WHO Chief Says COVID Booster Programs Could Prolong Pandemic

Legal Insurrection: After Biden gave his “winter of disease and death” speech, directed at those unvaccinated against COVID infection and many more unwilling to live under enduring pandemic restrictions, World Health Organization (WHO) officials criticized blanket Covid-19 vaccine booster programs, warning such programs could prolong the pandemic.

“Blanket booster programs are likely to prolong the pandemic, rather than ending it, by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a news briefing.

The comments from the WHO come as health officials in the U.S. promote vaccine booster shots for all residents over the age of 16 amid a surge in Covid cases driven by the omicron strain. Israel on Tuesday announced it would offer a fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccines to people older than 60.

Unfortunately, the rationale behind the WHO statements seem to be more equity than science based.
