A study from Tel Aviv University found that a South African variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus affects people vaccinated with the Pfizer shot more than unvaccinated people.
The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, indicated that the B.1.351 variant of the virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—was found eight times more than individuals who were unvaccinated, or 5.4 percent against 0.7 percent. Clalit Health Services, a top Israeli health-care provider, also helped in the study.
“We found a disproportionately higher rate of the South African variant among people vaccinated with a second dose, compared to the unvaccinated group,” said Adi Stern of Tel Aviv University. “This means that the South African variant is able, to some extent, to break through the vaccine’s protection.”
The study looked at 400 people who received at least one shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and had contracted the COVID-19 variant and compared them to the same number of people who were infected and unvaccinated. Moderna’s vaccine is also used in Israel, but it was not included in the study.
“It is the first in the world to be based on real-world data, showing that the vaccine is less effective against the South Africa variant, compared to both the original virus and the British variant,” said Professor Ran Balicer, director of research at Clalit, according to news reports.
Stern said the study’s findings came as a surprise.
“Based on patterns in the general population, we would have expected just one case of the South African variant, but we saw eight,” Stern told the Times of Israel. “Obviously, this result didn’t make me happy.” He added, “Even if the South African variant does break through the vaccine’s protection, it has not spread widely through the population.”
He continued: “These preliminary findings necessitates close continued attention to the dissemination of this strain in Israel, emphasizing the need for epidemiological monitoring and systematic sequencing, in order to contain further spread of the South African variant in Israel.”
The South African variant accounted for less than one percent of all COVID-19 cases in Israel, reported AFP, citing the study.
“This means that the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine, though highly protective, probably does not provide the same level of protection against the South African (B.1.351) variant of the coronavirus,” the study said.
Israel, separately, has rolled out a so-called “vaccine passport” system that allows people who have been vaccinated privileges over individuals who are not vaccinated. Such systems have been criticized by civil liberties groups, saying it would be an infringement on people’s rights, including privacy, and would potentially create a two-tiered class system of vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
The Epoch Times has contacted Pfizer for comment.
Verrrrryyyyyy interesting 🤔
Almost like planned maybe....
I’ve treated it like the cold/flu since day one. i.e. I’ll worry about it once I get it. But even then, I’ll work on getting Ivermectin.
Fine, I get it and die or, I get it and recover. Either way, I am done with it.
We’re these people sick? Probably not.
Does anybody still read this crap?
If only the suckers who victimized themselves with the experimental treatment that made it easier for the new variant to infect them had recourse against the manufacturer. Oh, that’s right, these governments illegally indemnified the manufacturers.
Ridiculous. That's not what the study says.
A higher proportion of cases in the vaccinated group are the SA variant because they're almost completely protected from the other strains.
Their rate of infection overall, including the SA ones, is still much lower than in the unvaccinated.
The study does not say that vaccinated people are more likely than unvaccinated people to get B.1.351.
What it says is that, IN THE SMALL NUMBER OF VACCINATED PEOPLE WHO GET INFECTED, B.1.351 is more common than B.1.1.7 or the Wuhan strain, whereas, in the MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF INFECTIONS AMONG UNVACCINATED PEOPLE, the Wuham strain and B.1.1.7 remain the most common.
The vaxiphiles who are shilling for big pharma.
Although maybe they really did, and that was the point.
What better way of getting rid of those pesky conservatives than signing onto FR and pushing the vaccine in the hopes that FReepers will be duped into getting it.
The article is poorly written - really crap! - but the headline seems to be saying that Virus Variant Affects Vaccinated People More Than [It Affects] Unvaccinated People.
So, an equal number of vaccinated and unvaccinated people who are then exposed to this variant will NOT then contract it at equal rates - rather, the vaccinated test persons will contract it EIGHT TIMES more often than the unvaccinated.
Again, its very poorly written, so all bets are off.
Regards,
That would make sense. But do you agree with me that the article does an extremely poor job of explaining that?
That, e.g., the headline suggests just the opposite - the you're better off UNvaccinated?
Regards,
I follow the numbers carefully.
Since 1 April, Oklahoma has reported no deaths to the Worldometers data. The problem with that is the last week of March they reported about 25 deaths per day on average, 26 on March 31. Then suddenly, 0, each day of April. This corrupts the national data. Makes it look more favorable.
But even with these shenanigans, the death count per day slope downward is not steepening. Despite millions of vaccinations, it is not steepening downward. In fact, it is getting more shallow. It looks no different from about 1 year ago, when there were no vaccinations at all. The slope is the same as January, when there were nearly no vaccinations out.
What can cause this? Vaccination failure of some sort. Or mutants that defeat the vaccinations. There do exist reports of patients who have been fully vaccinated dying, but they tend to get aggressively attacked.
Regardless, as of now the average daily death count in the US is about 35% higher than the low point of about July last year. And that’s with Oklahoma missing.
Do you mean were they sick, with underlying conditions...or, sick from the China flu?
Not clear on what you’re asking :-)
What better way of getting rid of those pesky conservatives than signing onto FR and pushing the vaccine in the hopes that FReepers will be duped into getting it.
Sadly....many FReepers have already been duped :-(
LOL
ROTFLMAO
suckers
GO get another jab when it’s available suckers
Did they randomly swab 100 people who were vaccinated, and they isolated the virus in their nose, but they weren’t symptomatic.
or
Did these people present to their doctor or hospital sick, and they found the virus. Big difference.
There is a big difference but the PCR test does not isolate the virus.
It detects potential COVID viral fragments, has a 90% false positive rate, and the inventor of the test said it was not a diagnostic tool and should not be used as such.
Exactly right, about the PCR tests/false positives.
Also, keep in mind.....that what FRAUDci, and, even MANY, here on FR have said....is that the “disease is much worse, for many, than the “vax” is, for a few”.
(I do NOT agree w/this statement.)
So, now you have those that have vax’d and are still contracting the disease.
A potential double whammy of complications.
