Good for them for actually following science instead of the religion it had become. The problem of course is other countries that demand it, and no doubt will continue to demand Nth shots to appeal to their religious base, meaning people will who want to travel have to keep getting the shots anyway

What science? As far as I can tell most scientists recommend getting vaccinated.

  This is mostly about further vaccination. The FAQ answers why to there is a need to be revaccinated. Not sure if it’s bad wording or if they really mean that completely unvaccinated under 50 should not get a first pair of shots. One should understand that in many countries with large public healthcare there is a big difference between who’s part of the vaccination campaigns and who’s actually allowed to get it, but not targeted by a campaign. I read this as the campaigns this fall focusing on boosting the over 50 and healthy under 50 need to get it themselves (be it first or subsequent shots).

    First three shots are still offered for anyone who wants them. This is solely about a fourth BA.1 updated booster.

Ah yes, the science.

  the same science that told me a cloth bandana is better than nothing. To think, I actually tried sleeping in a bulky P100 mask because the pandemic pr0n was crazy. Just as crazy as me trying to sleep in a P100, which, I admit, was pretty crazy.

This article made no references to showing that it's not needed for that group. This decision only attempts to address the worst off on average and completely ignores the rest of the population despite what harm it will cause or the new variants that now have a larger group to evolve through.

Please be civil. Just because you disagree with a position doesn't mean it is not science and that public servants are making choices for some nefarious reason. COVID vaccines have unquestionably saved a lot of lives and will continue to do so in the future. The question is what their involvement will be in the future. A decision that will be made by the same people, with the same scientific rigour that it's always been.

  Could you find any study where vaccines saved healthy adults under 50?

    That's not how studies work.

Honestly, the death toll of COVID is immense, and the rates of Long COVID are several times that. Even in people who don't develop it, we're finding blood clots and dramatically increased cardiovascular risk in young, healthy, asymptomatic sufferers. At this rate, several years from now half the population is going to be either disabled or substantially less able than before. Dismissing COVID as you are doing is a naive and straight up stupid luxury of a young, healthy person buying into the narrative spun by others who'd rather have peace of mind and avoid inconvenience than take this threat seriously.

  So the whole thing about "following the science" was wasted on you :(
