Even if that's the hill you've chosen to die on, Delta is still out there and at a high prevalence especially in North America and you've admitted that the vaccine is effective but wanes, so a booster makes sense in that cost benefit regardless.

It was claimed that there exist RCTs that demonstrate boosters providing "robust protection against Delta and Omikron variants". Where are they, then?

These boosters are administered to teenagers, who are also at the highest risk for Myocarditis. What makes you so confident that the imputed benefit of a booster outweighs the risk? Where is the data?

If you want to administer boosters to everyone based on speculation and weak observational data, go right ahead. Just don't act as if you have "the science" backing you up.
