This is not settled science There is genuine uncertainty to repeating boosters in children, the one group where there is a real harm signal (myocarditis in boys) 1st time series in 6 month+ is different and should be approved unless there is a safety signal there too

Read this whole thread Master class by Todd C. Lee Ignoring this is anti science & anti-liberalism We are now largely right sized but legacy media & "experts" think it's the dark ages wrt this vax

I once asked a similar question of a D&I scientist in a seminar of any examples of D&I projects that scaled & were sustainable in a different site beyond the one where the research was done No examples were given Curious what this crowdsourcing will yield

even if they answer you still might politely decline to follow the recs! clinical specialization doesn't confer evidence appraisal specialization plus I know patient context better to prioritize for topics I know & can appraise I greatly value consultant's experiences & pearls
