We're saying the same thing, but not at the same time and it's completely my fault :) Let me try again to put it all together.
Yes, it has been stated previously as you said. My belief is that the answers to your original question in your post referencing the WaPo article is because they are trying to slow it down, then make it look like the flu by announcing yearly shots in the fall.
You asked "Wait...for what?" and I believe the answer to that is that they will keep delaying until the fall, they'll announce a yearly shot and pretend immunocompromised people don't exist, like they're essentially doing for the rest of the pandemic response.
My comment about making it like the flu is that my immunocompromised relative gets the RIV4 shot once a year for flu. I believe in the end they're going to pretend like the COVID equivalent will be enough for everyone.
The truth is *everyone* will need more than one shot a year with the current vaccines. The data bears that out. I don't think it will change the political plan, though.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but, I suspect I'm not.
