Repeat Booster Shots Spur European Warning on Immune-System Risks

 Repeat Booster Shots Spur European Warning on Immune-System Risks

European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune system and may not be feasible.

Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune system and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said.

The advice comes as some countries consider the possibility of offering people second booster shots in a bid to provide further protection against surging omicron infections. Earlier this month Israel became the first nation to start administering a second booster, or fourth shot, to those over 60. The U.K. has said that boosters are providing good levels of protection and there is no need for a second booster shot at the moment, but will review data as it evolves.

Boosters “can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy, said at a press briefing on Tuesday. “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”

The EU regulator also said at the briefing that oral and intravenous antivirals, such as Paxlovid and Remdesivir, maintain their efficacy against omicron. The agency said that April is the soonest it could approve a new vaccine targeting a specific variant, as the process takes about three to four months. Some of the world’s largest vaccine-makers have said they are looking at producing vaccines that could target new variants.

    As Omicron spreads globally, the risk of your child getting infected increases. Though the disease is generally mild, unvaccinated children may fall seriously ill as compared to vaccinated ones. The COVID-19 vaccine provides substantial protection against severe illness.

    If you have children ���� aged 5-11 years, the facts to these key questions can help you make an informed decision. Don’t miss the answers.

    Together, we can protect our loved ones and friends!

  2. Why bother with vaccines & booster shots:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/england-ends-all-covid-passports-mask-mandates-work-restrictions

    'Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home requirements will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday. Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic becomes endemic.

    Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home. The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26. And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in England.

    Roaring cheers from lawmakers could be heard in the House of Commons following Johnson’s announcements on masks.'

  3. This idiotic pig is a smaller version of Trump and simply blaming China for everything. Not sure which one is more stupid. He and Trump did not know why idiots like them were put into position of power in this pandemic.

    It is all according to God's plan to wipe them out. They are so happy to remove all restrictions and just go out and enjoy without any mask or distancing. And they are so happy about it, roaring in Parliament.

    This is the only way it is going to be, with the stupid happily spreading the virus to kill themselves willingly. Karma is at work and their time is over and marching to the cliff.

  4. Like I said, MOH will only recommend 4th jabs nearer the end of 2022, and only for those older than 70 & those who are immunocompromised with chronic conditions.

    Going forward, future covid jabs will be like flu jabs -- coincide with the annual winter season in northern hemisphere.

    In the meantime for the next 2 months until March, Singapore daily infections will rise to over 10,000 a day (many will not be captured by authorities). But will be mild with much lower percentage of hospitalised & ICU.

    By mid-2022, covid will be a passe has-been story in Singapore. This National Day will be the first in-person National Day in 3 years.

    Inflation will be bad in 2022 though. Those with jobs will be happy as salary increments will be high this year. Retirees will suck unless they have large investment portfolios/rental properties.

    2022's graduates will be lucky as their starting salaries will be the highest ever.

  5. "In the meantime for the next 2 months until March, Singapore daily infections will rise to over 10,000 a day (many will not be captured by authorities). But will be mild with much lower percentage of hospitalised & ICU."

    Even if the whole Singapore is infected 90%, they will say only 10% infected. This the modus operandi of the ruling party and lying is their DNA. The end justifies the mean.

  6. Temasek, GIC and MTI are big investors in the mRNA vaccines business. Their Chief Bosses, being very powerful, will push for Singapore dafts to go for regular perennial mRNA shots, every six to nine months. This is a foregone conclusion. Don't need Rocket Scientists to tell us.

  7. On Statistics and Surveys Pandits or Pundits

    Usually, truthful and sincere people do not need to resort to the use of statistics and surveys. They simply use logic, rationale and common sense.

    On the other spectrum, professional liars frequently make full use of statistical analysis and survey reports to CONvince and INFluence others. Do you know why?

    Very simple. It is because these two methods of operation (modus operandi) can be easily faked and manipulated to set the outcome the professional liars have already set out to deceive the public, who usually do not have the luxury, time or aptitude to examine the details of the set-up statistics and survey analysis reports.

    As such, the bigger/greater the liars, the more flagrantly and frequently statistical analysis presentations and conjured survey reports are quoted to support their lies.

    Therefore, for all intents and purposes, we commoners must never allow anyone who make use of statistical figures (they are treating us as digits) and survey analysis reports to influence your thoughts, to affect your common sense and to decide your decisions.


    Think wisely and form your own conclusions and make your own decisions. Don't simply follow the crowd, especially those who have stupidity that cannot be cured.

  8. This Covid-19 Pandemic reveals that at least 85% of Singapore citizens and residents are suffering from the "Stupidity Cannot Cure Syndrome" (SCCS). NOT just the 61% of voters.

    The blinded, boggling in the dark, masses are suffering from FEAR. This FEAR from getting infected and die has been enhanced by the Greedy Leaders who themselves are also suffering from FEAR, fear of the economy going bust and they will have to cut their pays

    Therefore, FEAR has driven both the Greedy Leaders and the majority of the People stupid.

    This called the blind leading the blinds.

  9. The evil, cruelty and ruthlessness of power-crazy people (paychopaths) when placed in positions of power to decide on the life and death of the ordinary masses know no boundaries.

    These power-addict freaks will display their utmost cruelty and ruthlessness for all to see once in power.

    No leader worth his salt, who claimed that he is caring and concerned for the well-being of the masses, the very people who voted him into the position of power in the first place, will be so forgetful and ungrateful to his supporters and voters by coming out with measures and policies to disadvantage, to penalise, to punish and to inflict pains and sufferings upon them.

    Worst of all is to deprive them of their livelihood just because they have chosen not to be vaccinated by a still highly suspect and questionable substance called the mRNA Vaccine.

    The world must not forget about such power-crazy leaders. They will have to answer for the cruelty and ruthlessness that they have inflicted upon the masses, especially those who VOLUNTEERED NOT TO BE VACCINATED WITH THE mRNA VACCINES.
