So now that the FDA has recommended a booster for healthcare workers, who’s going to get it, who’s waiting for the CDC vote this week, and who’s just waiting?

People's continued negligence with the disease is completely mind blowing. Our clinic office manager appeared sick Tuesday when walking into my office. Of course mask down until they walked in then put it up. Right away I thought COVID. Wednesday I get an email saying they are working remotely and tested positive for COVID. Turns out their spouse was at home sick with COVID and they were actively working in the clinic, intermittent masking, and informed nobody. At the very least mask 100% and honestly stay in your office and try to avoid other people. Seems even medical people fall victim to denial when they get sick.

Funny because my motivation for seeking out Moderna back when it looked like it was equivalent to Pfizer was to avoid the strict refrigeration requirement which I suspected would be royally screwed up somewhere along the chain.

Does the vaccine target anything that is changing? My impression is that the different strains still all have the same common component proteins that the vaccine is effective against. So a new vaccine is not needed. Someone please correct me if I am thinking about this wrong.

Maybe it would have been nice to have a randomized trial of booster for the original 2 dose Pfizer with either a 3rd dose of Pfizer or switching to Moderna for the 3rd dose. I bet Pfizer would not have liked that in case the its booster showed inferior results.
Call me a cynic but I am losing confidence in the Pfizer's vaccine, which initially promised high effectiveness but it fell off the cliff rapidly. As I had stated earlier I changed horses and took Moderna as my 3rd dose after getting 2 doses of Pfizer in Dec 2020/Jan 2021.

I keep seeing really sick (not hospitalized, but really sick) 40 somethings with Pfizer breakthroughs.

I got a Moderna booster and am contemplating finishing the Moderna series.

She tested positive for COVID the next day.
Can you really not be criminally liable for this? You don't get a pass for swerving all over the road just because you didn't hit anyone (and I don't even have confirmation she "didn't hit anyone").
