The thing with boosters is that we know antibodies wane over time, but we don't know if that means protection is waning. People so routinely tested low for Hep B antibodies only to be fine upon exposure that the CDC doesn't even endorse checking antibodies in most circumstances. Their advice is to give the 3 shots and consider the person immune. Otherwise, you get stuck in an endless loop of boosting and testing low and boosting again and testing low again, etc.

So, low antibodies don't necessarily mean low protection, and we don't know how much the booster will raise antibodies or for how long.

Millions of dollars on an extra dose that is very possibly window dressing, seems wasteful to mean in an environment where that money could prevent COVID by supplying Americans with masks, home-tests, ventilation improvements, and renters relief or by supplying other countries with those doses.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yeah, let's spend more money on masks. Jesus Christ. I can't walk down the street without seeing discarded masks everywhere.

Feel free to allocate money into those other options if the word mask triggers you, snowflake.

My point stands. If you want more masks send a barge out to the ocean. Free!
