“boosting is just going to make it worse and invert the viral gradient even further. any short term help from boosted antibodies (at the price of another round of dangerous adverse events) will just run up a bigger bigger bill to pay when it comes due later, and it’s far from clear that this booster strategy even provides short term help.”

Well at least public health policy and fiscal policy now match. It’s a sign of the times.

This is what happens when the “make your own reality” crowd is in charge. But real reality has a nasty habit of flailing back around and decapitating the deluded.

It’s best not to pretend.

My country Ireland is perhaps the clearest example of this. We hit 50% vaccinated in July and are at 95% of adults now and 90% over 12. Every single metric is MUCH worse than this time last year, including deaths which have been higher every month since and including July. I have all this in a spreadsheet if you want it.
