How much of an advantage does vaxxed and boosted have?

I was wondering if being vaxxed and boosted still has a big advantage over unvaxxed, now that most unvaxxed will have been infected and have some "natural immunity".

The answer is YES YES YES, beyond my wildest imagining. Unvaxxed people over 50 are 14x more likely to die of COVID than vaxxed and boosted.

And staying current matters, people with the original series only are 3x more likely to die from COVID than people who have been boosted.

The Pfizer and Moderna BA.5 boosters are coming out this month, I'd recommend getting one around October even if, like me, you had a booster just a couple months ago.
