One day everyone will recognize #selectionbias due to a #collider and the world will be a better place.
This time observational studies found a higher risk of omicron reinfection after a 3rd dose of #COVID19 vaccine. As usual, alarms went off.
Can you see the obvious bias?

Those who receive a booster and get infected are, on average, more susceptible to infection than those who don't receive a booster and get infected.
So no surprise than those who receive a booster and get infected are more likely to get reinfected.

... we described the bias @bmj_latest with simulations + real data.
We show that a vaccine booster will be associated with higher reinfection risk even if the booster has no harmful effect.
Now the good news: Preventing this #selectionbias is easy...
