Cleveland Clinic: More Boosters? More Likely to Get COVID-19

A study conducted on the effectiveness of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine has surprised many at the Cleveland Clinic. The organization studied its employees to determine how the new bivalent vaccines stack up against some of the more prevalent COVID strains in circulation. The results weren’t what they expected.

The study’s authors admit their surprise that the risk of COVID-19 increases with the number of vaccine doses you receive. They acknowledge that their testing population was primarily young people eligible to receive at least three doses of the shot by the time the study started. Almost half of the individuals in their study chose not to receive more than three doses of the vaccine, and as per Cleveland Clinic, that makes them risk takers; people who failed to follow CDC guidelines, failed to fall in line, and therefore were more risky with their behavior—leading to the assumption that they would be more likely to contract the virus, not less. Despite all of these “risky” behaviors—things like spending time with friends and family unmasked, going out to social events, and not getting vaccinated and boosted, this cohort was less likely to contract COVID than those in the study who were diligent in following orders.

The group that followed orders was more likely to receive all COVID-19 boosters, were more likely to mask and social distance, and were more likely to follow CDC guidelines to a “t,” thus, the assumption would be that they are less likely to be infected, not more.

And the Cleveland Clinic study isn’t the only one that came to this conclusion. In their analysis, the authors even cited three other independent studies that reached the same outcome; the more shots you get, the more likely you are to contract COVID. Commentary about one of the other cited studies reads: “During an Omicron wave in Iceland, individuals who had previously received two or more doses were found to have higher odds of reinfection than those who had received fewer than two doses of vaccine.” It also references another study that found “…in multivariable analysis, that receipt of two or three doses of an mRNA vaccine following prior COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of reinfection than receipt of a single dose.”

"failed to follow CDC guidelines, failed to fall in line..was less likely to contract COVID"

That's what's called following the science.

That’s why Fauci himself kept on getting reinfected, the President got reinfected, staff members like his former press secretary got reinfected, and other well known leftist individuals in the public eye got reinfected. They were all vaccinated up their eyeballs.

A ship of fools.

So, following CDC guidance wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Anybody from Cleveland Clinic tell the CDC this little factoid?

I suspect that the Vax Shill Bots will be all over this MISINFORMATION from a mickey mouse organization like Cleveland Clinic post haste!!

My wife has been much sicker and has had covid twice since getting her two shots and one booster. She now regrets ever falling for all the lies. As for me, I had a very mild case of covid once and never took the needle. I’ve had no problems since and didn’t take any precautions the two times my wife had covid.

Since the majority of booster-receivers are left wing, I say keep on keepin’ on.

chose not to receive more than three doses...that makes them risk takers

If three isn't enough, how many does the CDC want people to take?

Researchers need to realize science is following what the government and big business tells them. The scientific method is obsolete.

Yeah, my dad is like that too. Every booster that comes out, he’s first in line for. When he found out I had decided not to get the vaccine, he skipped any pretense at logic and went straight to emotional manipulation and bullying.

Even my doctor agreed that, with my tendency to react badly to things, I was better off not getting the shot. But dad spent days moaning about how he had to plan my funeral just because I wouldn’t take the shot with him.

Oh, don’t be a witless guttersnipe; the operative term was “MOST”; not “ALL.”

Wouldn’t surprise me if they get called out. They could get the dubious distinction of being dragged through the coals by the likes of those shills on CNN.

Oh, how sad.

I’m sorry for both of you. :-(
