So the VE of 95% is in terms of hospitalizations only which is the only outcome he considers. Probably in terms of hospitalized or not, boosters might not move the needle much *if* boosters waned at a similar rate.

But not everyone thinks of the 3rd shot as a booster but more as the final shot in a 3-dose regimen. If that’s right, there wouldn’t be the same waning after 3 that we see after 2.

If the 3rd shot increased durability, then it reduces hospitalizations over whatever the time-frame to a actual booster (shot #4) would be. That adds up.
Faust also assumes myocarditis rates for 3rd shot = rates for 2nd shots which likely isn't true.

But Faust’s problems are even worse. First, anyone who thinks in terms of hospitalizations has to consider course of illness for the hospitalized. Vaxx-related myocarditis has been more mild & of a shorter course than Covid related myocarditis.

Plus there are other things aside from myocarditis that put people with Covid in the hospital.
Second, the difference between 2.1% & 2.2% %-wise is insignificant but in terms of absolute numbers, even just for the relevant age & gender, over a large population, .1% adds up.

Thanks for alerting me to the Faust article.
