Just a reminder to start with:
So now we know for sure that the boosters are also—wrong:
The Updated mRNA COVID Boosters Are a Bust, Two New Studies Show
The new, heavily promoted mRNA booster shots from Pfizer and Moderna are not all they’re cracked up to be, according to two new preprint studies.
The boosters perform no better against Omicron than the fourth jab with the original formulation,” a new study from scientists at Columbia University in New York City found. The updated Covid-19 booster shots have been advertised as “bivalent,” meaning they target the original coronavirus strain as well as the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 subvariants.
However, the Columbia paper found that the newer Omicron variants easily evade both types of boosters, Alex Berenson reported on Substack.
The report strongly suggests anyone who received mRNA shots should hope the next Sars-Cov-2 variants remain mild as the current Omicron variants, because those folks will have very little protection from future Sars-Cov-2 variants going forward.
In other words: immune imprinting and original mRNA vaccine antigenic sin are real, and they’re spectacular (spectacularly bad).
About the only good news in the study actually comes from vaccine failure. People who had three shots and then were infected with Omicron had markedly higher antibody levels than people who received either booster.
The boosters were reportedly authorized for human use based on data from eight baby mice.
The Columbia scientists acknowledged that their findings “may be indicative of immunological imprinting,” a phenomenon in which an initial exposure to a virus by infection or vaccination limits a person’s future immune response against new variants.

The good news is that people seem to have caught on to the, um, disinformation. The boosters are falling flat. People simply not getting shot up with them.
It's going to be a fair amount of time before anyone admits liability. In the 80s the NHS bought dodgy blood products from the American market. The blood had been drawn from prisoners and drug addicts. Thousands of people were infected with HIV and Hep C. Many died. Others were shunned by society. The survivors have lived with the consequences for nearly 40 years. Liability was only admitted a few years ago and compensation awarded just recently.
