Recommendable! Are we unnecessarily aiming to high with coronavirus vaccinations? Apparently so!
Remember: SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 is a fairly harmless disease compared to the plagues of history! Young people have little to fear! E.g. the death statistics of Western countries are terribly inflated!
"... Coronavirus is an RNA virus, which means it changes. However, its mutation rate is three to four times less compared with the influenza virus, which is good news for vaccine makers ...
“Most people in the world don’t need the booster shot to prevent them from getting serious disease, but they do need it to prevent them from getting corona and spreading it to other people.” ..."
Recent papers have shown that even as neutralizing antibodies wane, the vaccine still has a good memory response.
So, why take the booster then?
Because ... the booster is not only stopping serious disease, it is also aimed at halting infection – a high bar for a vaccine.
“Most vaccines are used to prevent serious infection and not any infection,” ...“Most people in the world don’t need the booster shot to prevent them from getting serious disease, but they do need it to prevent them from getting corona and spreading it to other people.” ..."
