People who get both Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and booster shot have high protection levels against the Omicron variant, a new study out of South Africa says.
The study released Thursday in pre-print has yet to be peer-reviewed but is promising news for those who received the one-dose vaccine six to nine months ago and who also get a booster from the company.
Protection against hospitalization jumped from 63 percent to 85 percent after a second J&J shot, according to the study conducted in November and December among 69,000 vaccinated health care workers.
“This data is important given the increased reliance on the [Johnson & Johnson] vaccine in Africa,” the authors wrote, who conducted the research in 350 vaccination centers across all nine South African provinces. The study also says data reveals “the ability of Omicron to escape antibody neutralization after a single dose.”
“This adds to our growing body of evidence which shows that the effectiveness of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine remains strong and stable over time, including against circulating variants such as Omicron and Delta,” said Mathai Mammen, the global head of Janssen Research & Development, which Johnson & Johnson owns.

Apparently, COVID-19 causes so many asymptomatic people who suddenly crash with symptoms because COVID-19 suppresses the creation of the interferon protein, which signals the innate immune system to begin attacking the virus.
Children have low COVID-19 infection and hospitalization rates because their bodies "pre-activate" interferon in their lower bronchial tubes as a natural viral defense in the young (this goes away as they get older).
Coupling this with other Medcram videos about hot/cold treatment to self-activate interferon production, it seems like a good idea to try to boost my interferon levels manually by soaking in my backyard hot tub a few times a week to "pre-stage" my innate immune system to be on the lookout for a COVID-19 infection, and possibly attack it during the 5-day asymptomatic incubation period.

The dominant strain here in Hellinois is reported as being the Omicron variant, responsible for more than 70% of all cases. I'm hoping this is the last 'variant' given all the mutations, the high tranmissibility and the ultra-low mortality rate. If we're going to get to herd immunity, this appears to my untrained eye to be the variant that finally gets us there.
“J&J vaccine and booster provide high protection against Omicron: study”
would you like to supersize those blood clots?
Friends in high places who know that you are on FR and so would any FBI who are also monitoring or perhaps working with some of your “friends in high places”.
Take any info from them with a grain of salt. January 6 was a false flag and who knows what mischief the deep state types would like to do with Freepers!
Yes Deep state...you may consider this a querying “fart” in your general direction.(not to you H.Cankles)
