1. Prevention of severe outcomes, such as hospitalizations and deaths (
individual health benefit)
2. Prevention of infection and transmission (public health benefit)
Covid has animal reservoir and is still very transmissible among vaccinated
people. Because of those factors, it is widely accepted among infectious
disease experts that everyone will be exposed to covid in several years.
Thus, the public health benefit of covid vaccines is minimal.
The FDA panel on vaccine boosters correctly captured this argument, and
concluded that only the individual health benefit should be considered in
the risk/benefit calculation. That's why they concluded that the booster
shot should be given to elderly and people with high risk of covid rather
than the general public.
In other words, people should take covid vaccines based on the risk/benefit
calculation on their own health, rather than aiming to take the vaccine and
stop the spread of covid. | i*****9
