Even a fourth shot of a COVID-19 vaccine is “not good enough” to prevent Omicron, according to a preliminary study in Israel.
Sheba Hospital last month tested a fourth shot given to more than 270 medical workers, with 154 getting the Pfizer jab and 120 receiving Moderna.
The researchers revealed Monday that both groups showed a “slightly higher” increase in antibodies than after the third shot — but still not enough to prevent Omicron, the latest variant responsible for the vast majority of infections around the world.
“Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers a partial defense against the virus,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the hospital’s infection disease unit leading the study.
The study saw “many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose,” she said. “Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections.”
“The vaccines, which were more effective against previous variants, offer less protection versus Omicron,” Regev-Yochay said, adding that the vaccines are “not good enough” to prevent the less-severe new variant.
The findings have not yet been published and do not reveal specific data...

Well, booster shots don’t do much for the common cold either.
IT NEVER WORKED.
It’s getting to the point, some would say it’s past the point, where it appears this is only a $MONEY$ driven thing. Why get the booster and send more of your tax dollars to Washington for something that doesn’t work? This question should have been screaming 3 boosters ago.
Money, power, and control.
“Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections.”
“A bit? A lot?” What is that? They did a study. How about some data instead of this fuzzy language? The inability on the part of nearly everyone to speak clearly about COVID-19 is the Left’s greatest victory. 2 years into this thing, and we still don’t know anything.
Assuming Omicron is a reality, imagine finding a mutation of a *virus* circumventing man-made attempts to block it.
Hard to come up with a vaccine for a lab created biological weapon.

This is a surprise only to those who have bought the narrative the vaxx is the *only* solution.
It should be a surprise to no-one that repeatedly vaccinating for a now extinct form of Covid does not help with the current variant, and indeed it may induce an inappropriate and ineffective immune response.
The vaxx is repeatedly training the body for an immune response to something that no longer exists.
most serious people discuss features suggesting it is an engineered variant.
synonymous/asynonymous mutation ratio way off.
no direct genetic ancestor sequences for almost 18 months back.
they say it spent time in mice, but those articles usually avoid mentioning what sort of building the mice might have lived in.
don’t even have a guess as to which nation-state did the work on omicron.
Well then use a 5th and 6th shot! Keep vaccinating until something all dead! Maybe virus, maybe people, who cares just keep giving more and more shots!
Where are all the vaxx shills on here?
Monthly shots until everyone dies from the shots then no need for any more shots. Problem solved.
Omicron is a cold. Niquil and Kleenex are all you need.
“Omicron is a cold. Niquil and Kleenex are all you need.”
Exactamundo. But I also like to add a shot or two of Jack Daniels.
As a newbie to FR, the “anthropologist” side of my thoughts goes to observing who posts what and how things a posted. All in all, FR is a fascinating site and exercise in observing people.
Your question has been my question, as those who opt for “Covid” media-driven fear post in clusters with support from like fellows. And the game's afoot.
The “pandemic” hinges on accepting “official” data, and as anomalies are observed, those who then grasp at other data sources generally fail to account for the root failings in the original and “official” data.
But when data, data collection and analysis are faulty, then additional massaging of that data becomes — as you say — “shilling.”
As of 18 January 2022, Johns Hopkins University's "official" data --
( 5,547,903 "global deaths" / 7,921,131,915 global population ) x 100 = 0.070% of the global population.

This two year "pandemic" event has affected the world by killing "officially" seven one-hundredths of the global population. That's the "official" data's story.
All the "excess deaths" calculations, the references to models and estimates and "presumed" this and that are built on the shifting sand of "virus" death to seven one-hundredths of the global population.
You rightly ask, "Where are all the vaxx shills on here?”
“ But I also like to add a shot or two of Jack Daniels.”
(Me too, but you never know who’s here this time of day, so...)

Well let’s mandate a 5th jab. That is sure to do the trick! /sarc
The vaccines were made for the first strain of Covid - we are almost 2 years past that strain
“Why get the booster and send more of your tax dollars to Washington for something that doesn’t work? This question should have been screaming 3 boosters ago.”
This is why Webster invented the word, “INSANITY!”
Anyone looking at this debacle called COVID should fully understand how highly effective “color revolutions” can be launched. Let’s see, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Arab Spring, Jan 6 U.S. coup, 2020 U.S. election....
