According to the 2024 Cleveland Clinic study the COVID mRNA vaccines actually have [negative] efficacy. The more doses the more likely the person was to develop COVID infection.
Snip:
"Risk of COVID-19 was lower among those previously infected with an XBB or more recent lineage and increased with the number of vaccine doses previously received."
That's study has been memoryholed and buried by legacy media. The left-wing "fact check" organizations worked aggressively to discredit the findings and implications. The authors of the Cleveland Clinic study were also quite mealy mouthed. They noted that the study showed that the vaccine reduced infection by 30% prior to JN.1 variant dominance. Problem is JN.1 became dominate shortly after the 2023/24 booster was released. By December 2023, well before most people even received the booster, JN.1 became the dominate strain of COVID-19. This rendered the booster completely ineffective. In fact, the non-vaxxed cohort in the study were less likely to be infected by COVID-19.
Even under the most narrowly slanted view of the 2023/24 COVID booster shot it only provided 30% protection for the short time window between September and December 2023 and 0, or even negative protection thereafter.
Big Pharma is evil and greedy. I don't know why people suddenly forgot this common widely agreed on truth among people across the political spectrum. But leftists would rather deny reality than concede that Trumpers were right about the vax.
From your preferred study:
The 2023-2024 formula vaccinated state was associated with a significantly lower risk of COVID-19 before the JN.1 lineage became dominant.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
