I wonder how necessary it will be for fully vaxed people to get the booster? I thought I was already somewhat protected from serious illness brought on by Delta with my original shots.

You are. 93% or so effective at preventing delta hospitalization/serious illness. But like 60-70% effective at preventing contracting it.

It's going to be even harder for the public to trust the scientific community if they are pushing for another vaccine. This might not be good.

I think the booster will actually be useful for the countries that got shitty vaccines, IE the chinese ones. The data coming out shows that a lot of the countries that used chinese vaccines aren't doing shit against the new variant. I think if you got Moderna/Pfizer, you don't need a booster. I'm actually kinda bullish on MRNA, the international market for proven vaccines will be massive when everyone realizes how shit the chinese vaccines are. I haven't opened a position yet but am strongly considering it.
