Doctors and nurses in the United States are divided about the need for COVID-19 boosters and about how the United States should prioritize its supply of vaccines, according to a Medscape poll of more than 1700 clinicians that collected responses from August 25 to September 6.

Overall, 71% of 575 US physicians who were polled said they thought the available evidence supports giving boosters to people who have already had two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines; 12% disagreed, and 17% said they were unsure. Of 1133 nurses surveyed, 66% said they thought evidence supports boosters, 15% disagreed, and 19% were unsure.

We'd see very tepid support for any of this if they didn't have their medical boards, CDC and FDA threatening to take away their licenses.

Even some of the developers are against it. Sarah Gilbert (on the team that developed the AZ version) has noted they are not needed for the majority of the population.

Yeah, when we saw the radiologist that may be using the cyberknife on my wife's brain tumor "suggested" not getting the booster until a decision for the best approach of dealing with it.

We see the neurosurgeon tomorrow and to get his opinion.

Yet in order to get any health care outside ER, both doses were required. Illogical!

They are really dragging this crap out. If we had not made "wife's age" an issue for all the delays we would not be seeing the neurosurgeon until the first of Nov.

(Be you own health advocate, because the system is not going to. We learned this back in 1991).

Bingo! Covid related or not.

Best of luck to your wife and you Kyle.
