* Protection From the New COVID-19 Vaccines Is Weak and Short-Lived
More evidence for this keeps coming in: The new bivalent vaccines are much less effective than advertised. When introduced, there were comments about their ability to protect against serious illness and hospitalization for a year or more. As it turns out, they offer only moderate protection. In the most recent study, the new vaccines initially increased protection against hospitalization by 52%, but that quickly dropped to 36% in 60 days.
Despite the bad results, US authorities are preparing to replace all the original Pfizer and Moderna vaccines with the bivalent, taking the position that some protection is better than none.
