Gov. Ron DeSantis mischaracterized the findings of an unpublished study on the bivalent booster. One of the researchers told PolitiFact that the dose is, in fact, 30% effective in preventing infection.

The data collected on the booster's ability to curb infection is early and limited; some clinical trialsthat bivalent shots are no more equipped to prevent people from contracting COVID-19 than the original vaccines.

The governor's press office responded to PolitiFact's inquiry about the claim shortly after publication, citing two articles and three studies, two of which are not yet peer reviewed. The most recent came from the Cleveland Clinic and was discussed in anDr. Nabin Shrestha, an infectious disease physician and one of the study's authors, told PolitiFact that the data did not find a link between the bivalent shot and a higher risk of contracting COVID-19.

The Cleveland Clinic researchers were not trying to determine the bivalent vaccine's effectiveness in preventing severe illness or hospitalization.

Lol

PolitaFact is right for once. It’s 0% effective

Remember when the Covid vaccine was 100% effective at stopping transmission and backed by science? 😂

Will you be revisiting the Douglas Wise and Charles McGonigal stories this week PolitiFact? I’m certain you would want to make any necessary corrections based on what came to light this past week.

Politifact fails to note the many daily mischaracterizations by corporate media.
