“Prior infection with Omicron granted stronger protection: it was 79.7% effective at preventing BA.4 and BA.5 reinfection and 76.1% effective at preventing symptomatic reinfection.” I feel like the time to be more nuanced may be upon us. People are generally aware that infection grants some levels of immunity. But it’s not a simple probability distribution or something like a score card or political poll. You can see how many antibodies people produce to BA.4/5 with whatever they had previously. And of course time is a factor. Numbers I saw some time ago were every new lineage seems to halve the number of antibodies produced (per a John Campbell video) as a trendline. Though I am grateful the medical professionals are still keeping an eye on this despite whatever cultural trends may seem. Wonder if we’ll ever see some retrospectives and changes made so a future pandemic doesn’t hit the globe and nations/regions so unprepared. At least take peoples temperature more often and the sick to stay home. It’d help if it weren’t a personal resource expense to simply not bring a cold/flu to work. Ie don’t have that use personal leave time.
