Booster shot of Covid-19 vaccine, yes or no?

Just realized I have a problem. My semi-annual PCP visit is late November, I should get my flu shot then but my 3rd dose of Covid-19 should also be given then. Had decided to get the Covid dose then wait a month for my annual flu shot. Here's the problem my PCP is a staunch supporter of the opposition party, do I take his advice knowing that he may be biased?

Doctors are all over the place in what they believe to be the best treatment regimen for a lot of illnesses regardless of political views. If you feel comfortable with your own decision based on data at the time, ask for the booster if you want it. If he refuses, find another provider.

Had this on my mind since replying a few days ago. So distressing that you described your doctor as "opposition party " ....the media (both polarized sides since there are hardly any trusted, non-polarized American media sources) are doing their damndest to inflame the vaccine issue as a political or liberal vs conservative war.

I do believe that one party is more vaccine hesitant than the other, but not as polarized as people are being fed by the media. In real life, I know people across the political spectrum who believe differing things about the vaccine including one very liberal friend who is vaccine hesitant because she has a vaccine injured son--autism. She nearly died of Covid and may be looking at a lung transplant. Have another conservative friend who was waiting on full FDA approval and has now gotten his.

Wake up people. Those with differing political views are not a group to be "othered" by either side. We're being herded into tribalism and enmity by leaders and the media. It is very obvious and I'm not sure why...just know that it is Not!!! a good, productive situation.
