I would argue not in the larger sense. Whatever's supporting that should be readdressed to those in need of basic health care, across the world. A bunch of the hero procedures should simply be dumped.

i'm a couple weeks away from the 6 month pfizer mark. thinking if boosters are around i'll get one. i'm not one to jump lines, but there doesn't seem to be a shortage of supply in my area.
Moderna boosters are not yet available in Vermont. Governor Scott is incompetent.
Thing were pretty scarce around here, was planning to get my booster up near work where things were a different story but there was a booster only clinic that popped up in downtown Seattle over the weekend. Even had free parking which was nice considering there are only about 5 street parking spots in all of downtown anymore.
Yeah, J&J with a Moderna booster. Felt kind of icky after the first shot. So far the booster has only produced a really sore shoulder.
Supposedly a different flavor booster works better and Moderna produces twice the antibody response than pfizer with an original J&J shot.
It seems like the magic of the Moderna shot really comes from it's higher dosage, so even with the Moderna booster running at a half dose, it has more magic inside than the pfizer shot.
Wondering if I should go for the Moderna booster to my Pfizer first dose.
Most of my colleagues that got Moderna booster shots for their J+J shot had pretty bad side effects, 1-2 days fever, muscle and joint pain, headaches. Also for 2x Moderna more often than not people here had side effects.
Moderna boosters were made available last week while I was backpacking. Going to schedule one for my Mom and hopefully the VA will wrangle the old man for another jab. Then I can get stuck again. Did I mention that I fucking hate needles ? But I hate those who won’t put their big boy pants on and get vaccinated even moar !
Standard Moderna shot is 100mg I beleive, booster is only 50 where as each pfizer shot is only 30. I suppose there could be some causation between both its increased effectiveness and side effects. Had this been a normal development cycle I think we would have seen rather different dosing regimens for all of these vaccines. Where as safety was still a primary concern dosing was not optimized and there was a rush to just get something that works on the market.
So, should I get a different booster if I got two doses of Moderna? I haven’t been keeping up.
I'm going to get a Moderna booster if it's available (initial 2 doses were Moderna) - the only info I've seen showed minimal efficacy differences between the Pfizer and Moderna boosters if you started with Moderna.
All you guys talking about gettin this here vaccine. That vaccine is killing people. Be careful taking that stuff.
Mix and match vaccines seems like the move, which sucks because I've been talking all kinds of shit to anybody who got Moderna or J&J, no I mite have to get a Moderna booster? Disgusting.
Heard it's killed more people than Covid has, no really, somebody told me that with a straight face. Tried the 'ol logic on them, I know virtually nobody who doesn't at least know of somebody who died from Covid, I know zero people who have died after taking the vax, didn't work.

I can think of something else that's killing people worse
Someone said that to me today with a straight face and then started shaking their head.
For boosters:
Moderna by a hair over BioNTech/Pfizer. Don’t boost with J and J: besides the limited efficacy also possible risk of sensitizing to the adenovirus vector itself.
/me had 3 shots of BNT and is ok with those data. Also note that the non-immunocompromised Moderna boosters will be a lower dose than the initial ones.

So I should just stick with Moderna, or try a mix-n-match?
I would have stuck my tongue out and said 'gonna lick yoo wif fyzer spit!!!' and chased them at least 3 blocks

Strategies to overcome host immunity to adenovirus vectors in vaccine development
The first clinical evaluations of adenovirus (Ad)-based vectors for gene therapy were initiated in the mid-1990s and led to great anticipation for future utility. However, excitement surrounding gene therapy, particularly Ad-based therapy, was diminished ...

I'd stick with Moderna in your shoes.
Sorry, I meant has this been shown with the J&J specifically? Or you just saying it's more likely with a non mRNA version?It's a thing.
