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The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, indicated that the B.1.351 variant of the virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—was found eight times more than individuals who were unvaccinated, or 5.4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.
Well, gee. Who didn’t see this coming?
Reading several reports about this overnight. So people who rushed out to get the vaccine, need to be quarantine, but the rest of us, without the vaccine, get back to our lives.
Between Dr. Ouchy and the Center for Democrat Control it is all fake news to me.
Who becomes the planned ‘superspreaders’?
Why was it allowed?
Why was FauXi allowed to make the Bioweapon?
Why does the MSM praise him for it?
Why does Gates praise him for it?
“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.”
Note how they don’t say how less effective.
The effect is minuscule, as is tacitly acknowledged, albeit non-overtly, in the article:
“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.”
Ask any health care professional if their vaccine of choice will protect against any current variants and new and different strains as they emerge.
If they say yes, they are lying. If they say no, then what’s the point?
Best of both is having had the disease and recovered naturally.
Much broader and more robust immunity.
Taking this vaccine might suppress your own body’s ability to fight viruses on its own.
Right be analogous to taking antihistamine nasal spray too frequently. Or taking too much antacid for an upset stomach. Your body’s own ability to regulate histamine levels or acid levels in the stomach is put out of balance and you end up with a stuffy nose or an even more acidic stomach.
naive idiots view it as “breaking the vaccines protection”
non-idiots view it as “the vaccine making it easier for the new variant to infect/affect them”
ACLU has gottencourts to agree that you can’t quarantine people (with Ebola).
If non-vax people aren’t as at riskof South Africa virus, they/we should stay home to protect the at risk vaxed crowd. Be a hero. < /sarc >
Sheesh! Sloppy editing!

Nature will find a way.
And if Mama Nature doesn’t, the ChiComs and/or Deep State will.
Embrace the suck.

Kill switch.. ya mean the ‘Great Reset’ button?
Activated via chemtrails maybe.. fluoride, reality TV, absentee ballots.. 8-?
Bill Gates has been supportive of atmospheric modification for a long time. Geoengineering is nothing new.
To save the Erf , you must devise means to do it ‘discreetly’ and in wide swaths and sound intelligent doing it.
Those rascally elites. Who do they think they are anywhere? They can’t even get a giant asteroid to bump into us.. Yet!
Well it’s not that the vaccine makes you MORE susceptible to this strain, it’s just less effective on this random strain compared to others
Some krap was definitely gonna happen with these highly- experimental, rush- rushed injections. Gotta admit this, this particular krap wasn’t in my prediction horizon. Maybe the government will next require some sort of universal surgeries, or?
I figured the claim that the vaccines would make one more susceptible to future strains... was a whacky theory. Guess it wasn’t.

COVID-19 reduces fertility in men, study suggests
COVID-19 may negatively affect sperm quality and reduce fertility in men, and the magnitude of that effect may depend on the severity of disease, researchers reported.
The researchers reported that at baseline and during subsequent follow-ups, the COVID-19 group showed significantly higher levels of seminal plasma ACE2 enzyme, as well as higher levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in sperm — including interleukin (IL) 1-beta, IL-6, IL8, IL-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferons alpha and gamma. They also had higher levels of reactive oxygen species and lower superoxide dismutase activity compared with healthy controls.
The markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in sperm cells of men with COVID-19 were increased by more than 100% compared with controls, according to the researchers. Sperm concentration was reduced by 516%, mobility by 209% and sperm cell shape was altered by 400%.
Although these effects tended to improve over time — representing “a transient state of male subfertility like those with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia” — the researchers wrote they remained “significantly and abnormally higher in the COVID-19 patients, and the magnitude of these changes were also related to disease severity.”
