This PSA discusses how Covid produces variants. And that Delta is more contagious. It also reports on Pfizer making a booster shot and developing a new vaccine that specifically targets Delta. And yet it concludes that experts agree that a booster, and presumably the Delta vaccine, are not necessary at this time.
Something just doesn't smell right with this media campaign to give assurances to the public so that we continue on the path of irresponsible behavior for the sake of a good economy. Is Pfizer just doing this to make more money? Or do they have some evidence that indeed we need to take more precautions given other countries' experience with Delta and the WHO guidance based thereon?
Time will tell. And unfortunately at the expense of public health and lives. But hey, we have to expect some collateral damage for the economy, right? We have to determine just how many lives to sacrifice for the greater good, eh? Problem is, what is the greater good and for whom?
