Maybe some stronger body lor.

There's a statistical distribution, some stronger, some weaker.
Likewise, mortality, life expectancy

My kids remain covid-vaccine free.

think back about this
when Pfizer first offered the vax
countries have to bid for it
when ppe wasnt enough ppl have to rob it
if kids version is so good, why didn't they keep it for themselves? but offer it everywhere
usa dont even dare to jab their own kids
and ppl even volunteer to jab their own kids? thats really dumb (no offence)

Same for me.

Definitely harder on my first born since there were safe entry restrictions. Had to go to ART test centers to get tested before entering the malls.

XEC variant of Covid-19 'spreading 7 times faster than the flu'​

The Public Health Ministry said it is keeping its guard up against the XEC variant of Covid-19 as it is now spreading seven times faster than the regular flu.

Minister Somsak Thepsuthin said it is diverting resources and manpower to protect vulnerable groups while being watchful of the spread of the virus in schools.

Mr Somsak said that since Jan 1, the country has officially entered its 21st week of implementing certain disease control measures. Some 108,891 XEC cases have been recorded so far, with 27 deaths.

The fatalities this year have primarily affected the so-called "608 group", which includes the elderly, with 80% of the deaths occurring among senior citizens.
Children have also been impacted by the virus. The latest outbreak stems from the XEC variant, a descendant of Omicron.

While this strain is not exceptionally severe, its rapid transmission poses a heightened risk to vulnerable populations. Despite the relatively low fatality rate, health authorities stress the importance of taking preventative measures.

Dr Teera Woratanarat, from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine, said this strain of Covid-19 is spreading nearly seven times faster than influenza.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has urged schools to monitor cluster infections among students closely.
According to Dr Teera, Covid-19 remains the most common infectious disease across all age groups, affecting young children, teenagers, working-age adults, and the elderly.

Over the past week, 43,213 hospital patients were recorded as having it -- both in-patients and outpatients -- marking a 35.5% increase from the previous week.
Three recent deaths were reported in the provinces of Kanchanaburi and Sukhothai and in Bangkok Noi district.

A mixed bag.

The Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines were initially issued emergency use authorizations (EUAs). The EUAs allowed them to be used during the COVID pandemic without being fully FDA approved.

Since then, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been fully approved for certain age groups and authorized for others. The Novavax vaccine has also been approved. And as of May 2023, the J&J vaccine is no longer available.

But with the recent development. Should it be banned already?

Not banned.
My take is FDA under hhs is taking incremental steps to be more restrictive but not tantamount to a ban.
There's still many issues in the air and more concrete steps will be taken accordingly depending on those outcomes ....
