❦ ‘The emergence of [new SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Interest] BA.2.86 meant a decision was made to bring forward the autumn Covid booster to better protect the most vulnerable this winter.

But the new jabs are only available to people over 65 years old – it was the over-50s last year – and those with certain health conditions.

That is a tactical decision, says Dr. Adam Finn, Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Bristol.

He explained:

“When younger people who’ve already had infections and vaccines get Covid [again], they get a cold and a cough and might be off work for a few days.

There’s no real value in investing a lot of time and effort immunising them again when there are so many other things for the Health Service to be doing.”

[❦ Note: Can a 62-year-old be defined as a ‘younger person’? Yes, at a pinch, if Mr. Finn compares them to a 78-year-old.

What age-group do these ‘younger people’ belong to who don’t need vaccinating, and who instead need to be continually reinfected with a highly pathogenic Biohazard-Level 3 virus? Could it be a 32-year-old man or woman hoping to have a baby?

Or the 0 to 19-year-olds, who are the academic professor’s strong suit?]

‘The reality is then that most under-65s will now end up boosting their immunity not through vaccination, but through catching Covid many times.

In general, Prof Finn says each new infection should feel milder with the length of time you are sick reduced [sic].

“Each time you catch it, your immunity gets stronger and broader,” he adds.’
