It's not the same logic it all? It's not a huge leap to guess that we're about to have a measles or bird flu pandemic.
Did they recommend getting non-evidence-based repeat vaccinations? It just sounded like they recommended getting vaccinations that are not commonly given to US unless they're traveling.
"Vitamin C is good for you - TAKE ALL THE VITAMIN C!"
"Vaccines are good for you - COLLECT THEM LIKE POKEMON!"
Yes: "Start now, getting everything that you can reasonably afford, as quickly as you can"
That's a waste of money and resources if you don't need boosters.
If you think the answer to that question is yes then I think you've misunderstood their point.
Maybe?
You can always get tested to see if you need boosters. However, there's no harm to getting a booster and if your immunity level has dropped it's a surefire way to make sure you are protected for the next 10+ years depending on what you got boosted for.
Nobody is saying after getting the booster that you need to continue getting boosters for the same disease. 1 is enough to hopefully outlast this admin and insanity.
MMR, in particular, would be a very good one to get as Measles appears to be back in force.
I haven't gotten a booster in 20 years and I'm due. I plan on getting them all.
That is exactly what the post I replied to was saying. "Get all you can afford".
