Incorrect. There is no evidence of reduction in efficacy against severe illness or death.
As Paul Offit said in the New York Times article that I linked and quoted above, which you clearly didn't bother to read:
> Boosters are likely to provide the best protection against infection with Omicron. But for most healthy young people, the original two-shot series — or one dose of Johnson and Johnson — should be sufficient to prevent hospitalization and death, Dr. Offit said. If that’s the purpose of vaccination, then “these vaccines continue to hold up,” Dr. Offit said.

The benefit of boosters for the young is unproven -- likely zero. The harm is proven, and non-zero.
