I don't know about you, 8% sounds a rounding error and probably within the error margins. It certainly wasn't enough to open the country en-mass like the OP believes.

And now we have the opposite situation with those who have had the most boosters and now more likely to catch the new variant that is out.

This is a classic example of the way conspiracy theorists shift goal posts and demand more and more evidence, while waving away any evidence provided. It's _boring_ to engage with people like you. You have no idea what you're talking about, and demand that people who _do_ know what they're talking about give you an education that you don't actually want. You're just _performing_, you aren't having a genuine conversation with people.

It is not. The study is available for you to review if you like.

I’d like to see that study. Cite, please.

It is not.

Erm yes it is ... from the study:

> In adjusted analyses, we estimated that any vaccination ... reduced an index case’s risk of transmitting infection by 22% (6–36%)

CI is much wider than 8pp and the estimated absolute transmission risk CIs actually overlap at 31%. So the study results are consistent with there being no actual difference, also.

If this is the best evidence of a difference in transmission it's not very good.

Also this is Omicron which hardly matters. The justification was the earlier variants.
