Frequent Boosters Spur Warning on Immune Response
« on: January 14, 2022, 02:43:34 pm »
Bloomberg By Irina Anghel 1/11/2022

European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. 

Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said.

The advice comes as some countries consider the possibility of offering people second booster shots in a bid to provide further protection against surging omicron infections. Earlier this month Israel became the first nation to start administering a second booster, or fourth shot, to those over 60. The U.K. has said that boosters are providing good levels of protection and there is no need for a second booster shot at the moment, but will review data as it evolves.

Remember... and this is the pharmaceutical companies' and governments' own data:

The original vaccines provided 70% protection against the original strains (and the alpha strain of last winter), and 95% with two doses. By the time of Omicron, it had diminished to 35% with two doses.

The third dose only restored it to 70% protection—meaning it only reduces the chance of infection by half compared to two doses.

So the original series was 95%, but that dropped to 50% with the next shot. You're seeing that fatigue play out already.

In contrast, the polio shot was 90% after two shots, and over 99% with three, with the last one administered years after the other two. That protection endures to the present day.

There are no two ways around this: we are dealing with a failing vaccine.

Repeat Boosters Could Weaken Immune System Say European Regulators

Kay Smythe   |   January 15, 2022


Regulators for the European Union have issued a warning that frequent COVID-19 booster shots could have an adverse affect on the immune system, and may not be a feasible means of combating the pandemic. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) reported that having repeat booster shots every four months could weaken the human immune system.

Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of Biological Health Threats and Vaccine Strategy stated in a press briefing that boosters “can be done one or maybe twice, but we don’t think it should be repeated all the time.”

He continued, “We need to think about how we can move from the current pandemic environments to a more endemic one.”

Cavaleri further stated that by giving people consistent booster shots, there is a risk of overloading the immune system and creating fatigue in the population.  .  .  .

Gee, who could have ever imagined that an experimental mRNA injection engineered with specifically designed programming to turn off the human immune response could weaken the immune system.

Why does this surprise anyone?

History has shown that natural immunity is the best,and that vaccines should only be given to those who have no immunity to any particular disease.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

@sneakypete it shouldn't be a newsflash to anyone.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
