Israeli researchers identify rise in antibody levels in people administered a second booster of the Pfizer COVID vaccine, but not enough to block the omicron variant
A fourth shot of COVID-19 vaccine boosts antibodies to even higher levels than the third jab, but it likely is not enough to prevent omicron infections, according to a preliminary study in Israel.
The vaccines led to an increase in the number of antibodies "even a little bit higher than what we had after the third dose", said Prof. Regev-Yochay who leads the study at Sheba Medical Center, adding that the results were preliminary and not yet published...

It was rolled out again today as there is a lot of drama in Israel over the tens of thousands of cases being reported each day.
Looking ahead Pfizer will have a new Omicron version of its jab out by March perhaps this herds the sheeple in that direction.
How about five?
Omicron don’t care how many vaccinations you have had. Omicron don’t care about your mask, social distancing or how many times you wash your hands. Omicron is the Honey Badger of Covid variants. Omicron don’t care.
RE: “partially effective”
Uh, as opposed to superb, reliable 100% safeguard against catching Covid proclaimed for the early shots?
Which fell to “reduces your chance” and 70% and then 50% and then “experts warn effectiveness wears off on earlier shots.” Then “we’ll have to get used to Covid staying with us forever.”
Gee, really sounds like the common cold in that respect, eh?
People get the jabs, people still get sick.
Both my daughters have had that experience.
Are you serious?
DOING THE SAME DAMN THING AGAIN doesn’t provide a different result?
How can this be?
Omicron IS the vaccine. My unvaxxed sister (for medical reasons) recently contracted it, and got over it, it was like a bad cold. My wife just got a Covid booster, and she was terribly sick for 2 days. I’d take the Omi over the vax any day at this time.
Sorry to hear that.
If only the authorities and experts actually knew something.
How many Israelis have died from Omicron?
Except getting Omicron is a good thing. Minor cold thet will afford actual immunity to other variants.
Try Lucky Seven
Same here- friends that were vaxxed got the new whuhan XI/Omnicron virus the ones that had the Booster shots-STILL are having after effects—
so now we are up to the 4th!! booster- and a NEW variant on it’s way— this will never go away-
Barkeep, I’ll have another shot.
“I’ll see your five, and raise you five!”
So, if four of them don’t work?
What next?
Billions and billions, like the McDonald’s sign says!
Don’t go there it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Partially effective means less than 50 percent.
