Read the article. This claim is adressed. It‘s scientific consensus.

Yup, case closed.
And on a completely unrelated note:

This is such a dumb whataboutism point. Either discredit the data or the argument.

#7I got vaccinated the first day I could and got the 3rd dose last week.
My mother got the 3rd dose a few weeks before me and on the 3rd day one of her lower-legs went numb. She had some therapy in the hospital and is OK now, but I'm afraid how she could react to a possible future vaccination. I'm not even sure the vaccination was the cause.
I have many antivaxx coworkers and I would never mention something like that in front of them. Just today the most fanatical of them called in sick with "the flu". He doesn't even want to get tested for Covid.

#8This is in agreement with what my personal doctor told me: the vaccines work great for two months, lots of protection. He said, depending on individual circumstances, protection decreases rapidly after that. His concern is people thinking that they can stop being careful after getting a vaccination. I just finished a company offsite and they tested everyone every morning and sent out test kits to protest for a few days before the offsite meeting. I liked that degree of carefulness.

No this isn't whataboutism.
My point is simply that "scientific consensus" has lost some of its brand value.
Further, I'm not an "expert" so even if I did challenge the data or argument, I would be dismissed for being unqualified.

#10Wow! I miss a free and fair press that asks relevant questions.
This exchange would NEVER happen in North America:
DER SPIEGEL: Is it also possible that the next variant will already be here before you even start production?
Şahin: I've been thinking hard over the past few days about why we're actually seeing a variant like Omicron right now, what caused it. In doing so, I remembered being concerned about one thing earlier this year: In people with suppressed immune systems, the virus might get too much time to accumulate mutations and evolve. It appears to me that this is exactly what happened with Omicron: The virus has been able to undergo a prolonged evolution in a small group of people.
DER SPIEGEL: Was that an unfortunate coincidence, or are such strongly mutated variants a constant threat?
Şahin: It certainly could happen more often. Basically, it’s like this: Once Omicron spreads, the virus variant that comes after it will have to come up with something new to make the leap into the next generation. We would then be constantly facing a new pathogen.
