Denmark not offering second Covid booster shot to healthy adults under 50

For a significant time, the vaccine showed strong evidence of reducing hospitalization and fatality rates, esp for at risk populations. Did that change? I thought the main thing that changed was it stopped being effective at reducing transmission.

As the variant distibution changed, nearly all benefits of vaccines disappeared. These facts are slowly trickling into the larger public knowledge, but it's been well understood within the medical research community for a while now.

Could you share these facts about the ba.1 and ba.5 updated boosters?

I asked my mother why she got vaccinated and boosted, despite knowing that the vaccines were for a legacy variant from like 2 years ago.

"I wanted to travel and go on my trip".

SMH.

They forced our parents to get these legacy vaccines for a variant that hasn't been seen in a year, and held Juicy cruises over their heads.

Next, there will be a vaccine requirement to play Bingo!

You understand this is a liability for the cruise line and has almost nothing to do with your parents? If there's an outbreak on the cruise and someone dies from COVID, they have liability.
