FDA and CDC experts said the plan was ill-advised, so the agencies cut them out of the decision process..
The U.S. government is pushing Covid-19 vaccine boosters for 16- and 17-year-olds without supporting clinical data. A large Israeli population study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this month, found that the risk of Covid death in people under 30 with two vaccine shots was zero.
Booster mandates for healthy young people, which some colleges are imposing, will cause medical harm for the sake of transient reductions in mild and asymptomatic infections. In a study of 438,511 males 16 to 24, 56 developed myocarditis after their second Pfizer dose (or 1 in 7,830, at least seven times the usual rate). True, most cases were mild, but in the broader group of 136 people (including older and female patients) who developed myocarditis after the vaccine, seven had a “complicated course,” and one 22-year-old died. Moderna’s vaccine carries an even higher rate of heart complications, which is why some European countries have restricted it for people under 30. But in the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indiscriminately push for boosters for all young people.
Those recommendations came over the objections of the agencies’ own experts. The last vote by FDA advisers, in September, rejected the proposal 16-2. FDA leaders revisited the proposal in November and simply bypassed the experts. So did the CDC,

A study by Oxford researchers, published last week in Nature Medicine, validated those concerns. It found young people suffered myocarditis, pericarditis and arrhythmias more frequently from Moderna’s vaccine than from Covid itself. And the long-term cardiac effects of boosters in young people are unknown.

Teens can transmit the virus just a well as the adults. If the are vaccinated, they are less likely to get infected so they can transmit the virus.
Which is essentially the same risk an unvaxxed teen would have.
I have a 19 year old son who attends Cal State which had a max mandate to start last Fall. He got the J&J. So far they don’t have a booster mandate, but today UC issued one—students can’t return for the next quarter/semester without it (or a health or religious exemption request). I imagine Cal State will follow suit eventually.
I’m thinking that if my son is required to have a booster he should get the J&J again, because I think the clot problems associated with the J&J are more a risk for young women, while the other 2 options have the heart problem risks for young men. Also he hates doc appts of any kind and “one and done” is appealing (looks like not so much “one and done” after all).
No one should have a mandated vaccine like this and especially not those under age 50. . .I suggested he consider colleges in TX or AZ (he got into some) but he wanted to stay in CA. . .
My teen boy had the OG covid in Nov 2020 and only had a runny nose for 7 days. Only symptom. I’m not letting him get vaxxed. He has enough special needs and he needs a strong heart. It’s ridiculous that to this very day no government or media ever mentions the elephant in the room. Natural immunity. It didn’t go away just because the media whores and pharma owned medical conglomerates are not allowed to mention it.
J&J was removed as a further option iirc
The universal “vaccination” pushed by the government is just plain wrong. It will not stop the evolution of this pandemic and risks production of a super-bug that will definitely get everyone’s attention. This is not to mention thousands of unnecessary deaths in previously healthy young men and women caused by the experimental “vaccines”. Insiders indicate — believe it or not — that this monolithic approach is due to stupidity among the bureaucratic elites making the decisions.

No, J&J is not removed as an option—the CDC is now advising against it but they are still being offered (at least in my area of the SF Bay Area).
