A top vaccine expert is advising that healthy young people should not get the latest COVID-19 booster shot because "there's not clear evidence of benefit."
Sixteen months after the Biden administration conceded COVID-19 might have emerged "from a laboratory accident," largely ending social media censorship of the onetime "conspiracy theory," fresh scrutiny is falling on a nonprofit conduit for federal research grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and a purported fact-checker.
"Before you vaccinate millions of healthy 20 year olds, and give Pfizer billions, we usually run trials to ensure the benefit exists," epidemiologist says, objecting to lack of evidence for bivalent booster mandates.
