Even a fourth shot of a COVID-19 vaccine is “not good enough” to prevent Omicron, according to a preliminary study in Israel.

The metrics will be changed. They will stop calling it 3rd booster, 4th booster etc. It will be called yearly booster vs every 6 months booster and the new studies and news articles will eventually reflect that.

All the Israeli study did was compare the effects of a 4th shot (2nd booster) as compared to just having 3 shots (one booster).

But while Omicron may put up more of a fight, existing vaccines have still been shown to work when it comes to preventing hospitalization and symptomatic disease.

In a technical briefing on Omicron on December 31, the U.K. Health Security Agency (HSA) cited the results of two studies that looked at the risk of Omicron hospitalization in vaccinated versus unvaccinated people. According to the briefing: "Both studies find a substantial reduction in risk of hospitalisation for Omicron cases after 3 doses of vaccine compared to those who are unvaccinated."

More recently on January 13 the U.K. HSA published data on vaccine effectiveness against Omicron over time, clearly showing how the vaccines plus boosters offer protection against serious illness with Omicron at least in the short term. Graphs outlining the data can be seen below.

No - I got the 2 moderna and am done.   I took one for the team at the office because they are obese and I live around a bunch of liberal hypochondriacs.   No booster.   F that.  Why?  No need for a booster.  None whatsoever.
