I can’t read the article, but guessing it puts very little weight on the severity reduction vaccines grant. Or is there new data showing that’s not a thing?

The argument for the vaccine mandate is care for others (don’t spread to someone else) which is harmed by vaccinated spreaders.

The argument that forcing people to care for themselves is good would use the severity reduction as a point. But that is not presently the point.

By no less than Luc Montagnier himself. This looks like the nuclear letter by Einstein to Roosevelt. WSJ is one of the very few remaining solid objective outlets in the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc_Montagnier

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Montagnier was a promoter of the conspiracy theory that SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus, was deliberately created in, and thereafter escaped from a laboratory. Such a claim has been refuted by other virologists.

You sure about that?

Just from reading his wikipedia bio, whatever gravitas he may have once had seems to have been traded for conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.

This looks like idea laundering.

In Denmark, 94% of infections are Omicron. Double vaccinated get infected at a higher rate than unvaccinated.(Source: ssi.dk) A booster reduces infection rates to a little less than the unvaccinated. Those are what the data show in Denmark.

Interesting. Maybe the effective lockdown of the unvaccinated is a factor in this? ref: https://dk.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/security-and-t...

You should know better than blindly trust wikipedia. It's written by humans, too, who are not devoid of bias.
