New Study: More Shots Mean Higher Risk of Getting COVID
A new study from the Cleveland Clinic seems to show that risk of being infected with COVID increases with the number of COVID shots taken.
Mainstream media are looking at this as if it’s new, but it only reiterates what we’ve known for over a year.
Jefferey Jaxen reported on this in January of 2022:
a new study looked at Canadians 18 years of age and over with provincial health insurance who had a PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 between November 22 and December 19, 2021. Despite excluding long-term care residents and people who had received only 1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine or who had received their second dose less than 7 days prior to being tested, the researchers found the following:
“…receipt of 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines was not protective against Omicron infection at any point in time, and VE was –38% (95%CI, –61%, –18%) 120-179 days and –42% (95%CI, –69%, –19%) 180-239 days after the second dose. VE against Omicron was 37% (95%CI, 19-50%) ≥7 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the third dose. Findings were consistent for any combination of 2 mRNA vaccines and 2 doses of BNT162b2 for the primary series.”
The authors concluded that “two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta.”
In Denmark, a similar study was being conducted using vaccination data extracted from Danish nationwide registries. Looking at the vaccine effectiveness of both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID shot against the Omicron variant up to five months after each version’s 2-dose vaccination series.
Again, negative efficacy or a greater likelihood of infection among those who received the COVID shot.
Looking at U.K. data, excess Covid cases are hitting the vaccinated groups. Looking at the U.K. Health Security Agency’s Week 1 Covid-19 Vaccine Surveillance Report, a Substack writer keenly gleaned that nearly 370,000 more vaccinated cases in the 18 – 29 age group; and over 341,000 more vaccinated cases in the 30 -39 age group.
Even the headlines are telling a similar story. The Herald out of Scotland is reporting “double-jabbed Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with Covid than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity.”
How about South Africa where only 27 percent of its population are fully vaccinated against COVID-19? A recent study has shown that unvaccinated people infected with the Omicron variant are less likely to fall seriously ill, require hospitalization or die compared to the previous COVID-19 variants.
The following chart shows the Covid-19 case-rate per 100,000 by vaccination status in England between 3rd Jan and 27th March 2022, separated by age group and week. The data has been extracted from the the Week 5, (page 47), Week 9 (page 45) and Week 13 (page 45) UKHSA Covid-19 Vaccine Surveillance reports –
