President Joe Biden’s administration has admitted that there was no scientific evidence supporting an apparent recommendation to receive as many as six COVID-19 booster shots in a year.
Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Biden appointee, wrote in a social media post on Nov. 29, 2022, that people should get vaccinated “if it’s been over 2 months since your last dose.”
The Functional Government Initiative (FGI), a watchdog organization, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documents supporting the statements. The group sued after the administration did not comply with timelines laid out in the act.
FGI asked for, among other documents: “Any scientific support relied on by Secretary Becerra when approving or issuing the tweet recommending that all Americans receive a booster shot every two months” and “any study, synopsis, or similar statement or document of scientific, academic, or government research on whether a bi-monthly booster shot will effectively prevent the transmission or susceptibility to COVID-19 and known active variants as of November 2022.”
It also asked for internal communications regarding Mr. Becerra’s statements.
In a new response, the government said it had no evidence to support Mr. Becerra’s recommendation.
Even if half true Becerra just wants folks to have themselves stuck because "reasons".
Hell, Senator Durban has been stuck no end and has caught the covid three times.
Why the blue fuck anyone would trust .gov booster "recommendations" at this point is beyond me.
