Im pfizered but i am not getting boosted.  If we are going to allow professional sports to have shorter quarantine periods, and able to play while sick/contagious?  Please dont push boosters on me.

   Actually, the CDC had 2 weeks quarantined when this all 1st started. After a few months, they went to 10 days......now the're saying 5.

I like how they call it a Booster and probably gonna call next ones Booster 2 and Powershot 1+2...it surely does sound better than shot 3, 4, 5....
