Part of this inability to get off the booster train is that constantly getting boosted may help the vulnerable not get symptomatic disease for a shot period of time. Keep you immune system jacked up and producing antibodies and it will keep you from getting symptoms when you are exposed. So the CDC keeps pushing boosters for the statistics that appear to make the strategy work. But each booster will produce less immune response, open you up to other disease, increase the risk of an autoimmune response, increase the risk of an adverse event to the shot, increase viral selection for immune escape, and otherwise make people sick. The booster train is running out of track and the CDC knows it, so the giving it a little more runway with the new variant boosters before the train plows into them.
They haven’t been interested in stopping the train, but at this point I expect to see many of them trying to get out of the way when it comes off the tracks. It will get interesting after the midterms this year.
Clearly, from a military perspective, it's a great advantage if a countermeasure can be quickly developed and deployed against a potential bio-weapon (say, anthrax). It need not even be lasting, near the end of this document note the words "weeks, months, transient."
I see no mention of risks to health long- or even short-term, but that's not surprising, since especially in war time, solders are expendable. Apparently, we are too.

They're trying to stop a runaway train with one hand tied behind their back imo....deliberately that is.
Yes, there is absolutely nothing accidental about this.

Agree.
There aren't too many exits left for the KOOL-AID & THE GANG TRAIN
To some degree, your phrasing recalls what I think the ancestor of these mRNA jabs
