EU Drug Regulator Warns Against Overuse of COVID Booster Shots
VOA News ^ | 01 13 2022 | Staff

The European Union’s drug regulator is warning that too many doses of COVID-19 vaccines could eventually weaken the body’s immune system, rendering the extra shots ineffective.

Marco Cavaleri, the head of vaccine strategy for the European Medicines Agency, said earlier this week that booster shots can be administered “once, or maybe twice, but it's not something that we think should be repeated constantly.” Cavaleri said instead that boosters should be administered just like an annual flu vaccination.

Cavaleri is the latest health expert to urge against offering a fourth shot of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine in an effort to provide extra protection against emerging variants of the coronavirus. Britain’s Health Security Agency said last week there was “no immediate need” for people to get a fourth shot, as the current booster regimens are providing good levels of protection. The World Health Organization has repeatedly said that providing first doses to poorer nations is a higher priority than richer nations offering boosters.

In China, authorities in the central city of Xi’an have ordered two hospitals to temporarily shut down amid reports they denied treatment for critical patients in two incidents. A pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage after personnel at Gaoxin Hospital refused to admit her because she did not have a valid COVID-19 test. Meanwhile, a woman posted on social media that her father died of a heart ailment after he was refused treatment at Xi’an International Medical Center.

That suggestion will go over well with the Covidiots in charge. Next they will be shouting “Heathen, heathen”.

Sounds a bit like antibiotics, take them too often and your body “forgets” how to fight back and becomes dependent on the antibiotic. But the antibiotic loses its’ potency with overuse also.

“...eventually weaken the body’s immune system, rendering the extra shots ineffective.”

Screw ineffectiveness agains Omicron! What about weakening the body’s immunity to every other pathogen in the world? If you destroy our immune systems, Omicron could be the very least of our worries.

Omicron is the scary variant they talk about today. But as our entire immune system is turned to trash, we may have to face three future COVID variants: the Flu Variant, the Common Cold Variant, and the Pneumonia Variant. Those COVID variants may cause huge devastation as they rip through the population.

I got walking pneumonia almost three years ago after a cold turned to bronchitis and bronchitis turned to pneumonia. That was the scariest thing ever. One night I was wheezing on both inhalation and exhalation. I made two trips to Urgent Care and one trip to the ER. A third round of antibiotics, steroids, and inhalers finally killed it at 12 weeks. The first ER doc told me “this bronchitis takes an average of 12 weeks to go away.” He nailed it! Conclusion: I’m perfectly average.

That horrific episode taught me what something like COVID can do if it progresses and turns bad on you. I think the COVID prophylaxis regiment the past 20 months has kept all the respiratory illnesses away from me.

We knew that 6 months ago. It was a conspiracy theory at the time. We all knew it as truth. T-cell destruction.
