Omicron significantly reduces Covid antibody protection in small study of Pfizer vaccine recipients
CNBC ^ | 07 December 2021 | Spencer Kimball

They found a 41-fold drop in the ability of the antibodies to neutralize the omicron variant compared with the original virus...The preprint study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, tested 14 plasma samples from 12 vaccinated people, 6 of whom were previously infected...People who have recovered from the virus and received a booster shot will likely have more protection from severe disease, the South African researchers said.

If it is so effective against antibodies why is it so mild in effect?

Cue to get more boosters, peasants. So much propaganda.

1. Omicron is much more resistant to the vaccine than previous strains.

2. Everyone should get vaccinated because of Omicron.

Mutations can become more infectious over time, but less potent. Come hell or high water, COVID is going to make it’s way through the world’s population.

So no vaccine = no omicron… and natural immunity is still way better than any graphene shot. Just wanted to sort out the propaganda.

A lot more than the politicians, world health organizations, and the vaccine manufacturers want known. We're not even allowed to have an open discussion of antibodies and their ability to protect us. We seriously lack an independent group to test and verify this, one way or another.

My wife commented today about how some seemingly smart people we know have a very narrow view of the world that is dictated by what the hear from the MSM, if anyone at all. Truly maddening.

Exactly. You will have had Covid or get Covid. Just like it is impossible to stop the common cold or flu, you won’t stop Covid.

IMHO, it didn’t just appear one day in Feb 2020 or so in the US, when it had been spreading in China since Oct/Nov.

It was here in late Nov or December of 2019 and millions probably got sick with it but just brushed it off as a common seasonal cold.

My brother in law died in February of 2020. He was a heavy smoker and drinker. He was on a ventilator for a week then died. We were all in his room with him. This was just before the political hype. Was it covid? Hell, I don’t know, we all were healthy and no contributing health issues people. No one got really ill, just the normal colds and flu. I’m a horse owner I got my meds in a tube and vitamins in a bottle. (70 years and assuming the risks). LGBFJB

Oh No!

What is the number of deaths/death rate? The COVIDiots never talk about the death numbers because COVID-19 not a deadly virus. The average age of death victims fromCOVID-19 is 78+ Which is higher than the life expectancy. COVID only kills ancient people

I beg to differ sir! Contributing factors are an issue. Ancient ain’t a death notice. Mom is 89, a friend of mine is 90, I’m 70. Keep your immune system rolling and get rest, stay out of crowds and work the vitamins. Live healthy. Biggest germ trap in the world is a class of 1st graders. They get everything it’s why God gave them youth and vitality. We old farts have to take our chances a little more seriously. Old age and treachery can compete with youth and exuberance any day of the week. IMHO. Be Safe.

Love the video - thanks! I will be sharing it. Our family is generally conservative with older members in particular being people of faith. I am sad to say that quite a few are “hypnotized”, one that I thought I knew well is hysterical & will not listen to data, reason, or anything else thus far. It’s frustrating & beyond sad because it’s close to causing a fracture in our very close family. Our church has been a huge letdown to the point that many longtime members are leaving (including me & other family members). I have a new church “home”, but the others are adrift. Dr. Malone has been emphasizing local community every time I’ve heard him talk lately - the video pulls it all together & now I see why he’s talking that way.
