Blacklabel....
Again, not true at all. The vaccine does not, did not and will not completely prevent you from getting infected. It does help are varying rates depending on the variant. Omicron not so much.
What the vaccine WILL do is prevent you from becoming seriously ill. In the ratio of more shots the better.
But you know that, it just doesnt suit your narrative of anti vaccine.

Blacklabel says
which is false. "Little difference" is a very different thing to "no impact at all".
Yes, people can read the article... and the comments here.
Blacklabel
The trial compared people with a fourth dose to those with three and found little difference.
that is in the article itself near the top, thus is one of the primary conclusions of said article.
but nice deflection try. people can read the article if they care to.
Blacklabel
my source is more recent than your Jan 4th article. so there is such conclusion.
The trial compared people with a fourth dose to those with three and found little difference.

This is what the Israeli study revealed.
Also as new variants develop vaccines need to be adjusted to handle them, this is common sense.

dear sir please do not share wrong facts, there is no such conclusion!
Blacklabel
but 4 was found to have no impact at all, strangely.

Bronco...
No they are NOT. Its still two but three is better. Not perfect but WILL make you much less likely to end up sick.
Its really, really simple. The more vaccine you have, the less likely you are to end up in the hospital. 3 better than two, two better than 1 and one better than nothing.

two or three. That means people with two or three doses have less chance of hospitalization. Let’s not forget that some vaccine programs only have a single dose. Incomplete means not completed. It doesn’t mean people with 2 shots or less are unvaccinated. Only people with zero shots are unvaccinated.
Confusius
I absolutely hate writing on this website using my phone...
"... incomplete vaccination is 17 greater than for elderly with three doses." Why doesn't it say that if two doses equal incomplete vaccination?
Confusius
Why not quote the whole sentences?
The part with the three doses is obviously about those with comorbidities.
Again looks different from what you claim.
That quite clearly contradicts what you claimed also. According to you the sentence should read "...incomplete vaccination is 17 greater than for elderly
Haaa Nemui
but it doesn’t.

Did you just assume their gender? Unbelievable.

Improving.
So you mean that those who have had a third jab are less likely to become seriously ill or die?
Haaa Nemui
"both" means all. They are fully vaccinated. A booster is an extra shot after a time of about 6 months in most countries. Until that time... 2 shots is fully vaccinated. 40% of Brazilians have received their booster. With such a slow start to things it appears Brazilians are not taking the disinformation. That's awesome.
Jimizo
In among the usual paranoia, walls closing in etc., are you trying to say the boosters work?
It’s sometimes hard to know what you’re trying to say.

‘She’. If you can’t manage basic reading I can’t give any merit to anything you say.
Why was your last account banned bb?

Medical study after medical study shows that those unvaccinated are between 3 and 20 times more likely to become hospitalized and die from COVID than those vaccinated - yet the far-right in the US continue to follow Democrat scion RFK Jr rather than their exalted leader Trump...
So-called far-right media outlets and their pliant politician cohorts manipulate and con the MAGA,masses - taking their money, and now taking their lives...which they finally realize as they take their last breath....
Shortly before dying of Covid-19, a father in Los Angeles texted family members to express his regret over not getting vaccinated. Christian Cabrera, 40, tested positive for the coronavirus around Christmas. “I can’t breathe again,” he texted his brother, according to KTLA. “I really regret not getting my vaccine. If I can do it all over again I would do it in a heartbeat to save my life. I’m fighting for my life here and I wish I [had] gotten vaccinated.”

Paragraph 3. This Doctor is lying? Why?
Haaa Nemui
We have a broken record above. Same thing, day in, day out, jumping on one small line and fully taking it out of context, pushing it to prove his agenda, without regard for anybody else. That’s not misinformation… that’s disinformation.
Mr Kipling
The vaccinated are not ending up in hospital and especially in a serious condition compared to the un-vaccinated. They can still get infected but at lower levels ( marginally lower for two jabs for omicron) than the un jabbed.
Not rocket science.
If you have comorbidities or are over 65 years old then to not be vaccinated and boosted is rather foolish if you have the chance.
Jero Sakura
Basically what the media is saying is: "the vaccinated is NOT being infected or hospitalized"...
will someone fact check this..
