Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis says country could recommend boosters as early as three months after second shot
“The neutralizing ability of three shots of the Pfizer vaccine is four times less against Omicron than the Delta variant, according to researchers at Sheba Medical Center. The team looked at the ability of serums of 40 vaccinated healthcare workers to neutralize the Omicron variant – 20 who received the booster shot within the last month, and 20 who had only received two shots, the last one five or six months ago.
Those who received the second dose did not have any neutralization ability against the variant, while they continued to have some ability against Delta and even the original Wuhan strain.
“There was no neutralization ability whatsoever, and that is very worrisome,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay.
Lab tests conducted in South Africa last week showed that antibodies from two shots of the Pfizer vaccine may be up to 40 times less effective against the Omicron variant.”
This is turning into something so insane that a variant, equivalent to he common cold, milder than Delta, is now enemy number 1 to be eradicated at all costs. Crazy town.
