Well, there really isn't any data on Omicron in regards to how the vaccines respond beyond a study they did on 12 people.
So it seems extremely strange to take the data we do have on Delta & other variants which is that longer intervals have been better, and completely throw it out of the window based on a variant we still don't know anything about.
But of course we're seeing more of a political do this or else response, and less of a 'what does the science say' response.
Which also explains the complete ignoring of natural immunity when pushing the booster shot, and the upcoming mandates we all know are coming in regards to the booster.
As an example, if I'm double vaccinated (3 months in), and have gotten COVID, the data is showing that my immunity is as strong as someone with a booster for up to 8 months. Therefore I would look at the booster at that time. But with a mandate, that changes.
