JERUSALEM – Israeli researchers said on Saturday they found that a three-shot course of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine provided significant protection against the new Omicron variant. The findings were similar to those presented by BioNTech and Pfizer earlier in the week, which were an early signal that booster shots could be key to protect against infection from the newly identified variant.The study, carried out by Sheba Medical Center and the Health Ministry’s Central Virology Laboratory, compared the blood of 20 people who had received two vaccine doses 5-6 months earlier to the same number of individuals who had received a booster a month before.

“People who received the second dose 5 or 6 months ago do not have any neutralization ability against the Omicron. While they do have some against the Delta ,” Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the Infectious Diseases Unit at Sheba, told reporters.

OMICRON IS A NORMAL COLD, BENIGN!!! no more $$$. use the cocktail cure hcq+ivm

I’m okay, thanks though !

The desperation is too LOUD bro🤣🤣🤣🤣..

even four- shot why not.. as long as vaccine is available.. so that everybody can go back to normal..

Thanks but My Immune system will do the job itself.

the world uses all these NAb tests to interpret vaccine protection yet the DOH has no recommendation for testing, in fact DOH even cautions vs use. our citizens dont know what tests are available for them to use. people are suppressed. information is suppressed.

Give us this day our quarterly booster and lead us not into infection

What about a one shot Pfizer booster On top of a 2 shot Sinovac On top of a 2 shot AstraZeneca On top of a J&J on top of the whole menu?
