The point was to put into perspective the risk of death by age range and by extension of that, from what basis are those with lower risk profiles are they being subjected to vaccination whilst not even testing for natural immunity from prior infection?

Yes I read it. Natural immunity from prior infection is longer lasting and more wide ranging than a double jab. Why not redirect those vaccines to those in greater need of them?

Statistics will help you put this into perspective. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-89615-4

This is not actually true according to this paper. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.31.21261387v1

I don't think he failed to note anything since he posted a citation to the full paper.

Statistically speaking, the kid is talking the truth. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-89615-4

"US researchers say teenagers are more likely to get vaccine-related myocarditis than end up in hospital with Covid." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/10/boys-more-at-risk-from-pfizer-jab-side-effect-than-covid-suggests-study

There are no internet experts I can see posting anything but citations from the types of experts you reference in your post.

Vaccinated people contracting covid have similar viral loads to unvaccinated (with the Delta variant). This was previously the correlation used to guage transmissibility. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.31.21261387v1 I am not anti vax. It's just not the first thing I reach for when seeking solutions.

And so in this context, why do you think that there has not been any vigorous effort to test for antibodies derived from previous infection?

That is still no basis for vaccination of that age group since the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission. Severe illness in those age groups are very uncommon. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-89615-4

And how is this research without any merit. Educate me.

You don't have any obligation to answer. But since this is a public forum and you're taking part in discussion, I thought I might ask. Do you know of any other mRNA vaccine in widespread use or not?

There is increasing evidence that natural immunity post infection is indeed longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210830/Does-SARS-CoV-2-natural-infection-immunity-better-protect-against-the-Delta-variant-than-vaccination.aspx

Your response to that poster was one of belittlement. You didn't answer the question. Please can you share with me other usecases of mRNA technology that are in widespread use?
