What if there was something that reduced Covid deaths by 96% and hospitalizations by 93%, consistently across all age groups 18+, during both the Delta and Omicron waves?

There is. It's called a booster shot. pic.twitter.com/bjubeBJpT9

So what did they find? Researchers documented large antibody responses after the administration of the booster, with antibody levels that EXCEEDED levels documented after natural infection with COVID- 19, after two doses of vaccine, or after both natural infection AND vaccination pic.twitter.com/6eEknii9ij

From @abcnews why I’m on the same page with Tony Fauci: boosters to not only prevent hospitalizations and deaths but also data from Israel and elsewhere showing covid vaccinations can prevent infection and therefore longCovid. https://t.co/UIBn74ymkm

That Kaplan-Meier curve of breakthrough cases after 3rd dose versus 2nd dose suggest that we start to see efficacy of the 3rd dose around 7 days after vaccination, and that, at this point, the mRNA vaccines are actually a 3 dose series to be "fully vaccinated."#GetVaccinated https://t.co/rgAobDNY5F

Very hard to argue against these data, which look as good (if not better) than the original placebo-controlled trial. 6 vs 123 cases of symptomatic covid19.

These 3rd doses (boosters) work really, really well — and they work fast! https://t.co/OE9qqAx1OT

"Vaccine effectiveness evaluated at least 7 days after receipt of the 3rd dose, compared with receiving only 2 doses at least 5 months ago, was estimated to be 93%…for admission to hospital, 92%…for severe disease & 81% for COVID-19-related death."https://t.co/bLcl1k74hG
