Coronavirus boosters cut hospitalization risk by at least 50%, CDC data shows

Adults who received the updated coronavirus booster shots are better protected against severe disease than those who haven’t, cutting their risk of having to visit an emergency room or being hospitalized with covid-19 by 50 percent or more, according to new federal data.

Two reports released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give the first detailed look at how well the updated boosters from Pfizer and Moderna protect against serious illness. But uptake of the “bivalent” boosters rolled out in September has been low among vaccine-weary Americans, with only about 14 percent of those eligible — ages 5 and older — having received an updated shot...

For people 65 and older who have received the updated booster, “there is significant added protection against severe disease and hospitalization,” Link-Gelles said. “You’re really getting in the sort of range of 70 to 80 percent extra protection on top of your monovalent or your older vaccine doses.”

But about 150 million Americans who are eligible for an updated booster have yet to receive one. That includes more than 28 million who are 65 years and older, the population at highest risk for severe covid-19, who have not had a shot in more than 11 months, she said.

We might as well accept it: They will NEVER give up!

It will NOT stop until the hangings start. These scumbags are guilty of murder- withholding safe and effective approved drugs like IVM and HCQ. 40% of drugs used by doctors are OFF LABEL use.

Funny how the murderers at FDA, CDC, NAIDA ALL wanted to stop off label use of drugs for C-19. We can't have cheap, EFFECTIVE drugs competing with PHARMA profits.

This crucial data is brought to you by the same people who told you that if you got vaccinated you could not spread COVID-19 even though they never tested for that and knew it was a lie so that they could guilt more people into getting vaccinated.

What are your thoughts?

I haven't seen anything posted to make me think the CDC data's wrong but people are free to do with it what they will.

Make sense?

This may be true or not. The CDC has lied for the past three years about Covid. What is true?

Been 2500IU/day for years. And haven't been sick in years. When all this COVID scamdemic started I upped the dosage to 5000IU/day. Still haven't been sick.

Thank you. But I have to give the real thanks to IVM and zinc with D3 helping.
