5th April Study Out of Israel Shows 4th Dose Booster Efficacy Falls Rapidly Within 6 weeks.
Monthly Boosters anyone?
A new study (PDF here) of 2 million people, just out of Israel, and published in NJEM on 5th April 2022, elegantly designed as discussed and comprehensively explained here by Dr. Been has found that a 4th dose of Pfizer provides only short lived protection against confirmed infection. Protection against confirmed infection reaches its maximum 4 weeks post dosing, and returns almost baseline (only 10% infection protection vs baseline) by 8 weeks post dosing. There appears to still be some protection against severe illness at 6 weeks.
Short lived protection vs. accumulating chance of side effects with each dose? When did we ever have a product with possible severe side effects in exchange for 10% projection?
In the Philippines we currently have no pandemic and very low infection rates (a few 100 / day out of 110 million population). Anyone getting boosted now will have lost most or maybe all protection before we have another wave in May or June; if the dire predictions of the WHO and our Government Authorities even come true.
