This headline should have read "New boosters just as effective as previous boosters."
Instead, the editor chose a negative framing.
@peterquirk it’s also just wrong. the new boosters aren’t any more effective with the newer variants than the old ones were with the older variants, but the older ones are ostensibly ineffective with the new variants. It’s like saying kevlar vests are useless because they won’t stop a knife; they’re not for knives, they’re for bullets.
I stopped taking Bloomberg seriously as a news source in 2020 when they started regularly platforming eugenicists. Their takes have only gotten worse since.
@deadweirdo You are absolutely right. I focused on the first order effect of the negative framing because many people won't read beyond the headline.
