Should I pull early buds off the tomato plants

Should I pull early buds off the tomato plants to make a healthier plant? I recently planted determinate tomatoes and they blossomed early. One of them has 5 tomatoes on it already. I’m wondering if I pull those off, if the plant will become healthier and produce more later on?
