Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, USA, monitored over 47,500 employees for Covid infections during the first four months of 2024, when the JN.1 virus lineage was dominant.
They found that being vaccinated increased
infection risk by 46% with two doses, 95% with three doses and 151% with
more than three doses, when compared to having zero or one dose.
The
authors have been bolder this time in proposing that the vaccines
themselves are responsible for the increased risk - though they blame a
possible interaction with natural immunity rather than a direct effect
of the drug itself. They write:
Consistent with similar findings in many prior studies, a higher number of prior vaccine doses was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19. The exact reason for this finding is not clear. It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity. So, although somewhat protective in the short term, vaccination may increase risk of future infection because the act of vaccination prevents the occurrence of a more immunogenic event.
Thus,
the short-term protection provided by a COVID-19 vaccine comes with a
risk of increased susceptibility to COVID-19 in the future. This of
course supposes that the vaccines gave some protection in the first
place, which on this evidence seems doubtful....<<<Read More>>>...
