I like the spin where it isn’t OAS that’s the issue, but how the WT mRNA vaccine was so spectacular, that upgraded shots were never needed to begin with. I haven’t seen the study, but how would naive omicron variant vaccinees fare? I believe that is the main issue here.

The folks who performed the study have existing COVID-19 vaccine patents. The study (perhaps conveniently for the patent holders) only tests whether "boosting" with Omicron specific vaccines would provide a benefit to those subjects who already received 2 doses of mRNA-1273 (eg. Moderna). They didn't test how effective the mRNA-1273.529 (Omicron) specific vaccines were when given to the subjects on their own (at least not in this study).
