[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Swiss canton Bern only recommends the new covid booster for people 65+ years old and the medically vulnerable who are 16+ years old. For everyone else:

"Vaccination is not recommended for all other people, as there is hardly any risk of serious illness in people without risk factors."

That isn't the CDC or even an organization within the United States.[/quote]
Nearly every other nation in the world only recommends the new covid booster for the elderly and the medically vulnerable. The US is an outlier in recommending the booster for all.[/quote]

Because they have universal healthcare and the vaccine is expensive. They are making population level decisions based on cost. [/quote]

Universal health care isn't as great as you think. We have tricare which is the equivalent of it.  It takes weeks to months to get a primary care appointment and often not with your doctor and if you schedule it with your doctor, you are often seen by someone else.  You wait months for specialists, or get referred off network and generally only bad doctors take tricare as it pays so low.  Doctors are very dismissive of health issues and the current protocol is to put you on medications, like cholesterol and not regularly test you to see if it's working or what's going on.  And the wait for specialists, MRI's/CT/Ultra Sounds is months.  I cannot just call a clinic and ask for one and get it within a week or so.[/quote]
