It's less true for Omicron, but the study there looked at transmission in Danish households. Against Delta, vaccinated individuals were much less likely to get infected. Against Omicron, boosted individuals are less likely to get infected, and vaccinated are similar to unvaccinated.

    Not commenting on the particular issue/article, but can we dispense with blind faith in pre-prints as gospel and final instance of truth? "This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice." Consider all pre-prints complete bunk until proven otherwise. Anyone can publish whatever they want to support whatever conclusion they want in a pre-print.

      I object to your characterization of my posting the link as "blind faith", and that I have somehow adopted it as gospel. It's an analysis of an interesting data set and the conclusion isn't unreasonable.
