I didn’t know what other countries recommended for the Covid vaccination so I asked perplexity what the other g10 countries do for their policy.

It seems like all g10 nations have risk-based recommendations and none for everyone in the general population.

I find it hard to get clear reporting on this to differentiate what’s uniquely “against the science” vs just the US changing to match the rest of the world.

For Germany there is a General Recommendation by the Stiko(Standing Comitee on Vaccination). there is an PDF that sums it up: https://www.rki.de/EN/Topics/Infectious-diseases/Immunisatio... on Page 7. These Vaccinations are also covered by the Insurances.

> I asked perplexity

I’d stopped using it because its answers usually didn’t help, but I’ve not used Perplexity Pro recently. Is its main value just finding surface level info on websites quickly? Do you also use google.com/ai or similar as a fallback often or does it do a good enough job?

I just manually checked the references it collected. In this case there were only 10-15 countries I was interested in so could just see for myself (eg, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, etc )
