One of the big takeaways for me, personally, was that the push for boosters may be, in part, due to measuring the wrong thing, namely circulating antibodies as a measure of resistance to infection. Even when antibody levels dropped weeks/months later, it seems people still maintained B-cell and T-cell immunity.
From the link:
"A Johns Hopkins study in pre-print shows the importance of T-cell immunity in protection from COVID
-This is an under recognized part of the immune system and absent from much COVID discussion
-T cell immunity is solid against Omicron as it is for Delta"
P.S. - Here's my chance at one of my favorite dad jokes: Why have scientists been researching ants to battle COVID? Because they all have ant-y bodies... :-)
