Last month, for those of you keeping track, the Biden administration
announced a plan to give additional shots of COVID vaccine — so-called boosters — to millions of Americans. Didn’t see that coming. But the administration never explained why it was necessary or scientifically justifiable. They never bothered. Instead, with characteristic
aggression, they simply decreed it was going to happen. The new shots
would go out, they informed us, no later than this week, the week of
September 20, which is right now. That was the deadline.

The weird thing is, it turned out, no one had told the scientists about
this. Two leading vaccine experts at the FDA promptly resigned. Several
more announced they were thinking of quitting. Then Biden's "COVID
czar," a former Facebook board member with no medical background called
Jeff Zients, assured the country "no problem, none of this is cause for
alarm." People resigning in protest, no big deal.

The decision to give extra COVID shots, Zeints said, was "made by and
announced by the nation's leading public health officials."

Really? Which leading public health officials exactly? Well, Zients
didn't tell us. It’s clear something was going on here. Then last week,
the entire lie unraveled completely. A panel of the FDA's vaccine
experts — actual "leading public health officials" — blew up the whole
idea in a single afternoon. By a vote of 16 to 2 – not close at all —
they emphatically rejected Biden’s plan for more shots.

Cut!

But just for a minute. Because in Joe Biden’s America, there is no independence from politicians. Shortly after midnight on Thursday, the
college professor who Biden appointed to run the CDC, Rochelle
Wolensky, simply overruled the FDA panel. She didn't cite any
scientific basis for her overruling actual scientists. She just did it.
And she did it because she can do it, because she’s in power and you’re not.

You wouldn’t call that - however you might describe it - following the science.

I am a conservative and dedicated Fox News watcher, but after watching
Tucker Carlson spew last night I tried to find a way to let Fox know
what I think of him. Didn't succeed, so here I am. The truth about
boosters is NOT THAT THEY ARE HARMFUL (!), but that we can't be sure
how helpful they are. Data out of Israel and other sources indicates
that boosters are most helpful for Johnson recipients, a little less
for Pfizer, and a bit less for Moderna. So why do it? We do it for the
same reason that vaccines were rushed to the market in the first place
-- this disease is killing millions around the globe and a multi-year development cycle is out of the question. My wife and I are fully
vaccinated. She has already received a booster and I intend to get one
as soon as it is available.

How about you? Have you gotten even the first Vax??? Well, have you???

In the past, anti-vaxxers came from both the right and left (the worst
of all was RFK, Jr., claiming vaccines are the work of evil companies
who want to make money). But now, it seems the clear majority are from
the right (Carlson's become one because it's good for his ratings). What
I don't get is why? Trump pushed Operation Warp Speed. You would think
that would be enough to convince the MAGA crowd. But instead, based on
what Johnny argues, it seems the MAGA crowd thinks COVID was a
concoction to keep Trump from being reelected.

I share your inability to understand what motivates these people, but
I suspect it's largely a product of a blind and illogical assumption
that if the enemy is behind it, it must be wrong, and not just wrong,
downright evil -- perhaps bolstered by a fear of needles. That your
real problem Johnny? Afraid of the needle?
