Here’s How Effective the Original Vaccines Are Against Omicron (not very)
Yahoo Sports(?) ^ | September 22, 2022 | Alice Park

In a study published in JAMA Network Open today, scientists report on how effective the original vaccine and booster shots are against the COVID-19 Delta and Omicron variants.

Researchers in Ontario analyzed data from more than 134,000 people, including those who tested positive for Delta and Omicron infections during December 2021. They found that people who were fully vaccinated (with two doses of an mRNA vaccine, from either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) experienced a decline in vaccine effectiveness against both Delta and Omicron infections, but the drop was greater against Omicron than against Delta. Among the vaccinated, the shots’ effectiveness declined from 36% up to two months after the second dose of the primary series, to 1% up to four months later (or six months after the second dose).

Booster doses helped restore some of the vaccine’s effectiveness, bringing it back up to 61% against Omicron beginning a week after people received the booster shot.

“The bottom line message is that against Omicron, you really need three doses for optimal protection against severe outcomes,” says Dr. Jeff Kwong, senior scientist at ICES (a not-for-profit research institute) and the study’s senior author. “Two doses was good enough against Delta, but since last December, when Omicron took over, two doses does not provide quite enough protection.”

Sidestepping conspiracy theories, these shots have ONE objective: PREVENTION.

Per the FDA in June 2020, the FDA would expect that a COVID-19 vaccine would prevent disease or decrease its severity in at least 50% of people who are vaccinated.

Therefore, if VE is now not only below 50% but at zero, and the benchmark was 50%, the EUAs and approvals should be yanked.

So I wonder if this is analogous to applying Preparation H to an athlete’s foot site and hoping for some remission.

Better still, having the government indemnify you against any unfortunate misapplication and being able to pocket the profit from the sales!

If you lost a family member or friend to the JAB, this video MAY offer SOME relief from the pain of that loss. God willing and these CRIMINALS haven’t bought, intimidated or have video of the judges in this matter consorting with 5 year olds on Epstein Island, JUSTICE MAY be coming for those responsible.

Really? I’ve had this crap twice I’m sure of. Horse paste, ivermectin for the slower folks. I’m 71, survived prostate cancer, and a heart attack at 48. The drug companies are screwing everyone and getting rich. Do what you want and good luck.

As picture of Covid vaccine durability gets clearer, J&J makes a strong showing
This week, Pfizer and Moderna asked the FDA to authorize fourth doses of their vaccines. Meanwhile, a new study shows protection from one J&J shot lasts at least six months.

Omicron has been no different for many people who are
vaccinated, vs people who are vaccinated and boosted.
For many, symptoms subside after about 3-4 days. Fever,
maybe chills, body aches, sore throat was common, dry cough
that lingered for a few days. It was sort of like getting the flu.

So why “get tested?”

Yeah, but if you get the 27th jab you’ll be really protected!

It’s what makes the first 26 jabs really work! It’s the secret sauce!

Thanks for the info. In the U.S., we’re being offered the new shot for Omicron BA.4/5. We’ll see what happens this winter.

more probable that they would say your athletes foot was COVID, and tell you to take a booster.

Novavax has a vaccine which, like J&J use the NON MRNA "Old Fashioned" production method. Widely used throughout the world..., purposely slow-walked by FDA. It is far more effective and longer lasting against ALL Covid Variants.

Unfortunately, they didn't buy the government officials required to become widely used in the USA.

“J&J use the NON MRNA “Old Fashioned” production method.”

I was lucky. I had did a little on-line research going to research studies & was able to choose the one shot Johnson &
Johnson. But, it was more difficult to find. J&J actually posted link to where you could receive locally at the time.
