'Consequences of not getting a Covid vaccine, in the UK, especially among older adults, age 75+: Missing 1 shot had a similar risk of severe Covid as missing all 4 shots (2.7 vs 3.1-fold, respectively), emphasizing waned immunity. Advanced age adults need a booster!' Eric Topol

I gave my kids all the vaccines on offer on the NHS. MMR, flu, covid, you name it. I even gave my youngest the chicken pox vaccine privately. It was a no brainer. As a parent you’re sometimes not sure what’s the best thing to do for your kids. But nah, not on this one!

B/ we understand long term effects of Covid
C/ we shouldn’t do anything to reduce infections

“cognitive deficits were equivalent to 20 years of ageing”

Ongoing impacts on brain >1 year serious Covid infection
