antibodies to fight Omicron than it does
other Covid variants, study finds

Original Article

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine could be significantly less effective against the newly discovered Omicron variant that it was against previous strains of the virus. Researchers at the African Health Research Institute (AHRI) found that there are forty times less antibodies in Pfizer vaccine recipients that can fight Omicron than there are for other variants. The pre-print study, made available Tuesday pending peer-review, implies that the vaccine could be less effective against the strain detected last month in South Africa. Conclusions from it cannot yet be drawn, though, and researchers are not yet sure how much more likely the Omicron variant is to cause infection

We'll all live forever if we get 40 booster shots to fend off this terrible menace. That's Science.

Since omicron is mild I don’t care. I almost hope I get it. If it becomes the dominant variant there is no reason to push the vaccines. I’ve had both shots and the booster. That’s it for me.

Everyone who would listen was warned by multiple virologists that vaccinating into a pandemic would enable the virus to mutate to evade the vaccine capability. This has specifically been predicted by ACTUAL experts for two years. They were told this before they started development of the non-vaccine "vaccines". So....the bad news is that their dangerous shot doesn't protect you. The good news is that apparently (not 100% sure yet) this newest version is substantially less lethal than previous strains. This, too, was predicted two years ago. History shows that deadly disease vectors mutate to become less lethal while the population of 'victims' adapt to become more resistant. Everything that Dr. Fraud has said and done has been totally WRONG. Fire that dangerous fool.

I got covid, along with my son and wife, a year ago. Pre-vaccine. I know some people have died of it but since then, we also know less than 1% of the people who get it get hospitalized. Like poster #1, a couple days into my less-bad-than-my-last-case-of-flu bug, I said to a friend that I was glad I got it. I would be done with it, have the antibodies. Which, of course, assumed others would follow the science.

Pfizer CEO says fourth Covid vaccine doses

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech. Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.(Snip)Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed

Maine has activated its national guard to assist hospitals across the state deal with a recent Covid surge, as the Northeast U.S. gets slammed by a surge in Covid cases.

Hillary Clinton lost, and now she needs to move on from the 2016 election. I’m not trying to be cruel or twist the knife. I mean this with all sincerity. She just needs to move on for her own good.

But she’ll never recover from her defeat so long as she continues to wallow in it, relentlessly poring over every excruciating detail. She’ll certainly never recover if she continues in both word and deed to define herself by her failed campaign.
