Agreed. However, the bigger finding is that they don't see effect from non-XBB.1.5 boosters, even in groups that have received several.
The study clearly shows that (a) we need to keep updating boosters, and (b) we need to get them.
The study, emphatically, does not show that vaccines don't work.

Exactly.. the study can’t find any significant difference between “got boosted a year ago” vs “unvaccinated” because there’s baseline widespread immunity from prior infection. If thousands of March 2020 Covid-naive folk walked out of a time capsule today, around 1 out of 200 would die from JN.1
The findings also note however that no protection was found for those who did not take the booster but may have taken older vaccines. So, is that it? Have the newest subvariants outflanked our immune systems completely?
No.
No.
