FDA authorizes fourth Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccine doses for people age 50 and older (cnbc.com)

I thought the vacs had not protection against omicron so why would anyone get another shot until they offer a vac against the current virus out there

omicron already is less dangerous 

unless another strain comes along this is over

I hope so, it's still making people sick in pretty substantial numbers.

so are you gonna get boosters every 6 months for the rest of your life

I doubt it until another strain shows itself herd immunity has kicked in 

Im not sure this will even be seasonal

what folks ought to do is get an antibody test to see if a 4th booster would actually help them

We usually can spot hard news, and then spin.  One can filter it out I think with relative ease, with some exceptions.  If your primary news source ignores a news item, of course you're SOL.

There was a recent story that Mueller had apparently said something that could confirm the Clinton campaign was in on the Trump - Russia thing.  The spin cycle on that was epic, it took 2-3 days for it to even get mentioned in some outlets, and then it was discussed with considerable spin.  Now, it's also true that the Trump Network was also spinning the story.  The actual hard quote from the Mueller thing was pretty vague, in my view.  But one can look at the actual verbatim from some source of said information and see if the spin is at all correct.

The story didn't have legs, perhaps because of Ukraine, I suppose in time it either will disappear into nothingness or get resurrected in some more tangible form.

I don't know, probably not every six months, maybe annually.  This is optional at this point, I'd rather have the personal option to choose another shot, or not.

I'm still trying to look into the data as it is reported and think about what I want from this.  I don't think I'll get shot 4 any time soon, maybe in 2-3-4 months.

My 14yo was eligible for her 3rd shot in early March.  I asked her doctor about it, and she said that she'd advise holding off, as Omicron was diminishing rapidly at that point.  She said to keep our eyes on the news and if the numbers start increasing again, then it would make sense to come in for her booster at that point.  Given the relative risk for children, I find that to be a reasonable approach.

For adults in high risk categories either by age or comorbidities, other approaches would be reasonable.

Omicron is gonna be gone in 4 months.
