It’s not at all the same, that’s a terrible example. Child vaccinations help reduce the Rt, regardless of whether the benefit to the individual is significant. Statements to the contrary have just confused the public. (biochemist)
Not necessarily, because excessive boosting is associated with increased infection rate/RTlt: https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(25)000...
Tell that to the European health agencies, I guess, they seem to be confused too.
Nothing new there.
What Rt are you worried about in 2025?
Rt is just basic science, and basic science doesn’t change depending on the year.
