Regardless of booster efficacy, shots should be sent en masse to developing countries. It is no conspiracy theory to say pharmaceutical companies have a vested financial interest in shoving as many shots as they can on wealthy nations while ignoring what is best for public health. That is the problem with boosters, far more than any medical rationale about why they are useful.

You better make sure that you deliver those vaccines that have a much longer shelf-life, and well before their expiration date:

Probably not fully, but I don’t doubt the companies producing them are playing up the need for a third or fourth dose

Booster shocks only work if you inject them in the testicles.

If you do intramascular injections you produce new covid variants. You don't want to kill grandma, do you?

The idea that you can vaccinate your way out of a pandemic is lunacy.

No one is required to take them so no it's not a conspiracy

We all have vaccines in us anyways if you have COVID vaccine, you get the Pnemonia shot and flu shots in one fashion or another they boost your immune system, your immune system gets rid of virus the Vaccination boost your immunity

If they're a conspiracy than I'm glad to have finally participated in one.

This. I'm not convinced it really had to be 4 months after the initial cycle, as opposed to 8 or 10.

Make money, I guess?

And there are probably some incentives to sell more vaccinations but thinking vaccination is some sort of evil secret plot has to be some sort of disability or schizoid disorder.

Overall no, but as others have pointed out, companies do have an interest in making sure there are more shots because more shots means more profit. On the whole, though, I vote no in the context that it's not the 'deep state conspiracy' the MAGAns think it is.
