Quote: "Based on the correlates of protection against new Omicron BA.4/5 infections, protection was lower and shorter after a third/booster vaccination, but higher and longer after breakthrough infection, especially among younger individuals."
Alasdair Munro@apsmunro1 Dec 2022
Wonderful study from @drdavideyre et al using @ONS infection survey data After 2x vaccine, infection or booster vaccine increase protection vs BA.4/5 Waning is rapid after boosters but highly durable after infection Hybrid immunity is most durable medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The big idea: Should we give people diseases in order to learn how to cure them?

With the right ethical safeguards, could ‘challenge trials’ defend against future pandemics?
