Coronavirus: Thread

[grarpamp]

Israel proves that Govts worldwide, lie to their people
harass hospitals and ignore the science, to help
the Govts image. Note that Govt has no reason to and
does not give a single actual shit about the "public health"
other than to own the public as chattel slaves
for its own benefit and that of the elite scammers
that are in it.


Fourth COVID Jab Won't Save Patients From Being Infected With Omicron,
Study Finds

The latest research out of Israel appears to confirm what skeptics
have long feared: even two or three booster shots aren't enough to
protect somebody - even those who are perfectly healthy - from being
infected with the omicron variant.

Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv last month tested a fourth jab given to
more than 270 medical workers; 154 got the Pfizer jab, and 120
received Moderna's jab.

The researchers' conclusions, revealed Monday, found that both groups
showed a "slightly higher" increase in antibodies following the fourth
injection than they saw after the third. Unfortunately, the levels
produced still weren't high enough to prevent infection via the
omicron variant, which is responsible for the bulk of new infections.

    "Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers
a partial defense against the virus," said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay,
director of the hospital’s infection disease unit leading the study.

The study saw "many infected with Omicron who received the fourth
dose," she said. "Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but
still a lot of infections."

    "The vaccines, which were more effective against previous
variants, offer less protection versus Omicron," Dr. Regev-Yochay
said. They added that the vaccines are "not good enough" to prevent
infection with the less-severe new variant.

Data from the study hasn't yet been published in full; only the
conclusions have.

But it was enough to raise questions about Israel's decision to be the
first country in the world to start doling out a second booster jab to
those deemed most at risk.

Even after publicizing its conclusions, Sheba Hospital called for
"continuing the vaccination drive...even though the vaccine doesn’t
provide optimal protection against getting infected with the variant."

The WHO will likely be less than pleased, as the organization has
repeatedly urged developed democracies to abandon booster drives and
instead allocate more jabs to poorer countries where vaccination is
far less pervasive.

Local media reported that Sheba Hospital was pressured by the
government to release its statement urging Israelis to get their
second booster after top Israeli officials didn't appreciate the
study's findings.

The director of Israeli's Health Ministry, Dr. Nahman Ash, insisted
that the country's decision to dole out second booster jabs wasn't a
"mistake", while PM Naftali Bennett insisted that doling out a 4th
shot to some Israelis would continue to help the government "safeguard
public health."
