This research may explain why repeated vaccinations with boosters can increase your risk of infection. If I interpret it correctly, repeated booster vaccinations train your immune system to tolerate the virus much like allergy shots train your immune system to tolerate the allergen. Of course, an allergen isn't a rapidly replicating pathogen.
What you write here for a booster dose of an extinct virus would also apply to the annual flu shot no? With proper precautions, your chances of getting the flu are virtually eliminated. Should you expend whatever T-cells you have for protection against a flu virus which is preventable by using respiratory protection?

Any data on Novavax vs the bi-valent booster? It wasn't updated, and until XBB the company claimed it was still protective.
