"MAJORITY of Americans vaccinated with bivalent Covid shot are NOT protected against falling ill, CDC report into new XBB.1.5 variant suggests — despite US paying $5bn for updated vaccines"

they both say the same thing: “ The CDC highlighted that the main purpose of the vaccines is to prevent hospitalization and death rather than transmission,”
the reason the discription of the vaccine has been modifed is because the virus keeps mutating immunity evasion. That goes for vaccine immunity and for acquired immunity. Surely you’ve heard of unvaccinated folks saying they’ve caught covid more than once, with the second time being worse.
What is cheeky about the DM article is, it implies ‘americans’ when the same bivalent is administered in the UK, too. Not sure what the UK paid, tho.
“Jan 11, 2023 · In the UK these bivalent vaccines began to be administered to clinically vulnerable people and adults over 50 in the autumn of 2022 .”
