JERUSALEM, Jan 9 (Reuters) - The Omicron-adapted COVID-19 vaccine booster developed by Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) and BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE) sharply reduced hospitalizations among older patients, Israeli researchers said on Monday, in some of the first evidence of the jab's real-world effectiveness.

It found an 81% reduction in hospitalizations among people aged 65 and older who had received the booster against those who had previously received at least two COVID vaccinations, but not the Omicron-adapted shot.

The study was carried out from the end of September until mid-December and looked at 622,701 people aged 65 and over who were eligible for the bivalent booster. Among them, 85,314, or 14%, had received it.

All vaccines must be voluntary and no federal mandates.

The clot shot cuts hospitalization in those over 65 because it increases the trips directly to the morgue.

Too bad the report didn't include a baseline for the unvaxxed as well as vaxxed but not boosted.

Maybe it wasn’t the “booster” that kept them out of hospital, but
1) milder variant
2) herd immunity from prior exposures plus injections
3) those are are wise enough to research and use early treatments they can stockpile at home

In the land of half truths, behind a wall of lobbyists and paid for legal immunity, stands Pfizer and the NWO.

another Bee-Ess study: All please note the buried lead.

“The study by researchers from healthcare provider Clalit, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Sapir College has not yet been peer reviewed.”

not a clinical trial, 2 months only, no breakdown of pre-existing conditions, no citation of paper in study. etc.

The only studies I trust these days are from witch doctors—at least they are not bribed by Big Pharma!

That was my first thought.

Pfizer is working feverously to create the 16th and 17th booster jabs, to be issued in 2027.

Keep those billions of dollars flowing into the Big Pharma coffers.

They’ve been stating this since the inception of the MRNa “vaccine”. If it worked we wouldn’t be discussing it 3 years after the release.

It’s not a vaccine if you need to take it 2-3 times per year and it doesn’t stop covid. I’m beyond fed up with this Covid crap...

The Covid “vaccine” timeline:

1-—You won’t get Covid if you get vaccinated
2-—You won’t spread covid if you get vaccinated
3-—You’re saving lives by getting vaccinated
4-—You can get covid if you get vaccinated, but you can’t spread it.
5-—You can get and spread Covid if you get vaccinated, but it’s rare
6-—You can get, spread and possibly be hospitalized if you get vaccinated, but it won’t be as bad
7-—You won’t get severe illness if you get vaccinated.
8-—You can die of Covid but You have a lower chance of dying if you get vaccinated
9-—You need to get the boosters to have a lower chance of dying from Covid.
