Booster mandates in young adults are expected to cause a net harm: per COVID-19 hospitalisation prevented, we anticipate at least 18.5 serious adverse events from mRNA vaccines, including 1.5–4.6 booster-associated myopericarditis cases in males (typically requiring hospitalisation)…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white'>As we speculated on this site a year ago, for young people the risk of the mRNA covid booster outweighs the benefits. I had no idea the disparity was this big: 18.5 youngsters land in the hospital from the mRNA booster for every one which is prevented. Sheesh, I kinda estimated the risk crossover point was around age 30,but now I think it must be later than that, perhaps 40?
