A fourth dose of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine is largely ineffective in stopping Omicron infections despite boosting antibodies, an Israeli hospital study showed.
Healthcare workers at the Sheba Medical Center who received a fourth dose of the vaccine continued to get infected even though blood tests showed an increase in two key kinds of antibodies, according to professor Gili Regev-Yochay who led the research.
The preliminary findings, which are yet to be published, add to the global debate about the effectiveness of repeat doses of the Covid vaccine after booster shots, as some public health experts argue that regular shots are unsustainable in the long term.
Just over 150 members of the Tel Aviv hospital received fourth doses of the Pfizer vaccine, part of an ongoing experiment where thousands of Sheba employees have had regular serology tests — which look for antibodies in blood that fight infection — beginning from before their first doses in December 2020 to track the vaccine’s efficacy.
Enough of them tested positive for coronavirus two weeks after their fourth jabs to indicate that the level of antibodies needed to protect against infection from Omicron was “probably too high” for the vaccine to induce, said Regev-Yochay.

Omicron coverage reveals how the establishment, media keep us scared
https://nypost.com/2021/12/21/omicron-coverage-reveals-how-the-establishment-media-keep-us-scared/
Shots 4. Me-0. We remain “NON GMO”.
For those getting impatient, sit still. The Omicron vaxx is coming in March. Don’t expect anything to work against Omicron until then.
“even though blood tests showed an increase in two key kinds of antibodies”
Antibodies are specific to an antigen. Omicron is not the same antigen as the original virus.
FDA should revoke the EUA for the jabs now, like they did the monoclonal antibodies for that exact same reason.
😂😂
why are they trying to vaccinate for a cold?
Exactly.
Only, you’re suggesting REAL Science, and, these $hills are only using FRAUDci $cience….to the detriment of our citizens.
😡
So obviously a 5th is in order because “science.”
All these jabs … anyone else reminded of the build process for Swamp Castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
New Study Reveals The Relationship Between Drinking Wine And COVID
BY MOLLY HARRIS/JAN. 24, 2022 4:06 PM EST
Those who were paying close attention to a study released by the UK National Health Service might have gotten excited about their latest find. The study’s report showed a correlation between those who consume certain kinds of wine and their likelihood for contracting COVID-19. Though it might be tempting to jump to the conclusion that drinking some wine could help ward off the highly-transmittable virus, that isn’t exactly what the study suggests (via Wine-Searcher).
The study found that those who do not drink at all were more likely to get COVID-19 while those who drink liquor had no more or less of a chance of contracting the virus.
But the key findings were that those who drank 14 glasses of red wine or fewer per week were 10 to 17% less likely to get COVID-19. The same number of glasses of fortified wine reduced the risk by 12%.
Those who drank white wine or Champagne were up to 8% less likely to get the virus. However, it is vital to remember that these figures were reported as correlative patterns, rather than the direct effect of alcohol on COVID-19.
The news might be too good to be true
While wine has long been touted as a heart-healthy beverage in moderation, the World Health Organization has other guidelines for consuming alcohol (via Mayo Clinic).
WHO explains that alcohol actually takes quite a toll on your body’s functions and immune system. In fact, it causes both “short-term and long-term” damage to your health because it affects every organ.
Worst of all, alcohol can increase the chance of acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is a key characteristic of severe COVID-19 illness.
The good news is you may be able to get the same health benefits of red wine by drinking certain kinds of red grape juice, according to the Mayo Clinic. So, if you want to ensure that you are not accidentally exposing your body to an increased risk of sickness, or even more dire side effects of that sickness, you may want to put down that glass of wine and pick up some a cup of juice.
if 1-3 were effective, they wouldn’t need #4???
“why are they trying to vaccinate for a cold?”
Because this isn’t a cold. Today is the first day I was able to pick my head off my pillow and sit up. I spent the last 7 days in a hotel room praying for death. I was able to have a doctor come to my hotel, test me and give me permission to fly. I was positive, but on a good note was past the point of being contagious. I’m still not right.
I’m not an anti-vaxxer, nor am I pro-vaxxer. What I can safely say is the minute this became political it f*&cked up the world. If there is any message that comes from any of this, is when it comes to human health, leave politics at the waters edge. We can make accusations at a later time, but first thing is first, work the problem, get a solution, find the root cause and go from there.
Of course it’s not.
They shouldn’t have gotten into the vax thing in the first place. As God’s most favored nation they probably never consulted Him what they should do and never considered to check out their leadership’s motives.
