It\u2019s almost a psychological or sociological question,\u201d he said before questioning individuals who have made the choice to skip the booster shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would people who had enough understanding of the risk to go ahead and get the primary series \u2014 why we don\u2019t have more getting the booster,\u201d he asked. \u201cI don\u2019t have an easy explanation for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s one of the reasons why we keep trying to put the data out. Because, as Dr. Walensky showed in her slide, the data are really stunningly obvious why a booster is really very important,\u201d he said before attempting to sell boosters yet again:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You first need to get vaccinated before you get boosted, that\u2019s for sure.&nbsp; But when you look at the difference of how a booster, for everything you ask it to do \u2014 to reconstitute, from an immunological and from a clinical standpoint, the diminished protection that you get not only with waning naturally of immunity, but also the negative impact on some of the variants that elude the immune response \u2014 fortunately for us, when you boost with the standard vaccine, which is against the original viral sequence, that you get such a good response.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo, the only thing that we can do is to continue to come out with the data and to make sure the American public appreciates why it is so important for optimal protection to get boosted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The federal health official failed to address the broken promises made, as they initially pitched the vaccines to Americans as a way to return to a state of pre-pandemic normalcy. That, however, did not happen, as some states and localities reinstituted mask mandates when cases spiked, even among fully vaccinated individuals. To this day, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/prevent-getting-sick\/masks.html\">advises<\/a> fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks when they are in areas with \u201csubstantial or high transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19199210\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2021\/12\/Omicron-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19199210\" src=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2021\/12\/Omicron-1.jpg\" alt=\"FILE \u2014 Stephane Labossiere, right, with the Mayor&#039;s Office of Immigrant Affairs, hands out masks and printed information about free COVID-19 testing in Brooklyn, being offered by NYC Health + Hospitals, on July 8, 2020, in New York.
