BOOSTERS URGENTLY—Singapore wave spiking so hard that 50% of all hospitalizations & 32% of all #COVID19 deaths are breakthroughs—all while 98% cases asymptomatic or mild & 83% of Flag of Singapore population is 2-dose vaccinated. Vaccines work—but #DeltaVariant is risky!

 

WHERE WAS THIS WHERE YOU WENT TO GET SHOT ?

 

Israeli Booster Study -

RESULTS Confirmed infection rates were ≈10-fold lower in the booster versus nonbooster group (ranging 8.8-17.6 across five age groups) and 4.8-11.2 fold lower in the secondary analysis. Severe illness rates in the primary and secondary analysis were 18.7-fold (95% CI, 15.7-22.4) and 6.5-fold (95% CI, 5.1-8.3) lower for ages 60+, and 22.0-fold (95% CI, 10.3-47.0) and 3.2-fold (95% CI, 1.1-9.6) lower for ages 40-60. For ages 60+, COVID-19 associated death rates were 14.7-fold (95% CI, 9.4-23.1) lower in the primary analysis and 4.8-fold (95% CI, 2.8-8.2) lower in the secondary analysis.

CONCLUSIONS Across all age groups, rates of confirmed infection and severe illness were substantially lower among those who received a booster dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Thursday cleared booster shots of Moderna’s and Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccines, giving people the freedom to mix and match any of the three vaccines approved for use in the U.S., the agency said in a statement.

Those of us who got Sinovac should have the opportunity to get a more effective booster shot from another vaccine maker.

My wife got Moderna, so getting your wife to use kinship and friendship connections sometimes works out.
