    Just to close the circle on this since I’ve possibly been labelled as kooky despite not thinking of myself as having a particularly open mind.

    Oh and. Get vaccinated. Not because people are screaming at you. Despite the pitying condescension. Because (the data show) you should.

    Looks promising. Hopefully the results can be repeated

    Yep, fingers crossed. Obviously vaccination was never mutually exclusive with other treatments.

    What would be weird to me is if the people talking about the risks of DNA alteration (don’t understand enough to see it) with vaccines rushed to embrace molnupavir, which does apparently have at least the theoretical possibility of mutagenesis? Well many happy to be guinea pigs and shouldn’t comment on people choosing their own risks.
