”High insurance prices are how the market both signals that an area is a risky place to live […] When governments mess with insurance prices—either through subsidies, cheap public insurance, or price controls—the result is always the same. More people move to dangerous areas that are highly susceptible to natural disasters. (1/2)

”För unga män i åldrarna 16–24 är det knappt tre gånger högre risk efter en boosterdos med Comirnaty jämfört med om du bara är vaccinerad med första och andra dos Comirnaty”. Jämförelse med 0 doser hade ju också varit intressant. https://officiell-info.se/@lakemedelsverket/112008280967010179
