No

Thoughts?
Does Covid cause death? Only a tolerable amount of it?
Hope is the denial of reality
Because there are other vaccines. They're still better than no vaccine.

Life is full of side effects. One of them is people mistaking searching for confirmation of their prejudices on Google for actual research.
Congratulations America
I was hospitalized after a booster last fall but I'm still eager to get this new booster. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't taken a booster yet. I want to. I should. But I just never seem to get around to it.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
I had 4 shots and then got covid, so what gives. I probably will still get the booster.
Congratulations America
I think the vaccine is generally considered to offer minimal, if any, protection from contracting the virus, and this is pretty much what every official source says. Then again, over here 69% of the population is vaccinated (this figure includes those who haven't had the booster), but among the positive tests that are reported daily, proportion of vaccinated folks is somewhere in the 55-60% area. It is difficult to control for other factors, though - on one hand, the vaccinated folks probably take the whole pandemic more seriously, and are more likely to follow the recommendations regarding hygiene, avoiding crowded areas, etc. On the other hand, for much the same reason the vaccinated folks are more likely to actually get tested.

"That is, the number of young men's lives saved from COVID-19 vaccination undoubtedly outweighs whatever it is Ladapo is touting here—which is probably nothing."
Almost no one in that age group dies from COVID... (be sure not to count people dying who happen to have had COVID like say George Floyd). The interesting thing is that it isn't just Florida sounding the alarm about myocarditis. See Sweden and Denmark changing their views on Moderna due to myocarditis.
Right, Lewk. We all know there are no long term consequences of Covid other than death.

If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
