Booster protection against symptomatic illness caused by the Omicron variant dropped by up to 25% within 10 weeks, new real-world data found - though it's not yet clear whether everyone may need further doses in 2022.
The UK Health Security Agency said protection against symptomatic COVID-19 caused by the variant dropped from 70% to 45% after a Pfizer booster for those initially vaccinated with the shot developed by Pfizer with BioNTech.
In the same analysis published on Thursday, the agency found the effectiveness of Moderna's booster paired with two doses of the Pfizer vaccine held at 70% to 75% for up to nine weeks, though not many people in the study received this regimen, which could affect the accuracy of the finding.
For those fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca's vaccine, booster effectiveness dropped from 60% to 35% with a Pfizer booster and to 45% with a Moderna booster after 10 weeks, the UKHSA said.

On Wednesday, Israel became the first country to announce fourth doses to try to bolster immunity against Omicron for those most susceptible to COVID-19, including people older than 60 and health workers.
But other countries, such as the UK, are holding tight for more data on how well existing regimens work and the safety and effectiveness of additional doses.
In the US, most immunocompromised people could already get a fourth dose from six months after the third, before Omicron emerged. Those who got Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine initially aren't recommended more than two doses, guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Or, like some of us, take NONE of these DNA-bending, athlete-killing gene therapies, and rely on natural immunity and inexpensive therapies.
They want you to get five vaxes a year.
They are asymptomatic and at the same time are invoking their natural immunity which would, it would seem, be the same thing as getting a booster...and even better!!
Let's take a look....

or maybe a magic 8 ball?

I had an 8 Ball when I was a kid.
I think they still sell them so it is possible.
Thanks - I’m gonna steal it and repost out there.
Natural immunity is generally much better than artificial immunity - and let’s not forget there are plenty of articles out there that say the jabs actually destroy natural immunity antibodies and open the door for even more illness.
In order to not have to address that, the Red Cross actually halted the plasma with antibodies program after it came to light that if a person had acquired natural immunity and then taken the jab, the natural immunity antibodies were no longer present/useful.
