This is a short post — but the two studies cited have incredible implications.
Turns out, as was pointed out many times here, that negative effectiveness of vaccines and rapidly waning (and soon going negative) effectiveness of boosters against Omicron, received another and very important scientific confirmation.
It turns out that just three months after “primary vaccination”, VE against Omicron turns into very negative territory. Instead of being a protective device, like a life jacket, vaccination instead becomes harmful, like a chain attached to an ankle.
Boosters to the Rescue
The mRNA magic soup does restores “protection”, but in a very odd manner:
the first two weeks past the booster shot give the vaccinee stronly NEGATIVE or at least NO protection (depending on primary series). This is why people who received a booster shot, are not considered “fully boosted” until two weeks pass after the jab. The infections occurring in these first two weeks are not officially counted “against” the booster, overstating effectiveness of this treatment. This is discussed in my article “Boris Johnson's Biggest Blunder”.
Then at two weeks, according to the UK, booster becomes great again, and vaccinees enjoy “protection”, however only amounting to measly 55%. However, booster protection starts declining right away. By just extrapolating the line, booster protection may evaporate after about 17 weeks. (nobody knows exactly when, but you get the idea)
So the boosted have two terrible first weeks, then a few decent weeks, quickly turning into so-so protection, and going to no protection again in 17 weeks, give or take.
If this is not “vaccine failure”, then what is?
But still somehow this will be the fault of the unvaccinated for their failure to get onboard the Titanic (I mean life boat) for the good of the community (I mean drug companies).
I use an umbrella analogy.
It is a hard wind driven rainstorm. You (the jabbed) are carrying an umbrella. Me (the unjabbed pure blood with natural immunity) only have a short run to my car and park in a garage at home, so I am only wearing a raincoat. You obviously get soaking wet while outside waiting for your bus, while I am only slightly damp when I get home. But you blame me for not carrying an umbrella as the reason you got wet.
The stupidity is astounding.
