Adding two blank spaces (before and after) to Mastodon's address, I was able to review it on Twitter:
[ A new CDC study of non-immunocompromised adults finds that receiving a bivalent Covid booster dose (after 2, 3, or 4 monovalent doses) reduced the risk of hospitalization by 57% compared with being unvaccinated and by 45% compared with being unboosted. ]
