      What this data shows is that protecting already vaccinated people from infection is a really bad idea.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468347730133192708 …

      First lab results on Omicron, from @sigallab.🙏 Not great, but not as catastrophic as it could have been. Tested with 2x Pfizer, and shows, yeah, it'll cause a lot of breakthroughs. Those with vaccine *and* infection appeared much more protected: suggests boosters will work well. https://twitter.com/_b_meyer/status/1468319835012673549 …

      Wait what you think we should get infected after vaccination so that... we are better protected against infection after vaccination? Given sufficient supply, I'll take the vaccination route.

      How does it benefit my health to compromise my life in an effort to delay exposure to Covid until I’m older and more vulnerable?

      As I said, *given sufficient supply*—I’m all for distribution first to places without supply—makes more sense to get the booster and get on with your life as you wish. The data was less clear at first but has been unequivocal for awhile.

          I know the data is unequivocal at increasing antibodies (which will probably just wane again) but where is data showing a booster is needed to prevent severe disease?

          The only RCT on boosters is a Pfizer press release, which shows efficacy against symptomatic covid in 3x vaxxed vs 2x vaxxed (no prior infected in this study), no hospitalizations, no deaths in either arm, so we know absolutely nothing about booster efficacy against hosp/death

          @VPrasadMDMPH @ID_ethics Can it be considered unethical to delay infection for everyone that's currently vaccinated knowing full well that 1)vaccines wane to symptoms 2)age is the single biggest predictor of poor outcomes regardless of vaccine status 1/2

          Do you expect the antibodies to wane again? That’s what the latest evidence is showing I think. Does the boost provide a benefit against severe disease? Is the 3rd shot the last shot (in the next 5-10 years let’s say)? These are my questions as a young/healthy person
