Covid-19 crisis Boosters for the elderly

My friend sent me a link to this article and made the following comment:

If US FDA which is a recognized institution is cautioning against taking the 3rd booster jab because of the associated risks then why is our government or authorities rushing into it without careful analysis & consideration ?

TKL replied

You should read the original FDA recommendation and understand it, before you form any opinion and spread it. Do not rely on a third party opinion.

If I remember correctly, the FDA recommended the booster for older people, but said that it was not necessary for younger people. 

Even so, they may recommend it for young people if this was found to be necessary based on future development of the virus. It is changing all the time. 

Regarding the risk of heart inflammation, we should consider how big is the risk. So, I do not form any strong opinion about it. 

Normally, I do not engage in one to one discussion of this type. So, this will be an exception.

I get people asking for my view about third party articles. It is frankly a waste of my time. If I give my views, I prefer to share it more widely in this platform.
