I would read that as "not preventing infection". Are they preventing infection?

It is draconian if you cannot show that the vaccines are working against transmission. You need to vaccinate about 80-120 people to prevent one more covid case and that is based on old data[0], pre-Delta and pre-Omicron. Now the efficacy is

Just for correctness: the myocarditis risk for Pfizer second and third dose exceeds the myocarditis risk from covid for this group as well.

This. Building a webshop with crypto is the most trivial thing. Complying with all the legal regulation that buyer and seller are bound to is the actual complex part. Insanely complex.

I agree, but I meant something else and I probably was not clear with my wording: I think that there is a witch-hunt against people who are considered to think unscientifically, but the hunters do not have a solid scientific basis for their
