I'm not replying to Mormad's post to call him out. Great dude and maybe an even better doc in his field of expertise. I found this and I want to call attention to his last pgh.....and the word '
programmed'. This is precisely how we had such a colossal failure with our medical field ...simply sucking up the CDC, NIH and Fauci lies........

Because it's free, easy to get, and it can only help you stay healthy. I doubt you'll find a doctor anywhere that doesn't recommend one, probably for those exact reasons. JMHO.

Not really. Could have a reaction. Blood clots, myocarditis, diabetes, etc.
There's no reason a healthy 28 year old should need a booster shot based on the stats. JMHO
I respectfully disagree. And I've made it clear I've been booster hesitant as a healthy 52 yo in a high exposure career. There are many reasons a healthy 28 yo should consider getting a booster, and those reasons vary for each and every individual. There are also reasons they should consider not getting the booster, some of which you listed. The ultimate decision is based on each individual's ability to assess those reasons and weigh them against each other and make the right personal decision for themselves, their loved ones, their careers, etc.
Obviously, the decision making may be easier for older, sicker individuals, but i think saying there's no need for the consideration of a booster in any individual either assumes or disregards way too much. Plus, the dude's asking for advice. Telling him there's no need with no more knowledge of him than his age and his feeling that he's "pretty healthy" with no knowledge of the truth of that statement is not advice with a strong basis in fact. If a physician offered such an opinion without further knowledge it could be considered reckless? I wouldn't trust that doc very much.
Anyway, that's how I'm programmed to look at it i think. Right or wrong . Just my two cents.
