FDA Advisory Panel Rejects Widespread Pfizer Vaccine Booster Shots
The panel did, however, endorse the extra shots for those who are 65 or older or at high risk of severe disease.
Could the labs still do a booster mandate just to be safe?

The labs have become a risk averse establishment. The question posed is would the labs mandate the use of the booster in spite of the FDA NOT recommending the usage for those under the age of 65, which one would presume would encompass just about the entire population. The lawyers would have to huddle up in the back room. If anything bad happened to someone taking the booster at the lab's insistence they would not have the backing of the FDA thus they might be RISKING a lawsuit. That's a tough decision, but that is why the folks in the suits get the big bucks.
For the record, I am over 65 and have health issues which forced my hand at getting the vaccine. I also encountered some bad side effects after the 2nd dose and will not entertain getting a booster.
I hope the FDA made their decision on science not political pressure. This whole thing is getting crazy. They need to listen to the science no doubting. There is no such thing as doubt in science.
The FDA has not made any decision. This was a recommendation of their advisory panel, which is not binding.
The FDA and CDC caved to WHO, which is demanding distribution of US-produced vaccines to the rest of the world, rather than booster shots to protect US citizens.

I did not think about it that way before. If that is the decision they should just say so. There is some rational to this in terms of saving the most lives.

Yes, and this was completely understood by everyone. The FDA still makes a decision on their recommendation. Beyond increasing intellectual entropy do you actaully have actually have a point.

Obviously you are not a scientist. Doubt is why experiments are reproduced and papers are peer reviewed.

If you read the comments here, obviously not by "everyone." Try to contain your narcissism and snark

When people say "listen to the science" they do not mean science as they way scientists understand it with experiments, modifications in hypothesis, updates, debate, and so on. What many mean is submit to "authority".
