Dear FDA Advisory Ctte:

As you consider boosters for older Americans, ask yourselves *why*.

Is it to:
1. Slow transmission,
2. Boost long-term (waning?) immunity, or
3. Give short-term protection?

1. Will be a small effect
2. Has no data
3. May be the wrong time.

First, do no harm.
Facts over fear.
Resources over restrictions.
Informed consent over mandates.
Freedoms over tyranny.
Humanity above all.

For me, a key question is the percentage of kids who experience longCovid and suffer grey matter brain 🧠 degeneration and neurocognitive impairment and decline as seen in adults. Is it extremely rare, common? How do we follow these kids and monitor? What’s the national plan?
