boosters really have not been out that long so maybe more time needs to pass to render an opinion
Yes, that could be the case-- which would mean there's not enough data so there's no scientific basis for any policy
requiring a 3rd shot, at this time.
Doing so on a voluntary basis, as long as you've discussed it with your doc, should be fine. But I'm already seeing public policy documents here in Austin referring to everyone with 2 shots as "partially vaxed." There is no scientific basis for this designation.
I went for the booster because hell, why not?
I generally had an easier time than the 2nd shot, when I had 4 hours of fever hell. In this case I had a day of malaise and some light chills, but nothing bad. My wife caught it bad from the booster though, felt nauseous and had a 102 fever at one point, and basically felt like utter crap for about a day and a half.
She says that if Newsom demands a 4th shot for medical workers, then her office is more than free to fire her, because she's not doing it again. I don't blame her.
Sure, I'm not opposed to a booster, either. My 6 months were up at the end of November and my holidays were jam-packed from Thanksgiving through new year's, so I didn't really start looking until we got back from vacation on 1/3. And at this point, I can't find a site that will schedule a booster within 25 miles of my house, within the next 3 weeks. So I'll wait. It's no big deal, I'm not worried one way or the other about it.
But in the meantime, the city has decided that I am now "partially vaxed" and according to Stage 5, I'm not allowed to dine-in at restaurants or do all sorts of other things. Now, obviously, there's no way to enforce this. But it's just another case of bad public policy that is non science-based. And the really frustrating part, is those in charge, are citing "the science" as the reasons for their bad policy, despite the fact that they're ignoring the actual science.
