I don’t think OP claimed any of this, at least in my reading.
All of these things are trade offs anyway - a weaker immunised patient might become a training ground for a variant, but a weakly immunised patient might also have a reduced risk of spreading which results in fewer cases and fewer chances for mutations.
I don't think anyone is arguing that IF the booster is not needed, then we shouldn't double the vaccine supply. Consider the following risk however: There is such a thing called vaccine resistance. A weakly immunized patient becomes a training ground for novel variants of the virus that then starts spreading & vaccine doesn't work.
