>It is not obvious we need booster vaccinations. Of course, but to be fair, I don't expect any EU government to publicly acknowledge that we need a third dose when many EU countries are still struggling to get two doses to everyone, let alone a third. Like how at the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020 the governments said that masks are not useful at protecting against the virus in order to prevent the general population from scalping and hoarding masks that were needed for medical personnel instead, and later did a 180 on that decision, making masks mandatory when mask production supplies caught up with the demand. Such decisions are not 100% driven purely by medicine/science but also economics/politics.
