Comparing the COVID-19 Vaccines: How Are They Different?

In its 6th year, COVID-19 continues to spread, driven by Omicron subvariants. Updated vaccines, revised yearly since 2022, are still expected to protect well against severe illness, hospitalisation, and death, even with new strains.
Comparing the COVID-19 Vaccines: How Are They Different?
Keeping up with COVID-19 vaccines can be a daunting task. To help people keep up, Yale Medicine mapped out a comparison of the most prominent ones.

Far-UVC light (222 nm) kills airborne bacteria in indoor spaces, reducing pathogens by up to 99.5%—even with low ventilation. Tested at room scale, it works fast & effectively. A game-changer for infection control in schools, hospitals, offices. Let’s deploy this tech!

Wait. What if it's not lockdowns from 5 years ago and a lack of infections causing "immunity debt", but actually repeated infection with a virus with known immunological, cardiovascular, neurological, and many other effects?!?
