Did the US Jump the Gun With the New Omicron-Targeted Vaccines?

This new C19 booster vax the FDA just approved seems like a money making scheme for pharma with possibly very little increased efficacy from the original recipe....especially considering the side effects for those at low risk. Likely worth it if you are high risk or get a paid day off to recover.

The updated booster vaccine formulations are identical to the original covid vaccines except for a tweak in the mRNA code to match the omicron BA.5 virus. Studies by Pfizer showed that its updated omicron BA.1 booster provides a 1.56 times higher increase in neutralizing antibody titers against the BA.1 virus as compared with a booster using its original vaccine. Moderna’s studies of its updated omicron BA.1 booster demonstrated very similar results. However, others predict that a 1.5 times higher antibody titer would yield only slight improvement in vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic illness and severe disease, with a bump of about 5% and 1% respectively (Predicting the efficacy of variant-modified COVID-19 vaccine boosters https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.25.22279237v1 Posted August 26, 2022). Pfizer and Moderna are just starting to study their updated omicron BA.5 boosters in human trials.

So, taking repeated death jabs is better than natural immunity?

On what planet, in what solar system, in what galaxy?

In the pharma-sponsored planet/solar system/galaxy this "Dugway" shill/moron/troll occupies, I would imagine.

Hopefully, you won’t get it again. Natural immunity wanes too.

Just wow. You're getting paid by the post for this propaganda.

Immunity wanes?

People exposed to SARS COVID-2 in 2003 still have the antibodies today, but you're right, people should take the polio vaccine weekly... or daily.

Why the big deal over relatively non lethal versions of the original infections of C19 unless China is hiding a newer and more deadly version of the original?

Yes, regardless of what you want to believe, natural immunity wanes.

Natural Immunity vs. mRNA Vaccine-induced Immunity

Natural immunity is the response that occurs in our body when we encounter a germ or a virus and our body produces cells called antibodies. These antibodies can “remember” a particular germ to detect its presence if it returns to the body.

mRNA vaccines have been engineered to stimulate a strong immune response to all current variants of SARS-CoV-2, even if there are different levels of protection as the virus mutates into new variants. Immunity from infection is only effective against the variant that an individual becomes infected with, leading to a greater risk of becoming infected with a future variant. Vaccination-induced immunity provides greater and broader protection than natural immunity. That being said, all forms of immunity wane over time which is why booster doses of an mRNA vaccine are recommended for all eligible individuals.

Explains why those who got the Jim Jones Jab keep getting COVID-1984 - it's not a vaccine, regardless of what the CDC changed their definition to.

Can you explain why there are those who’ve had covid multiple times? Shouldn’t one infection provide 100% immunity?

Bingo. The explanation is that the Jim Jones Jab defeats natural immunity.

Can you identify a vaccine that provides immunity?

The heart medicine was also put in the kiddie jabs as an acknowledgement that the adult jabs had been causing athletes to drop dead from the vaxx.

Just sickening, dear FRiend. 💞

A good family friend of ours recently told us they’d had their boo$ter....this, in spite of two of her siblings having had horrid adverse effects from their first $hot.

Some folks NEVER learn.

Such bunk, still being allowed to be posted, here, is unreal, isn’t it?

Pfizer bot pharm bucks must still be trickling in.

That must be your way of admitting that you cannot identify any vaccines that provide immunity?

Jumping the gun is decreeing that these “new boosters” and specifically-targeted vaccines don’t require normal testing and FDA approval.
