Most Americans who get their bivalent booster vaccine are not protected against falling sick with Covid, official data suggests.
A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released today found the updated shots were just 48 percent effective at stopping symptomatic infection caused by the XBB.1.5 subvariant for up to three months.
The CDC highlighted that the main purpose of the vaccines is to prevent hospitalization and death rather than transmission, and they are still expected to give high protection against severe illness.
But the findings mean the bivalent shots - which the US Government paid $5billion for last autumn - fall short of the World Health Organization's 50 percent efficacy threshold for an effective vaccine.
When the original Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were developed in 2020, clinical trials indicated they could reduce rates of symptomatic infection by 95 percent.
The shot slowly loss effectiveness as the virus continued to mutate, though.
At one point, the average effectiveness against the virus had fallen as low as 36 percent.
The Omicron variant, which first emerged in late 2021, mutated an ability to evade protection provided by the shots.
Versions of the virus that have emerged since have continued to evolve with traits that allow it to bypass vaccine effectiveness.

Make IVERMECTIN available at it’s original affordable price. It works.
Well isnt that nice?
safe AND effective
How does a company or the CDC and FDA have an "updated" anything, when the trials are not complete, and do such announced "updates" change the formulation and therefore the mRNA shots?
The entire system is being bypassed by the age-old "assumptive close" sales pitch, abetted by government. And this on the same day Free Republic posts the article saying that Birx lied in order to put these formulations into Americans' bodies.
Every honest person who has taken biology 101 knew that and…. Have been saying it since December 2019.
There’s so many negative stories coming out not of this “sham vaccine” that it’s making me wonder what’s the real reason for these releases. My guess....blame it squarely on Trump...
And how many of us were excoriated at work, by family and even on this site for stating the obvious?
Really? And how do you PROVE that?
“The Omicron variant, which first emerged in late 2021, mutated an ability to evade protection provided by the shots.”
to be more specific, the virus continues to mutate ability to evade protection from vaccines AND from acquired immunity from prior infection. There are plenty of stories of people catching covid more than once. Those who were infected with original Covid Alpha or Delta or one Omnicron variant may be reinfected with one of the now-dozens of Omnicron variants
What a bunch of clowns. I'll ask the question again: How do you PROVE that the "vaccines" prevent hospitalization and death, or provide "high protection against severe illness"? It is literally not possible to prove it. At best, you might be able to claim a correlation between being "vaccinated" and having a "milder" "COVID" infection experience. But even that is unlikely, given that most people barely even know they have "COVID".
EVERYTHING about "COVID" is a LIE.
I guess they haven’t culled enough stupid people yet, so the culling will continue.
Uh, still NOPE! 🔬🦠🤔😱🚫😷💉🐎💩🖕
How is this any different from the same annual flu shot BS they have been pushing for decades? It almost never is the “right” strain of flu. I don’t take those, won’t take this one either.
The GOOD NEWS is that Moderna is working on developing a strain of COVID19 that their vaccine is Effective against!
used to do a little but a little wouldn’t do it so a little got more and more...
Lousy product.
Anyone who takes this garbage into their body gets what they diserve.
“EVERYTHING about “COVID” is a LIE.”
And the Owners have something else they’re going to hit us with soon I’ll wager.
