2/ “The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study, was unexpected. A simplistic explanation might be that those who received more doses were more likely to be individuals at higher risk of COVID-19.”
3/“A small proportion of individuals may have fit this description. However, the majority of subjects in this study were generally young individuals and all were eligible to have received at least 3 doses of vacc. by the study start date,…”
4/“Therefore, those who received fewer than 3 doses (>45% of individuals in the study) were not those ineligible to receive the vaccine, but those who chose not to follow the CDC’s recommendations on remaining updated with COVID-19 vaccination, and one could reasonably expect ..”
5/“these individuals to have been more likely to have exhibited higher risk- taking behavior. Despite this, their risk of acquiring COVID-19 was lower than those who received a larger number of prior vaccine doses. “
6/“This is not the only study to find a possible association with more prior vaccine doses and higher risk of COVID-19.”
7/“A large study found that those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving three doses of vaccine had a higher risk of reinfection than..” those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving two doses of vaccine [21].”
8/“Another study found that receipt of two or three doses of a mRNA vaccine following prior COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of reinfection than receipt of a single dose [7].”
9/They admit: “We still have a lot to learn about protection from COVID-19 vaccination, and in addition to a vaccine’s effectiveness it is important to examine whether multiple vaccine doses given over time may not be having the beneficial effect that is generally assumed.”
10/Also, they admit that they can’t calculate the effectiveness of the bivalent vaccine to reduce severe disease because there wasn’t enough people who demonstrated severe disease.
11/ Reference: medrxiv.org
12/ Obvious question: If COVID is innocuous enough now that severe disease is so rare that it can’t even be detected in a vaccine effectiveness study, and the number of doses of said vaccine increase the risk of acquiring COVID, then why be injected???
13/(And a shameless plug —->)
