New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness may be "a wakeup call"
Axios ^ | 08/11/2021 | Spaced

Posted on 08/11/2021 5:19:05 PM PDT by spaced

A new preprint study that raises concerns about the mRNA vaccines' effectiveness against Delta — particularly Pfizer's — has already grabbed the attention of top Biden administration officials.

What they're saying: The study found the Pfizer vaccine was only 42% effective against infection in July, when the Delta variant was dominant. "If that's not a wakeup call, I don't know what is," a senior Biden official told Axios.

Driving the news: The study, conducted by nference and the Mayo Clinic, compared the effectiveness of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the Mayo Clinic Health System over time from January to July.

It looks like the mRNA vaccines' effectiveness declines very rapidly. I read a different article yesterday (no link) stating that Moderna had a 50% decline in effectiveness over 6 months.

Dr kory has revised the ivermectin protocol to deal with variants

Glad to see he is talking about doing the mouthwash and also iodine nasal spray

I credit those things for helping me to keep safe. Been doing iodine since early last year after seeing an ent talk about it.

If by “wakeup call” they mean increased censorship and punishment of the anti-vaccine crowd, I agree.

“ read a different article yesterday (no link)”

“No link”? Likely true but also “convenient”. I follow Moderna a lot and have seen nothing reputable supporting that.

Given the very high percentages in Massachusetts, California, and elsewhere recently of infected previously vaccinated and the apparent loads being shed, looks like we have Super Shedders in the U.S.

Probably going to need blood thinners to go with the boosters.

I put 5 to 10 drops of iodine in my coffee every morning. It is the best anti-viral you can get. It has no taste and I don’t even get so much as a head cold since I have been taking it.

Not surprised with the news about the vaccine not working as advertised. Anyone paying attention knows this. Very surprised that Axios is reporting this. Very surprising.

"It looks like the mRNA vaccines' effectiveness declines very rapidly."

There's no evidence of that. The evidence says that the Delta variant's significant changes to the S, N, and M proteins make antibodies created to fight previous versions of SARS-CoV-2 less effective. That's why more COVID-19 reinfections are being observed. There is no evidence that people who got vaccinated 6 months ago have any less effective immunity against the wild type virus or the April 2020 variant.

It was never effective. We were told by people who work in the field it was worthless. The ones who think it is are the ones pushing it and the ones who fell for it.

I’ve been using silver spray in my nose and throat after being out in public (which I try to avoid anyway).

Even though the FDA says silver does nothing for Covid they apparently never read this:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7486059/

I don’t swallow it as I don’t know what it does internally (if anything) but IMO it makes a darn good topical disinfectant.

What’s the new dosage per Dr Kory, .4 to .6 mg/kg once a day for 5 days??

I made a slide to show why covid vax “95% effective” was deceitful. They only started counting cases beginning at 2w after dose2. This is when Ab titers were highest, so diff was greatest between them & placebo. They stopped counting cases at 2m after dose2, before Ab dropped. pic.twitter.com/AoON2wPn3R— AMM, MD (@AMcA32449832) August 11, 2021

Get your government booster every day for breakfast and be a good little communist.
