BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): The study was done at a transitional time in the epidemic, so its current relevance is not too clear.

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): That's it. Where's the "abrogation", you might wonder. It's in the lack of difference between day 60 and day 0 for the recently infected, forgetting that something happened in the immune system since everyone saw more Abs at day 30. → https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/156693960876763955202:06
BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): You might wonder why the authors would choose a title that says "Recent SARS-CoV-2 infection abrogates *antibody* and B-cell responses to booster vaccination" when the booster did induce more antibodies (transiently), but you'd have to ask the authors that → https://twitter.com/michaelzlin/status/156694077220874649602:15

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): So are 2x vaxxed then infected then boosted really any worse off than 2x vaxxed then boosted?

BrainstormNew from COVID on Twitter: Michael Lin, MD PhD   (@michaelzlin): And NIH guidance is to suggest waiting 3mo after infection, based on a study finding ≥3mo between infection and vaccination was slightly better than <3mo.
