The preprint, which was conducted by researchers with the Cleveland Clinic and has not yet been peer reviewed, analyzed 51,011 "working-aged" employees of the medical center and "found an overall modest protective effect of the bivalent vaccine booster against COVID-19."

While researchers said that COVID boosters were "30% effective in preventing infection," they cautioned that the "effect of multiple COVID-19 vaccine doses on future risk of COVID-19 needs further study."

According to the study, the risk of COVID infection "increased with time since the most recent prior COVID-19 episode and with the number of vaccine doses previously received.

"The higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19," the researchers said.

Noting that the "evolution" of COVID-19 into vaccine-resistant variants "necessitates a more nuanced approach to assessing the potential impact of vaccination than when the original vaccines were developed," the Cleveland Clinic researchers suggested that there are "[a]dditional factors" that ought to be evaluated "beyond vaccine effectiveness."

According to the preprint, one of those factors is an apparent correlation between more jabs and a higher risk of infection.

"The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study, was unexpected," the researchers wrote.

They offered a "simplistic explanation" that individuals who got more jabs may have been in a higher risk cohort to begin with. However, while observing that a "small proportion of individuals may have fit this description," they pointed out "the majority of subjects in this study were generally young individuals and all were eligible to have received at least three doses of vaccine by the study start date, and which they had every opportunity to do."

"Therefore, those who received fewer than three doses (>45% of individuals in the study) were not those ineligible to receive the vaccine but those who chose not to follow the CDC's recommendations on remaining updated with COVID-19 vaccination," the study's authors noted.

Such individuals, the researchers said, might be anticipated to demonstrate "higher [risk taking] behavior." However, they said such an assumption isn't borne out by the data, which actually indicated that less-vaccinated individuals' "risk of acquiring COVID-19 was lower than those who received a larger number of prior vaccine doses."

Cleveland Clinic researchers went on to point out that this isn't "the only study to find a possible association with more prior vaccine doses and higher risk of COVID-19"...
