In neutralization assays, @BalazsLab observes only a 4-fold or 6-fold reduction in titer going from wild-type to Omicron after booster relative to 43-fold or 122-fold after initial mRNA vaccine series (https://t.co/EuHC1fuHWP). 4/14 pic.twitter.com/AidMZkxzUd

Under existing control measures, we project a wave of infections resulting from Omicron that exceeds the January 2021 levels, for all four scenarios.

I wanted to share one more figure from the #Omicron pre-print that I think offers some additional support for the idea that mRNA boosting doesn't just increase the total neutralizing response but instead "broadens" it to enable Omicron neuralization: pic.twitter.com/WPejn0d0ro
