- hn_throwaway_99 4y ago"no" deaths is definitely an overstatement (not hard to find deaths of healthy young people by Googling), but the overall point is valid. Severe consequences of Covid are very rare in the young, and many Western health authorities have found that booster vaccinations aren't warranted for young healthy people because the cost/benefit isn't there.
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoThey can still transmit it. So, still a bad idea if the "healthy young person" has older relatives such as parents. COVID is a problem for entire societies, tackling it in an individualised, atomised way is going to be super-ineffective.
