“The antibody response after boosting is fundamentally different than it was before. It's not just raising the level of the existing antibodies, it's doing a lot more than that. Calling the third shot a booster is oversimplifying.”
This was a vague part of her last post from a “study” from a “lab”. I could not access.

BBC has a similar story which it calls sending your immune system to school! "Fighting coronavirus is something your immune system has to learn.
One option is to figure it out on the job when you encounter the virus for real. However, there is a risk of getting it wrong and ending up seriously ill.
Vaccines are more like a school - a safer environment to further your immune system's Covid education.
The first dose is the primary school education that nails the fundamentals.
Your second and third doses are comparable to sending your immune system to secondary school and then university to dramatically deepen its understanding. It's not just repeating primary school over and over.
"The immune system is left with a richer knowledge and understanding of the virus," said Prof Jonathan Ball, a virologist from the University of Nottingham."
Yeah, that was puzzling to me. The plots (which are posted with very little context) appeared to show that boosting produced reaction to Omicron that was not previously present. One thing I wondered was whether they took a sample just prior to boosting, or they were relying on a long previous sample as the prior. Because one possible explanation for that data is that the subjects had been exposed to Omicron without knowing it, and developed additional AB coverage. It's just hard to figure out why the ABs produced would be substantially different on the third injection. Higher titers makes sense, but a different population?

This sounds like some serious horseshit.

I am not a virologist but I can smell horseshit.

Honestly I don’t know what data we can trust anymore.
