed to recommend a booster.
Additionally WSJ reports today Moderna wants to do a smaller 50cc dose to reach more people and have fewer side effects. FDA wants 100cc to reduce confusion from changing dosages and avoid wastage from discarding unused doses in a vial.
So they cannot even agree what the booster dose is or should be at this point. Why roll the dice unless you are actually immuno-compromised currently?
