Although COVID-19 booster vaccinations in adults elicit high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, antibody levels decrease substantially within 3 months, according to new clinical trial data. The findings, published today in Cell Reports Medicine, are from a study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. The trial was led by NIAID's Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium.
As part of a "mix and match" clinical trial, investigators administered COVID-19 booster vaccines to adults in the United States who had previously received a primary COVID-19 vaccination series under Emergency Use Authorization. Some participants received the same vaccine as their primary series, and others received a different vaccine. Investigators then evaluated immune responses over time. Results previously reported in The New England Journal of Medicine showed all combinations of primary and booster vaccines resulted in increased neutralizing antibody levels in the recipients.
In the new analysis, investigators report that nearly all vaccine combinations evaluated elicited high levels of neutralizing antibodies to the omicron BA.1 sub-lineage. However, antibody levels against omicron were low in the group that received Ad26.COV2.S as both a primary vaccine and boost. Moreover, immune responses to omicron in all groups waned substantially, with neutralizing antibody levels decreasing 2.4- to 5.3-fold by three months post-boost.

Omicron sub-lineages BA.2.12.1 and BA.4/BA.5 were 1.5 and 2.5 times less susceptible to neutralization, respectively, compared to the BA.1 sub-lineage, and 7.5 and 12.4 times less susceptible relative to the ancestral D614G strain. BA.5 currently is the dominant variant in the U.S.
The authors note that the findings are consistent with real-world reports showing waning protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection during the omicron wave in people who received a primary vaccine series plus a booster shot. Additionally, the immune response to omicron sub-lineages show reduced susceptibility to these rapidly emerging subvariants. The data could be used to inform decisions regarding future vaccine schedule recommendations, including the need for variant vaccine boosting.

....within 3 months...
But yeah, keep making yourselves feel better thinking its an actual vaccine.................
Big Pharma conference meeting:
“So if they all need a new booster shot every month we could stand to make an unprecedented explosion of high profits selling them.”
Boss: “I don’t know about the patients but I’m feeling better by the minute.”
What a surprise when they are using a useless vax.
The vax is for the original strain.
You might as well depend on using the year before lasts flu shot for next years strain of the flu.
biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he waltzed into the white house, disbanded trump’s “operation warp speed”, opened our southern border, and continues to spread over 2,000,000 (2 million) nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while anthony fauci, the cdc, the nih, the world health organization, the enemedia, hollywierd, and the majority of our elected representatives sit back and watch...
trust the biden administration to protect you and your health at your own peril...
But the ill effects to your immune system don’t dissipate.
A vaccine is one shot. Maybe with a booster many years later. This mess is an experiment.
The life expectancy of Americans has decreased almost two years thanks to the dangerous, sometimes fatal vaxxxxxxines.
As the vaxxxxxines are all starting autoimmune attacks on the vaxxxxxxed, expect the death numbers to increase substantially as the vaxxxxxxines kill more and more of the vaxxxxed. And there is no treatment to stop these vaxxxxxxine caused autoimmune attacks..
Keep on, keep on, keep on boooooo$tin’! 🕺🏻 🎶
Exactly. If only they did. :-(
And life insurance rates are going up because....of......
“unexpected” and “suddenly” and “found unresponsive” results of experiments.
That’s obvious. Otherwise how would you get someone to pay for the next?
Repeat customers make a going concern!
Pretty convenient for pzier for making new drugs when they’re the ones creating the conditions.
Meanwhile, DugwayDuke and the rest of the Branch Covidians are nowhere to be found.
Life ins companies are now trying to quickly buy out policies.
The paychecks must’ve hit a snag.
“The paychecks must’ve hit a snag.”
Yep, they are probably shills for Big Pharma or government hacks.
Same diff.
Killing your customers is not a good business model...................
