    Well the article is fairly accurate. Of course, in six months I would wager it would be written with a different take on the vaccine.

    Obviously the author still trusts the government recommendation and likely believes the vaccines are safe and effective when he wrote “in line with government recommendations.”

    “US-approved Covid-19 vaccine rule,” is factually inaccurate since the “approved” vaccine Comirnaty is not distributed in the US…just a minor detail that all too many fail to understand…to include this author.
