The article does state..
".."In addition, there is a debate about whether booster shots are effective at all," Ghebreyesus told a news conference with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto."
...and...
"...The WHO said last week current data does not indicate that COVID-19 booster shots are needed....."
...which surprised me. Those are fairly unequivocal statements. If those statementa are true, why are boosters even being discussed for anyone other than those at very high risk?
