Interesting...meanwhile in Norway they don&#x27;t recommend anyone aged 12-64 to get a booster unless they have &quot;Severe underlying conditions&quot;<p>Booster doses<p>The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) recommends that the following groups should take a booster dose of coronavirus vaccine before the coming autumn&#x2F; winter season:<p><pre><code> adults aged 65 years and above adults aged 18-64 years with underlying risk of a severe disease course adolescents aged 12-17 years with severe underlying conditions pregnant women in their second and third trimesters </code></pre> (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fhi.no&#x2F;en&#x2F;id&#x2F;vaccines&#x2F;coronavirus-immunisation-programme&#x2F;coronavirus-vaccine&#x2F;#booster-doses" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fhi.no&#x2F;en&#x2F;id&#x2F;vaccines&#x2F;coronavirus-immunisation-p...</a>)

According to a preprint from the Harvard (!) Center for Virology and Vaccine Research [1], there seems to be no difference in BA.5 antibody responses between the old&#x2F;monovalent and new&#x2F;bivalent vaccines.<p>Also worth mentioning that BA.5 is not the dominant strain in the US anymore [2].<p>Mandating the bivalent Omicron-specific COVID-19 booster seems highly questionable.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biorxiv.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;10.1101&#x2F;2022.10.24.513619v1.full" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biorxiv.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;10.1101&#x2F;2022.10.24.513619v1....</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnbc.com&#x2F;2022&#x2F;11&#x2F;25&#x2F;covid-omicron-bq-variants-dominant-xbb-circulating-at-low-level.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnbc.com&#x2F;2022&#x2F;11&#x2F;25&#x2F;covid-omicron-bq-variants-do...</a>

I received my first booster at the end of 2021, and then I got Covid (presumably Omicron) over the summer. I&#x27;m certainly not anti-vax, but I&#x27;d be annoyed if I were mandated to get the bivalent booster after recently getting Covid. For both my 2nd and 3rd shots my reactions were pretty strong (was down for the count for 48 hours with high fever, headache and chills), so I wouldn&#x27;t be looking forward to wasting a weekend feeling miserable for exceedingly marginal benefit.

Why? Do they mandate flu shots too? By this point everyone I know is just living their life as normal and has accepted there&#x27;s a new seasonal disease. It&#x27;s not the end of the world, doubly so since students tend to be young obviously.<p>The amount of people with multiple boosters etc. that have gotten COVID I know is also insane. The efficacy cannot be anywhere near what was claimed, or has deteriorated since for sure. I&#x27;m not just misunderstand statistics, there&#x27;s just _too many_ people I know like that for that to be the case.<p>As an anecdotal data point though: I got COVID once a year ago and have been perfectly fine otherwise. No long term condition, nothing. Just 3 days of flu like symptoms, but worse. Without the vaccine.

As others said the booster doesnt seem to be much different than previous vaccines, and overall they are all low efficacy against infection.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ecdc.europa.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;publications-data&#x2F;interim-analysis-covid-19-vaccine-effectiveness-healthcare-workers-ecdc-multi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ecdc.europa.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;publications-data&#x2F;interim-anal...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.science.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1126&#x2F;science.abq1841" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.science.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1126&#x2F;science.abq1841</a><p>However, there is a worrying stream of research indicating that covid outcomes are worse than we generally think they are, even in mild infections.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onlinelibrary.wiley.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1002&#x2F;jmv.28187" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onlinelibrary.wiley.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1002&#x2F;jmv.28187</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41590-021-01113-x" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41590-021-01113-x</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;publications.aap.org&#x2F;pediatrics&#x2F;article&#x2F;150&#x2F;5&#x2F;e2022058167&#x2F;188743&#x2F;COVID-19-and-Acute-Neurologic-Complications-in" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;publications.aap.org&#x2F;pediatrics&#x2F;article&#x2F;150&#x2F;5&#x2F;e20220...</a>?<p>And every reinfection seems to make it worse, so this thing should not be allowed to become &#x27;endemic&#x27;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41591-022-02051-3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nature.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;s41591-022-02051-3</a><p>So it seems like other, more effective measures to reduce infections are more likely to keep people healthy rather than trying to reduce the severity of symptoms (which is what vaccines do atm)

&gt; Individuals are eligible for the booster 2 months after their last booster or 3 months after their most recent COVID infection.<p>Folks trying to avoid the vaccine are simply going to produce recent COVID +ve test reports, right? I wonder if some will actively seek out getting infected by the actual virus (!) to bypass this.<p>EDIT: Worse, imagine seeking out someone already infected, catching the virus from them, then getting COVID -ve reports from all labs because some unique strains aren&#x27;t caught? That&#x27;d be a story.

No one ever said the original vax prevented against transmission. This has always been a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The effectiveness of the original is augmented by ongoing boosters, it is not an indication that the original didn&#x27;t prevent severe illness. The saddest part is that these anti-science people are the most at risk. Myocarditis and other side effects are extremely rare. In 90% cases people will experience no symptoms, but getting the ouchie protects those at most at risk. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rollingstone.com&#x2F;culture&#x2F;culture-news&#x2F;justin-bieber-ramsay-hunt-covid-vaccine-1367430&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rollingstone.com&#x2F;culture&#x2F;culture-news&#x2F;justin-bie...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msn.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;health&#x2F;medical&#x2F;cdc-director-covid-vaccines-cant-prevent-transmission-anymore&#x2F;ar-AASDndg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msn.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;health&#x2F;medical&#x2F;cdc-director-covid-...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.news.com.au&#x2F;technology&#x2F;science&#x2F;human-body&#x2F;yes-they-claimed-the-vaccines-would-prevent-transmission&#x2F;news-story&#x2F;a176eb002c29e603fc29ef9fe0b33b18" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.news.com.au&#x2F;technology&#x2F;science&#x2F;human-body&#x2F;yes-th...</a>

I&#x27;ve had 4 vaccinations and 2 confirmed infections, the most recent one only a couple months ago now.<p>I think I&#x27;m good.

&gt; Vaccines and boosters are the best defense against severe illness from COVID-19...<p>Is there any evidence that suggests vaccines and boosters are a better defense than maintaining a healthy body mass index, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, and spending time outdoors?

I can&#x27;t help thinking that Harvard read the room wrong there. Unvaccinated workers just got re-instated in NY. This looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen for Harvard.

Doesnt Harvard receive $m of gifts per annum. Could that influence them??. Such as ... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gatesfoundation.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;committed-grants&#x2F;2019&#x2F;09&#x2F;inv002164" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gatesfoundation.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;committed-grants&#x2F;2019&#x2F;...</a> hmmm <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2009&#x2F;03&#x2F;04&#x2F;business&#x2F;04pfizer.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2009&#x2F;03&#x2F;04&#x2F;business&#x2F;04pfizer.html</a>
