The CDC director went against the recommendation of an advisory board in saying that workers who are at high risk of contracting COVID-19 should receive a booster shot.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky signed off on a conglomerate of recommendations from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices panel, made up of 15 members including pediatricians, infectious-disease doctors and other experts, saying that boosters should be offered to people over the age of 65 as well as those 50 to 64 years old with underlying medical conditions, the Wall Street Journal reports.
However, Walensky sided against the panel’s recommendation in saying that people ages 18 to 64 who work in healthcare or have another job that puts them at higher risk should receive booster shots.
“As CDC Director, it is my job to recognize where our actions can have the greatest impact,” Walensky said in a statement Thursday. “At CDC, we are tasked with analyzing complex, often imperfect data to make concrete recommendations that optimize health. In a pandemic, even with uncertainty, we must take actions that we anticipate will do the greatest good.”
Indeed, the panel was hesitant to support a broad recommendation for people, such as healthcare workers, because of their jobs, fearing it would allow pretty much anyone who wanted a booster to get one.
“It seems uncharacteristically openly ended for the lack of data of need in any of these groups,” Sarah Long, a professor of pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine, said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
