Given what is generally known about vaccination, it was not bold. It was judicious.
However, given the hysteria of what passes for news outlets and social media, it was quite bold. People were convinced that the 2 week interval initially specified for Pfizer vax was bedrock truth. Any departing from that ONE TRUE WAY could only be bad. In such a political climate, actually following the known science was difficult.
Giving 1 shot to everyone and spreading out the shots to a more normal interval allowed a lot more people to get immunity. Gettin the 2nd shot at a longer interval allowed those people to get a better long term immunity.
Tbis is not an earth shaking discovery. If it worked differently than this, people would be asking why is this vax different?
