5 reasons why FDA advisers did not recommend Covid-19 booster shots for everyone | CNN

FDA vaccine advisers declined Friday to recommend the agency approve booster doses for everyone who got vaccinated six months ago or longer.

The agenda for the meeting included short presentations in the morning and allowed plenty of time in the afternoon for Q&A and discussion. Very different meeting than one considering approval based on a clinical trial program. The Professor of
of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology from the UK had 20 minutes to provide an overview of "Real-world effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines."

I was talking about the use of N-95 by the poster during the the pandemic including early on, I don’t know why excuses are trying to be made, but I have guys in construction unable to use N-95 masks, also , do you see the the president using an N-95 mask? Ted Olson is 81 he can afford anything he wants be he refuses to buy N-95 masks because he knows they are for health care workers , we spoke about it and he ask’s who on here can show where it says for the public to use N-95 masks?, I find it strange people can find all sorts of info and stats, but they take a blind eye to the info I posted about the masks, come on let’s take this pandemic seriously and show that skiers care about the poor health care workers

Apparently I misunderstood the remarks about the president in this post. My bad. I apologize to @XTski for taking his comments out of context. I’ll give myself a timeout.

Apparently I misunderstood

I don't understand a lot of what he posts. I read each post twice. It's not enough.

I do use an N95. I believe it's the best protection. You don't know who is vaxxed or infected.

If I believed there was a shortage, I wouldn't do it.

I found n-95s at the beginning of the pandemic in a kit that was put together back when SARS raised awareness. I had my dad wear them as well as myself even before fearless leaders said they worked. I mean I'm not a genius but I don't think it takes one to figure out the protection.
My sister is in charge of thousands of nurses and said I should bring them down to Albany med. I laughed at her.
Now there is no shortage I don't see any reason why anyone would feel guilty about wearing them.

When did she say this?

I googled it. It was not one of the top suggested searches:

When I completed the search, the top result was an article about a glut of N95s:

Early on during the pandemic the N95 was hard to come by even for those who worked in hospitals.

I bought my first N95 in the fall of that year and kept it for 3 months. Here is my first N95, I wore it at opening day at Whiteface:

Now I keep them until they are dirty. A lot less than three months.
