I think they\u2019re going to change the definition\u201d of fully vaccinated to include a booster shot, Makary told The Daily Wire. \u201cNow, for a senior person, that may make sense [for] someone over 65 if you have not had COVID in the past. That is, people over 65, if they\u2019ve not had COVID, I do recommend they get a third dose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for younger folks, there\u2019s no evidence to support getting a booster dose,\u201d Makary said.<\/p>\n<p>The surgeon said that for middle-aged Americans who received the J&amp;J one-shot vaccine, another dose is likely needed if someone has not yet had COVID-19 and gained natural immunity. For the young, however, \u201cthere\u2019s absolutely no evidence\u201d supporting getting a booster shot, Makary said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy fear is that pharma may be calling the shots right now, not the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention],\u201d Makary said. \u201cThey\u2019ve not only convinced the CDC to make a vigorous recommendation for every 16 and 17-year-old to get boosted, but colleges are now drawing up plans to require a booster among students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing is more insane and anti-science than requiring young, low-risk, healthy students who had COVID already to get a booster shot, and there will be unintended harm from that indiscriminate booster recommendation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Makary\u2019s belief that the government will eventually push a more stringent definition of \u201cfully vaccinated\u201d was essentially confirmed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House\u2019s chief medical adviser, earlier this month. In an appearance on CNN, Fauci said \u201cit\u2019s going to be a matter of when, not if\u201d the CDC changes its definition.<\/p>\n<p>Some pharmaceutical executives are still pushing additional vaccinations in the wake of new variants of COVID-19. On December 8, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said that Americans may need a fourth COVID-19 shot, or a second booster shot, to protect themselves against the omicron variant of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith omicron we need to wait and see because we have very little information.
