"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
COVID-19 booster shots lose effectiveness rapidly, with protection plummeting by the fourth month post-shot
Within four to five months post-booster, protection against COVID-19-related emergency department and urgent care visits decreased to 66%, then fell to just 31% after five months or more post-booster
Regulators are already hinting that a fourth COVID-19 shot may be necessary
Moderna, Pfizer and other vaccine makers have begun clinical trials for COVID-19 shots that target the Omicron variant specifically, but studies have failed to show any advantage to the new shots
Artificially inflated antibodies caused by repeated booster shots could lead to health problems, including autoimmune conditions
If you’ve had COVID-19, even a mild case, you’ve more than likely got long-term — potentially even lifelong — immunity that’s superior to what existing COVID-19 shots provide
COVID-19 booster shots lose effectiveness rapidly, with protection plummeting by the fourth month post-shot.
The eye-raising data, presented by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, follows the same dismal pattern of effectiveness displayed by the primary mRNA COVID-19 shot series, whose effectiveness also wanes in a matter of months.
When one or two doses of COVID-19 shots didn’t work to end the pandemic, health officials stressed that a third booster dose was necessary.
It now states, “Most people need booster shots,” and recommends the Pfizer-BioNTech booster for everyone 12 years and older, at least five months after the first set of shots.
But with evidence that the booster shots become significantly less effective within just four months, it’s opened the door for ongoing shots in the future, which could have serious ramifications for human health.
Booster Shot Effectiveness Plummets in Four Months
The CDC-funded study involved data from 10 states collected from August 26, 2021, to January 22, 2022, periods during which both Delta and Omicron variants were circulating.
Visits to emergency rooms and urgent care facilities, as well as hospitalizations, among people seeking medical care for COVID-19 were analyzed.
The study did not include milder COVID-19 cases, for which no medical attention was sought.
While initially vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19-associated emergency department or urgent care visits and hospitalizations was higher after the booster shot,
compared to the second COVID-19 injection,
effectiveness waned as time passed since vaccination.
Within two months of the second COVID-19 shot, protection against emergency department and urgent care visits related to COVID-19 was at 69%.
This dropped to 37% after five months post-shot." ...
