To the degree it's news, it's not "good" news, but further research is needed to see just how "bad" it is.

The concern here is if the worse-case scenario turns out to be true: that the mRNA-based vaccines, and especially the boosters, end up training the immune system to tolerate the infection rather than clear it. That would mean a significant fraction of the population are at risk of outcomes ranging from persistent COVID to death, and becoming breeding grounds for more variants in the process.

Hopefully further research rules out that scenario.
