Wow, Dr. Scott Roberts from Yale is demoralized? What the phuck is wrong with this supposed highly educated and credentialed medical specialist that he is still shilling for Big Pharma? Rhetorical question.

Just 1.5% Of Eligible People Have Gotten Updated COVID Booster

Only 1.5% of those eligible to receive the new Covid booster jab - which was tested on just 8 mice, not humans, before the FDA approved it - have taken the updated shot, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Approximately 4.4 million people have taken the tweaked booster shot from Pfizer and Moderna after they were rolled out three weeks ago around Labor Day weekend. The bivalent shots were designed to target both the original Covid-19 strain, and the currently circulating Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, NBC News reports.
"I would expect a much higher proportion of Americans to have gotten the booster by this point," said Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Scott Roberts, who said the relatively low uptake was "demoralizing."[/b]
"The fact that this booster came out days before Biden said the pandemic is over is a huge mixed message," said Roberts, who added that a lack of public awareness surrounding the shots - or the 'prevailing narrative that the pandemic is ending' might have hindered the rollout. "Now it’s going to be that much harder to convince those at risk who are on the fence to get a booster."
