So, what's the risk ratio? I haven't said that it's totally useless, you simply excluded that possibility as a given. Most countries around the world have stopped recommending any further boosters to those under 50/65 years of age.
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y ago> Most countries around that world have stopped recommending any further boosters. What makes you say that? It doesn't sound accurate at all, given that Autumn booster programs are underway in USA, UK, EU - and those are the only ones that I have checked. And what are you attempting to imply?
- sfusato 4y agoI'm not implying anything. See my earlier comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33595347 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33595347
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoI also see the _late addition_ of "to those under 50/65 years of age" in grandparent comment, which changes the meaning quite a bit. These countries, for many people, are recommending further boosters. In the UK's case, the NHS "invites people 50 and over for autumn boosters" (1) which doesn't rule out any further action later for under 50s. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2022/10/nhs-invites-people-50-and-over-for-autumn-boosters-and-flu-jab/ https://www.england.nhs.uk/2022/10/nhs-invites-people-50-and...
- sfusato 4y agoI've later added that "50/65 age" mention. Apologies for that. So, you reckon this a not important change in policy? I personally find it as a radical change in policy, almost short of an apology to be honest.
