A study out of South Africa, rushed to preprint before peer review to give the world hard data about the Omicron scariant, revealed that the Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs offer essentially zero protection against the mutated coronavirus. Those with natural immunity from previous infections faired far better.
According to CNBC:
They found a 41-fold drop in the ability of the antibodies to neutralize the omicron variant compared with the original virus, a dramatic reduction from its performance against the original ancestral strain as well as other variants, according to a preprint of the study that hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed. Vaccine-induced antibodies dropped threefold in their ability to neutralize the earlier beta variant that previously dominated South Africa, suggesting omicron is much better at evading protection.
It’s conspicuous that they only studied those who had been previously vaccinated. One would think that in a full-blown study they would have compared all four groups — vaxxed with previous infection, unvaxxed with previous infection, vaxxed without previous infection, and unvaxxed without previous infection — in order to see exactly how Omicron reacts to anyone. But this wasn’t a full-blown study. It was rushed in order to get data out there for review.height="235" style="display: inline-block;" />
Nevertheless, they chose to make sure all tested cases were previously vaccinated. Perhaps they’re concerned about losing funding, as so many doctors and scientists are, if they promote the efficacy of natural immunity. Even as they proclaimed that those with natural immunity faired far better than the vaccinated-only, they still made sure to throw in a call for those with natural immunity to get vaxxed and boostered.
“The results we present here with Omicron show much more extensive escape” than the beta variant, researchers wrote. “Previous infection, followed by vaccination or booster is likely to increase the neutralization level and likely confer protection from severe disease in Omicron infection.”
The Independent took the gaslighting narrative even further by saying the potency of natural immunity against Omicron was a good sign… for booster shots. For those who failed 6th grade biology, booster shots and vaccines have literally nothing to do with natural immunity against Covid. But hey, they have an agenda to push so…
There appears to be a “very large drop” in immunity against the new variant among those given Pfizer’s vaccine, said Alex Sigal, a professor at the Africa Health Research Institute, after his laboratory studied blood samples of 12 people vaccinated with the jab.
But – in results with promising implications for booster jabs – antibodies in samples from those who had been both double-vaccinated and naturally infected with coronavirus appeared significantly more effective against the new variant, according to the study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed.
Big Pharma propaganda aside, this study shows what many courageous doctors and scientists have been saying for a while. They “vaccines” do not offer anywhere near the “protection” they’re supposed to supply. And as a previous study demonstrated, the injections are very likely the reason there’s a new variant sweeping across the world in the first place.
Natural immunity ping.

From the same CNBC article cited:
Dr. Paul Offit, professor of pediatrics at the Division of Infectious Disease at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told CNBC the data suggests fully vaccinated people may face a higher risk of mild infection from omicron compared to the past variants.
“I think that there’s still going to be protection against serious illness,” Offit said. “I think with either vaccination or natural infection or both. You’re going to be protected against serious illness.”
SO, THE DOCTOR STILL BELIEVES IN:
1. VACCINATION
2. NATURAL IMMUNITY
3. BOTH THE ABOVE
Natural immunity ceased to function as of the week of March 16, 2020. It’s science. /sarc
You cannot make this stuff up. 🙃
Has “Omnicron” killed anyone yet?
That’s all well and good, except for the hundreds of thousands of people who didn’t get natural immunity because they died of COVID. I guess maybe the lesson there is “survival of the fittest.”
Follow the science.
Exactly !
I await foreign sources, peer reviewed, for confirmation of the effectiveness of 'the jab'.
I have lost confidence in the honesty of the NIH/FDA/CDC in determining what is science.
Fiance had lunch with an old friend Friday. Friend called her Monday and told her she tested positive for Covid. She had tested Thursday and tested negative then positive Monday morning. Fully vaccinated and boosted. She caught it from her husband, also fully vaccinated, who caught it from his father also fully vaccinated.
Earlier this fall, late summer, fiances bosses family all came down with Covid. 5 of them. All fully vaccinated. They had been in the office and fiance was tested then. Negative. She tested negative Tuesday. I forget how many times she has been tested because of contact with vaccinated people who came down with Covid. At least 5 times.
I’m about damn tired of the vaccinated exposing she and I to this virus!
Copied and pasted from an old thread I just responded to.
Meh.
To which I just responded?........
The study is too small to be the basis of broad projections about outcomes.
Yet the article tries to make it sound like "Natural Immunity Shines".
They didn't look at any unvaccinated people.
Would it be possible to concoct a more misleading story?
Meanwhile, health systems are firing people with better immunity...
Some good news, is that initial indications are that the antibody infusion treatments are still pretty effective against Omicron.
Perhaps they are more broadly focused to more features of the virus, than the mRNA vaccines, which were tightly focused on just the Receptor Binding Domain at the tip of the spike protein. The Receptor Binding Domain of Omicron sports ten mutations - very different.
The vaccines were targeted at that small area, because whole coronavirus vaccines in the past have had disastrous safety issues (fatal Cytokine Storm reactions to later infection). They sought to target only a minimal set of key features of the virus that made it dangerous (its ability to bind, and get into cells). The thinking was that variants different enough to evade the vaccine would likely be inherently less dangerous.
Even refuseniks who haven’t had the coof likely have better immunity to it than those vaxxed.
