The ability of the COVID-19 vaccines to prevent severe illness and hospitalization wanes over time, a CDC study finds. Researchers at the agency found that the effectiveness of severe illness prevention drops from as high as 89 percent to as low as 75 percent 120 days after the second shot of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is received. The data was gathered by the agency from February to September, though, meaning the Omicron variant had not yet been discovered at the time. Still, the CDC researchers say that these data show the need for Covid booster shots, especially among people who are more vulnerable to the virus.

These data show the need for THERAPEUTICS!

I want to know if the risk to your heart diminishes over time. I got the damn jab but I now wish I hadn't

Starting to sound more and more like these shots are their version of therapeutics since they don't last very long like the MMR we get when we're children.
Don't recall that one reducing in efficacy even years afterwards, or anyone being concerned they will get measles 10 years after getting the MMR vaccine.

Confusing numbers
FTA "After 120 days, the Pfizer vaccine's ability to prevent hospitalization drops from 86% to 75%, the study finds". That's easy enough to understand, probably.
FTA "For Moderna recipients, their risk of hospitalization goes from a 89% drop to a 86% drop after the first four months". What does this mean? Did it drop from 89% to 86%, which is probably within the margin of error? If so, why not word it like the Pfizer words? What does it mean to go from a 89% DROP to a 86% DROP?
Intentional confusion. You would think that the Brits could use English properly.

I would like to believe that any pharmaceutical company which put out a Vaccine that was literally useless after 120 days would be working on an entirely new vaccine instead of touting more boosters for the one they have.
I guess not.

I doubt that this is factual. It probably isn't that high.
We need REAL TREATMENTS, like ivermectin, HCQ and the MATH+ protocol, which SAVES LIVES.

This shot does not perform as advertised. They just need to admit that.

What politician has the guts to turn off the cash cow called the “vaccine”. It doesn’t work and is not needed

I'm 67 and have Asthma. I got both shots and the booster because I don't want to risk hospitalization or death. But I don't want anybody to be forced to get the shots. I guess I'm old enough to remember what it's like to be an American.

It's all about money and control. Do you honestly think Democrats care if you die??? Of course not. They'll just replace you with illegals. It's already happening.

Following the typical logarithmic curve, it will be at Zero before the next week is out...

And just this morning on Maria Bartiromo’s show, she was interviewing, er sucking up, to the Moderna CEO on all new vaccines coming out, boosters, etc. Sickening. No questions from Maria about the rush/push for more ineffective vaccines, what aren't the vaccines actually preventing someone from getting the virus, etc.

The vaccines do not work. They may still prove to cause Antigen Dependent Disease especially in the young. American Doctors have the worse world-wide record at treating Covid-19. Beware of hospitals with their respirator death machines.

Sorry, that would be Antibody Enhanced Disease, in which a vaccinated person gets sicker. The young are resistant to severe Covid but after vaccination not so much.

The medical, epidemiological, and pharmaceutical professionals have lost all credibility with this endless and senseless cycling of "the vaccine that isn't really a vaccine and doesn't really work well/at all maybe"...but you have to keep getting boosters...or else!

That's because the "vaccine" is nothing but a glorified flu shot! They are throwing darts at the board hoping one hits the bull's-eye.
And this is why, years ago, you needed to get only ONE vaccine shot for T.B., polio, whooping cough, chicken pox, etc. Those shots were real vaccines.
The Pfizer, Moderna, et.al. "vaccine" is nothing but a pot-shot!

CDC, I wonder how many aborted baby parts it takes to make a Covid vaccine?

200 million vaccinated.
At best the infection rate for 2021 is the same as 2020.
The vaccine is not working!
What would the infection rate be if there was no vaccine at all?

Being as the Delta variant did not show up in the USA until July, 5 months after this alleged "study" I'd say the data and conclusions are pretty much useless and likely useless by design. By early Fall these vaccines were probably an order of magnitude less effective then they were back in February. Tell me the result you want and I'll design a "study" to prove it. You want to prove Ivermectin does not work and is dangerous? I'll inject people with a dosage that would kill a horse let alone the 85 year old stage IV cancer victim I am giving it to. That will prove the horse dewormer is ineffective and deadly despite the fact that tens of millions of people have taken it for decades with fewer deaths then the covid vax has produced from myocarditis alone.

Look up Snake Oil.
That's your vaccine.

There's a whole lot of nuance with these shots and how long it takes for the supposed protection takes to wear off. Not unlike Barry Zero and his "jobs created or saved" statistics; it's anything you want it to be. Here, it just shows that boosters are needed every 4 to 6 months to keep the money flowing to Big Pharma.
