The reason the "shots recommendations have changed" is the sociological production of the end of the pandemic.

COVID, especially long COVID are causing longterm organ damage and massive increases in disability(Pandemic Accountability Index "What COVID-19 Does to the Body, June 2025).

I can't tell you why governments of different political leanings around the world are supporting various levels of this vibes-based public health negligence "it's over"-brain.

But I can tell you my immediate family member got COVID again this year - almost nobody wearing masks where they live, so they rarely wear one even though they had terrible long COVID before - and was sick in bed for another 10 days. They had had to argue to be allowed a COVID booster vaccination, a couple of months before that.
