Wall Street Journal: “Studies show [the boosters] fail to live up to their promise, but vaccine makers and experts keep pushing them.”
The Wall Street Journal has launched a stinging attack on Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers for their campaign to persuade governments and the general public to accept bivalent Covid-19 booster shots.
Key quotes:
Federal agencies took the unprecedented step of ordering vaccine makers to produce them and recommending them without data supporting their safety or efficacy.
The virus is evolving much faster than the vaccines can be updated
Vaccines have hard-wired our immune systems to respond to the original Wuhan strain
Antibodies rapidly wane after a few months.
As antibodies waned and new variants took over later in the fall, their protection against infection probably dropped to zero.
“There’s a growing consensus that we need better vaccines and treatments to protect those still at risk. But we also need honest public-health leaders.”
