[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to a British analysis, giving the booster to about a million people would prevent, on average, one death. That is, your risk of death from not getting the shot is about 1 in a million.

You also have about a 1 in a million risk from dying if you drive 200 miles.

I got a [b]booster[/b], because I think there are slight benefits, but the emphasis is on slight. People who are already vaxxed and decide not to get a [b]booster[/b] are not idiots. (I do think people who refused a first vaccine are idiots.)

Isn’t the latest shot considered a new Covid shot and not a booster. In other words that it’s a new and necessary vaccine instead of “boosting” historic protection?[/quote]

Well, whatever you call it, this is the analysis of the effects of the latest shot. The reason that the benefits are a tiny fraction of the benefits of the first shot because people have existing immunity, from prior exposure and/or prior vaccines.[/quote]
