COVID-19: Study shows one vaccine dose leaves UK's over-60s 'seriously vulnerable'
SKY News ^ | January 2, 2021 | by Thomas Moore

The evidence that the second dose can be delayed for three months looks shaky - not even the manufacturers recommend it.

Vaccines have to work in the real world, not in the artificial bubble of a clinical trial.

So the findings from Israel's impressively-rapid rollout of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine are troubling.

They suggest the UK's decision to delay the second dose exposes the elderly and vulnerable to a significantly higher risk of infection than we were told by the government's vaccines advisers.

But the stats from Israel suggests that the efficacy of one dose is just 33%.

The Israeli scientists believe the UK experts have significantly overestimated the immunity from one dose of the vaccine.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine uses mRNA technology that has never before been rolled out to protect people in the real world.

Two doses look spectacularly effective. That's been shown in the clinical trials.

But the evidence that the second dose can be delayed for three months looks shaky. Not even the manufacturers recommend it.

And the experience from Israel does nothing to boost confidence in the way the vaccine is being used in the UK.

That’s what I’ve been thinking/saying all along. It’s like a FLU shot.

I believe the definition of “vaccine” has been dumbed-down.

A lot of the flu shots are bogus in that they are marginally effective and have some apparently dangerous and longer-term deadly additional elements in them, but they at least go by the old vaccine model.

The “vaccines” we’re getting forced now aren’t even that:

Sorry. I shouldn’t have addressed that to you. It should have been addressed to me. Means Return Later for Videos. I couldn’t get them to unmute. Too many people trying to watch them maybe.

Vaccine is not as effective in antibody binding with some of the new mutations. Maybe this will be modified in later versions. T-cell immunity is still OK though.

The efficacy of the Sputnik V vaccine is 91.4%, based on the final control point analysis of data obtained 21 days after administering the first dose. (cbc Canada)

Not sure if that is accurate, but seems if it were not we’d be bombarded with that news. The media hates Russia and the fact that they have not trashed their vaccine in their hit pieces tells me it may work very well.

What are you talking about? This Covid mRNA stuff? All it was supposedly tested for was making some symptoms more mild for a couple of handfuls of folks out of something like 30k people.

60 percent of the cases in Greater London are a mutation.

It wasn’t supposed to be for a handful of people, and it wasn’t, but the mutations, now traveling around the world and thereby allowing greater risk of more mutations, could cause more of the partial failure.

The effect of these mutations could have been lessened if everyone had voluntarily observe the suggestions.

Also, the vaccine is not what is usually called symptomatic. It controls the symptoms to stop the disease from spreading—not just to make patients feel better, like our usual over-the-counter stuff.

She calls it an "experimental biological agent" as opposed to a vaccine. EBA

She also mentions something called "antibody dependent enhancement" ADE

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), sometimes less precisely called immune enhancement or disease enhancement, is a phenomenon in which binding of a virus to suboptimal antibodies enhances its entry into host cells, followed by its replication.

ADE was the reason why an EBA was never developed for SARS (The original Covid virus)

Anyone thinking about taking this experimental vaccine should watch this video. At least watch the from the 14-minute mark to the 26-minute mark. https://www.bitchute.com/video/2m2PRBUXdU74/?fbclid=IwAR1Ev1LzJ7fhWgVAFuhQdukWqjyIW5qSjnBPTL9xKVejYHnKXPfP-jgDvk8

Not sure I’d believe that info coming from Canada & certainly not Russia. Right now Canada has a shortage & they may be looking to Russia for another source of vaccine.

We got our first dose yesterday. Moderna. Piece of cake. No side effects other than extreme joy.

My 85 year old MIL is in the hospital with what we think is a vaccine related condition. She was inoculated Tuesday night. Thursday she started to feel very ill - dizzy, nauseous, tired, headache. On Friday morning, she was found on the floor and had no idea how she got there. By later in the day, she was incoherent, didn’t know who she was, who she was married to, etc...

She was taken to the emergency room. No stroke, heart attack, covid, or UTI. The doctor thinks it’s vaccine related. Seems better today, but we can’t see her because of Covid restrictions. Moderna vaccine.
