The big takeaway from Larry is:
a) elderly people with one or more comorbidities are a vulnerable population and will benefit the most from vaccination and additional booster shots
b) vaccine doses should be moved to developing countries with vulnerable populations that lack access to modern healthcare facilities
- "Brilliant said one group of people needs a booster shot “right away” — those who are 65 years and above, and were fully vaccinated more than six months ago but have a weakened immune system."
- "So those people, I would say, should be given a third dose, a booster right away — as quickly as moving the vaccines to those countries that haven’t had a very high chance to buy them or have access to them. I consider those two things about equal"
Whether we're near the end of the pandemic or not is just semantics and drawing a line in the sand right now is useless.
