Emphasis on "likely" - the authors do not conclude with any certainty, they're speculating based on the available evidence, just like you.
I guess your personal threshold for "plenty of reason to conclude" is lower than mine, and that's okay - to each their own.
But it's very clearly spelled out in the sources I cited: currently there is limited evidence demonstrating the safety and benefit profiles needed to conclude that every child and every pregnant woman should be vaccinated.
- handoflixue 5y agoYeah, but in the absence of better information, we make do with what we have, and pregnant people get vaccinated, right? I see your point that more research is better, but given the current uncertainty you still have to decide whether Covid or Vaccine is the bigger risk, and all the science says that Covid is the bigger risk. I'm honestly not sure where we disagree.
