See, this is why most people no longer trust the news (or CDC for that matter) with health information. The headline says: "Omicron boosters probably aren’t very effective against mild Covid illness, but will likely prevent hospitalizations, experts say" Then directly underneath it, it literally says: "The study did not look at hospitalization, but experts believe the shots will provide strong protection against severe outcomes."
