“A major misconception is that the vaccines are holding steady to protect against severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths,” Topol wrote Monday in the Guardian. “They are not. When a booster was given during the Delta wave, that fully restored protection against these outcomes, to the level of 95% effectiveness. But for Omicron, with a booster (or second booster) the protection was approximately 80%. While still high, [that] represents a major, 4-fold” rise in ineffectiveness, from 5% to 20%.

Extrapolate this fourfold reduction in protection to the entire U.S. population — roughly 70% of which is unboosted, including 20 million seniors — and it means more tragic outcomes, especially if COVID is allowed to spread unchecked. In Massachusetts, one of America’s most vaccinated states, hospitalizations are up 56% over the last two weeks — which is when BA.2.12.1 overtook BA.2 to become dominant. ICU numbers are up 97%."

To me, this is further confirmation that lenz needs to be administered in cases of breakthrough infections.
