Do boosters save people from getting very sick with Covid? New data from Britain say the opposite.

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

The mRNA vaccine miracle just keeps getting more special. Don’t blame me; the numbers come straight from the British government.

Newly mRNA boosted adults aged 40-74 are now TWICE as likely to be hospitalized for Covid as those who haven’t recently been boosted, a new British government report shows.

Vaccine advocates endlessly claim that though mRNA shots fail against Omicron infection in weeks, they still miraculously prevent Covid from becoming a serious illness that could require hospitalization.

These figures, which cover hospitalizations in June, suggest otherwise.

(See that blue bar? Those are the people who have had a booster within the last three months. That bar supposed to be lower than the other bars, not higher. Higher is bad.)

The data are buried on page 47 of the most recent Covid vaccine surveillance report, released Sept. 1 by the United Kingdom Health Security Agency. The British government checks hospitals for Covid patients and then compares them to its national immunization registry, providing comprehensive data on cases by vaccine status.

The report shows that in June, people aged 40 to 74 who had received an mRNA booster within the last three months had a 1-in-3,600 risk of being hospitalized with Covid. That figure was double the 1-in-7,200 risk for people who had received their last Covid jab more than six months ago. (It also shows that the jabs stopped working after three months for people 75 and older.)

The British government removed some raw data about Covid deaths and hospitalizations from the vaccine surveillance report months ago, when they began to show vaccines were not working well. Still, it remains a better source of information than anything the United States offers.

To explain the apparently negative effect of boosters, the report’s authors suggest that people 40 to 74 who received a third or fourth shot in the spring might be sicker than average Britons.

But they offer no evidence to support that theory.

Another possibility, of course, is that the antibodies that the vaccines cause people to make may actually somewhat worsen Omicron infections, a phenomenon known as antibody-dependent enhancement.

However, in people 75 and older, the boosters still seem to have some short-term protective effect – though another tricky epidemiological phenomenon known as healthy vaccine user bias means the benefit is probably much less than it appears.

The HSA survey also shows that almost everyone who is hospitalized with Covid in Britain has had at least two vaccine shots, including 87 percent of people 40-64 and close to 95 percent of those 65 and over.

The vast majority of those have had three shots.

 

Data this ugly could help explain why the White House is now proposing Americans get mRNA shots only once a year, a significant easing of previous pressure to get jabbed twice or even three times a year.

Of course, the fact that vaccine demand has collapsed completely and midterm elections are only two months away might also be playing a role.

How does one prove something prevents a specific level of severity?

This has to be the most nonsensical claim ever made.

Hmm… If nobody in 1 billion users would get to that specific level of severity within a few years, I’d take it as solid proof.

What level of severity? the claim is that Covid 19 was a novel virus- brand new- therefore you have no baseline of severity to measure against.

This is a perfect example of proving a negative.

What level:
So you never for example step into an elevator or walk across a bridge until it’s proven it won’t collapse under you, just that moment?
That makes living rather difficult… even though living is always fraught with mortal danger.

That’s a perfect example why theoretical exercises can easily be stretched into pointless territory.

The original question is “how do you prove a negative”.

And I answered how do you prove a bridge won’t collapse under you before you are planning to walk over it.
You can’t [prove that].

But we accept a 0.0000000001% probability as a “proven negative” [that it won’t collapse], for better or worse.
(Or you can stand in front of that bridge for the rest of your life and do philosophical, respectively semantical exercises.)

Just like when people get very sick after taking the jab, when they say feeling awful is proof the jab is working.

It is completely unscientific and they train you better than that in a general undergrad science program. It is why I had to leave.

Used to say, ‘Did you get the vaxx?’
Now, ‘Did you get the booster?’
US has been morphing into a culture of death and away from Christian faith.

That’s what it is. I talk to people who try to live a Christian life, but they are surrounded by unrepentant sinners. It doesn’t really work. Most people in this country are openly in defiance of God and I don’t mean to be a hypocrite, because I will be honest about my sinfulness, if you ask. I am a work in progress. But I am also a believer and have made many changes already.

When we do God’s will, we are rewarded in this life better than any hedonistic pleasures can offer, but it requires discomfort. I think people are going to have to learn that whether they want to or not, whether they believe or not.

New study finds organ recipients rejecting transplant after receiving COVID vaccine

According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, acute corneal allografts are being rejected by immunized patients who’ve undergone the procedure. Researchers say the underlying cause could be tied to a systemic inflammatory response elicited by the shot post-jab…

Japanese researchers compiled data from 23 studies. A total of 23 eyes from 21 patients who had undergone corneal graft procedures were assessed. Graft rejection occurred anywhere from one day to six weeks after vaccination in all patients–some who underwent the procedure as far back as twenty years ago.
