Pfizer says immunity can drop to 83% within four months in people who got its COVID-19 shot, further bolstering the company case for a booster

The effectiveness of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot can drop to 83.7% within four to six months after getting the second dose of its vaccine. This is the latest indication that vaccine-induced immunity to the virus can wane and some kind of boost may be necessary in the future.

try every 4 months. I took the Johnson and Johnson shot. I wont be doing boosters on any of the other 4 shots. by the time proper research on safety of multipool shots is done this pandemic will be over and natural imunity from catching it will be protecting the population.

My opinion: They should have got the science “right” before putting such a product on the market.

Nothing like being the test group for an unproven product, I guess.

From further on this article:

“We will need a booster eight to 12 months from the second dose,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday, according to a FactSet transcript of the company’s second-quarter earnings call.

Gee, you’d think it was DESIGNED that way to get repeat business!

Just like the virus itself was designed …

… or at least bred, to be more infectious by gain of function research which Congress tried to stop funding but Dr Faulty and his cohorts illegally returned funding to.

At this point the best treatment is to get the shot - get immunity - then get the real thing so your immune system can train against the real thing after the practice test.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The one thing you do NOT want to do is get COVID after being vaccinated. That is the setup for ADE (antibody dependent enhancement). Also, the jabs point immunity towards the specific spike protein you’re being vaccinated with & suppresses your broader innate immunity.

Dr. Malone:

“What is Antibody-dependent Enhancement? Briefly, it’s that the vaccine causes the virus to become more infectious than would happen in the absence of vaccination, would cause the virus to replicate in higher levels, than in the absence of [vaccination].”

“This is the vaccinologist’s worst nightmare. It happened with the respiratory syncytial virus and in the 60’s caused more child deaths in vaccine recipients than unvaccinated. It happened with the dengue fever vaccine. And it’s happened with virtually every other coronavirus vaccine development program, certainly in humans, known in history. And it’s what the vaccinologists like myself have been warning about since the outset is the risk of Antibody-dependent Enhancement.”

As I understand it, they are talking about effectiveness or efficacy, defined as the reduction (compared to the unvaccinated) in bad outcomes (ending up in an ICU or dead). I don’t think they are talking about avoiding being infected. That distinction is important because there have to be tens of millions of Covid Karens who will go into full-fledged apoplexy when they test positive (even if there is very little ill effect on them).

It’d explain why we’re seeing such a spike too. 4 months immunity is practically worthless. At this point the best treatment is to get the shot - get immunity - then get the real thing so your immune system can train against the real thing after the practice test.

It's the exact opposite. The shots are not preparing the immune system at all. Animal tests with these sorts of vaccines result in: (1) seeming increased immune resistance to the bug, (2) but as soon as the real bug from nature is introduced, the results are catastrophic.

Unless you're really unhealthy, you will survive the real thing easy. Getting vaxxed will increase the odds of a catastrophic outcome. Hence the 80-90% of hospitalized people in Israel being fully vaxxed even though this so-called Delta variant is probably even less harmful than the alpha.

Sort of like only selling light bulbs that quickly burn out.

Sort of like buying crap made in china or in this case, the alleged protection from it.

“Pfizer says immunity can drop to 83% within four months in people who got its COVID-19 shot, further bolstering the company case for a booster”

I don’t remember this being mentioned when the vaccines were rolled out. Oh, that’s right, there was no long term testing.

I have to wonder if Moderna is any better.

A dose or two every year - now THAT'S what I call a money-maker!

Truly feel bad for people who took the treatment without informed consent. Knowledgeable people - they knew the cost-benefit and made their choice. Let’s hope the experimental treatments work and there are no long term effects.

We will only know that the elites feel they are losing control of the situation when they finally start to blame Trump for helping the pharmaceutical companies rush them into use. They will blame Trump: not Dr Faulty or the companies or even the ChiComs.
