He could be telling us that so people will not demand Moderna over Pfizer. Reminds me of when he said masks were not needed. He did it because he knew they did not have enough masks. I also think he knew we needed boosters when Pfizer announced it months ago. They waited until now to admit that we would need them. I think they said that to keep us from flocking to the stores to get shots.
