Thank you for continuing with your updates outside of Twitter/X. The Substack feature to have this information delivered by email is invaluable, and helps our household to make informed choices.
Where is your evidence that the boosters are effective at all? It appears to me that Pfizer failed to do proper large scale testing. There are too many questions about safety for me to trust them ever again.
Thank you! Valuable info, I’m getting Moderna 2w ahead of a trip over for family illness. So little of the population is vaccinated here in the USA and there - very worrying when someone with low immunity has to grand have multiple appointments and be hospitalized.
Can you possibly address the current worry (a lot on your Twitter post today) about the vaccines we have had. Many of us already vaxed have had the older type. Only to find this week a new one is available which is supposedly safer and deals with the current new variants better.
I think the old vax is still pretty effective against severe illness, and better to be protected now I think given the wave is in full swing (remember it takes 2 weeks before reaching full protection after vaccination), so please don't feel too upset about it!
Thank you. Very helpful. Just received my booster in Scotland.
NB. I will be removing any blatant anti vax comments. Take anti vax views elsewhere.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, and easily accessible/understandable data. This post is brilliant.
I know there is talk about making it possible to buy a private vaccination in the future, have you any idea why it can't be done now?
no idea! last I heard they were talking about it being next year

Thank you! We have so little to go on these days.

Should we be worried if we got the old one?
