Alec Hogg: Are booster jabs for naturally immune rational?

Way back when I worked in television at the SABC, we were told for every correspondent who bothered to send a letter, 10,000 felt the same way but had neither the time nor inclination to write. Given the ease of sending emails, that ratio is now surely a lot smaller nowadays. The relevance of correspondence, however, remains high.

Yesterday's newsletter generated interesting responses, including an email from Davide Hanan who offered a different perspective, one sufficiently widely shared that it won't be repeated here. He ended off asking whether I have been vaccinated, presumably because he felt this would affect my thought processes.

So for the record, yes I did receive a first Pfizer jab (in May); had very mild Covid-19 in June; my infection was acquired from someone who had been vaccinated but needed oxygen to recover. Whether this experience affects my ability to present the facts and ask difficult questions is something only you can determine.
