[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roll up your sleeves for a 4th booster, or will some of you wake up to the fact that boosters do not prevent transmission?

"In the fall, officials say, Americans of all ages, including anyone who gets a booster this spring, should get another shot." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/25/us/politics/biden-second-booster-shot-older-americans.html

You know what comes next, a mandate for the 4th. If that is the recommendation, colleges will mandate again.

Seniors, choose your college carefully if this matters to you.[/quote]

Who is saying they prevent transmission?  It is hospitalization and serious illness.   [/quote]
A mandate only makes sense if there is benefit against transmission.

There is literally zero age-stratified data showing a benefit against severe disease for college students because they are already protected from severe disease by the initial series. The booster trial had no hospitalization or death in the placebo group.[/quote]
