From Bloomberg h/t Alex Berenson: Repeat Booster Shots Spur European Warning on Immune-System Risks European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune system and may not be feasible. Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune system and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said.
Risk/reward has changed significantly with Omicron. They never owned up to the risks in the first place, which would have allowed people to make an informed decision about whether to get vaccinated. Many people would have correctly concluded the risk/reward was not in their favor even for the more dangerous earlier strains.
More people would have insisted on less risky treatment options, and that would have blown apart the vaccination-is-only-solution mantra. They wanted to vaccinate the whole population in order to protect the small number of people truly at risk. They didn't want to explain why healthy, young people were being asked to take unreasonable risks for a purported mild benefit to sicker/older people.
