See thread, explaining new study: much higher transmissibility for Omicron on top of antibody evasion causing more breakthroughs and re-infections. Do note that even if milder due to immunity and/or lesser intrinsic virulence, still crucial especially for elderly to get boosters.https://twitter.com/mugecevik/status/1471088936999137281 …

I'm hearing a lot of reports that, especially for elderly people, negotiating a booster is a problem in many states, with little appointment availability. The bottleneck seems to be logistics and staffing, not supply. At a personal level, check on your loved ones and neighbors!

You mean a bit like the flu? Maybe. Miraculous isn't it? Five minutes in a pharmacy and you have the upper hand against this virus, and in a better position than humans have ever been against infectious diseases. I'm in awe of such scientific achievements.https://twitter.com/cavallario/status/1471126023400050693 …

Great thread here on booster studies and existing data.https://twitter.com/Richvn/status/1471134533877743629 …

A similar trajectory is possible here. UK is experiencing highest recorded number of cases *throughout the whole pandemic*. Rather than arguing over “mildness”, we should take steps now to mitigate the most plausible risks. More is different; faster is different.https://twitter.com/alexselby1770/status/1471154053031899145 …

When will we know how much immunity drops after 3rd booster? I.e does 3rd provide lasting higher protection or is there a time decay of 6 months like with 2nd shot

What evidence? It could be a two-dose regimen with infinity boosters.

should elderly/immunocompromised seek their "booster" (4th shot) sooner than 6 mos?

And people won't swallow this constant moving of the goalposts. Trust has been eroded.
