I think this link references the study above.
https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/...ailed-reviews/High risk of bias
The related analysis published Monday looked at data from 74 human studies, 45 of which were conducted in China and 12 in India. Of the 74, 52 were rated as having a high risk of bias, meaning they had designs, study methods, or statistical approaches that could skew the results.
Not all studies are created equal.
That last line is for you Rev.

I have not had a booster. The virus has run its course best I can tell. I've never had covid, even when everyone else in the house had it twice. Point being, there's sound reasoning based on fact and current situation behind my decisions, both to get the vaccine, and to not bother with boosters.
Adding fluoride to public drinking water is a beneficial service. Same as with the covid vaccine, a couple of people having adverse reactions while the vast majority benefit from it is NOT a reason to deprive the latter.
