A fourth dose of Covid mRNA vaccine is not effective against Omicron infection, preliminary research from Israel has shown. Health Policy Watch has more.
“Despite a significant increase in antibodies after the fourth vaccine, this protection is only partially effective against the Omicron strain, which is relatively resistant to the vaccine,” lead researcher Prof Gili Regev-Yochay, told a media briefing on Monday.
Some 154 health workers at Sheba Medical Center received their fourth Pfizer shot two weeks ago. A week ago, 120 health workers received a shot of Moderna following three doses of Pfizer one week ago.
They were matched with a control group of around 6,000 health workers who have been being followed by the hospital since the start of Israel’s vaccination campaign in December 2020.
According to Regev-Yochay, the third dose resulted in “much higher antibodies, neutralisation and the antibodies were not just higher in quantity but also in quality” than the second dose – but the fourth vaccine did not show significant antibody increase.
“Maybe there are a few more antibodies but not much more compared to the third dose,” said Regev-Yochay.
Last week, she told Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that there had been a five-fold increase in antibodies in people who took the fourth dose, but she later told a radio station that “the amount of antibodies returns to the level it was after the third vaccine, not more. It’s nice, but it’s not what we expect from a booster”.
In addition, around the same percentage of hospital workers who received the fourth dose caught the virus as those who didn’t get the fourth booster.
With the UKHSA reporting three-dose protection against Omicron at under 50% after 10 weeks, this suggests a limit to what repeated shots of the same vaccine can achieve.
The findings come as Israel experiences a large surge in reported infections and ICU admissions, despite 65% of the country being at least double-dosed, 46% being triple-dosed, and some even quadruple-dosed. It will be interesting to see how this translates into deaths (how many of them are incidental admissions?), and what this might tell us about Omicron and vaccines.

Fifth time lucky?
It does make a difference. It gives them the virus and weakens the immune system
It will be 5th dose that makes the difference. Sorry, I meant the 6th. No, changed my mind, it will be the 7th. No. Wrong again. The 8th. Or will it be the 9th? I’ve just modelled it. The answer is the 10th. New data just coming in, it will be the…
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

I don’t know how else to interpret this other than their victims’ immune systems are no longer recognising the ersatz pathogen as a threat. What else would explain the lack of reaction?
I guess they could just be completely worn out by constantly fighting phantoms, but that sounds even worse. So, what happens now when they encounter the live version of this pathogen? Or any pathogen?
Nor did the first vaccines
In a nutshell.
Pissed myself laughing.
Natural selection disapproves of stupid.
Just a thought.
Fourth doses makes sure you have yet more pathogenic spike proteins manufactured in your own cells to overwhelm your immune system, possibly giving you a Cytokine Storm reaction and lethal side effects and inducing an “Immune Defficiency Syndrome” making you susceptible to any passing natural viral infection .
So they make a very big difference!
Australian state announces lockdown for the unvaccinated that could last ‘for years to come’
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/life-will-become-very-difficult-for-the-unvaccinated-australian-leader-to-impose-despotic-lockdown-on-the-un-jabbed/
‘Tie me unvaccinated down sport’ Thank god that I don’t live in Australia.
It’s absolutely wicked. And when infections continue, as they will, given that the magic jab does not stop transmission or infection, who are they going to blame then? Or are the going to say that the naughty unvaxxed have sneaked in to infect people on purpose? It wouldn’t surprise me; that would be their excuse to lock up the unvaxxed.
It is true the ardent lockdown authoritarians are becoming more passive, the likes of George Galloway, who would have had Australian style shutdown, was asserting on Sunday 3 jabs are enough, he’s now more worried about more jabs harming his immune system!
Galloway’s been absolutely all over the place on lockdown, from “we’re all going to die unless we stay indoors for ever” to “end it now” and back again.
Yes you’re right, I remember back in jan/feb 2020 he was saying how he wouldn’t wear a mask on a plane, & in March he berating government for not enough PPE. He’s an egomaniac, but it’s interesting to watch him gradually see what bollox the pandemic is. And now vaccines
Its completely insane – the taking of a vaccine that doesn’t work with unknown side effects and in some cases possibily even a fatal reaction, being made a condition for leading a normal life once again in places like Austria, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc etc.
Incredible.

Number is genuine, comes from St Richard’s Hospital Chichester.
If this is fake, whoever played the Dr on the phone gets the Oscar for sincerity.
Yes, obviously still scope for it to be fake but as you say if it is a fake it is a very good one, and we know that there is sufficient concern about children’s deaths post vaccine that the ONS seems to be covering up the numbers involved, so it’s entirely possible a change in policy is in the offing but the govt doesn’t want to announce it yet until it has “all its ducks in a row”.
Your headline would suggest that 4th boosters do make a difference, but not what was claimed. Instead they have a surge in infections and ICU admissions. Who is going to draw the right conclusions and end this madness?

But it DOES make a difference. Maybe not in ‘covid stopping’ terms, but in plenty of other ways, all of which are detrimental to the health of those who’ve taken it.

‘Fourth Vaccine Dose Makes No Difference.’
Just like the first three!
Turns out they didn’t find a cure for the common cold after all. But look on the bright side, vaccinators you’ve increased the risk of early heart attack!
A pre requisite for genocide is the creation of an ‘us’ and ‘them’
If two years ago anyone had said that people who refused to take part in a medical experiment would be held in camps, refused food, lose their jobs and deported they would have been dismissed as a nut jab
The hate against ‘them’ has been ramped up by the dictators and the media. The latest example of hate speech that the filthy foreigner has not made the same sacrifices as the good people of the Reich is just the latest example of bile and hatred coming from the Australian Dictator
What will trigger the murder of ‘them’ ? Who knows, but it is coming
Once the killing starts in one country it will spread to others
My best guess is that the killing will be sparked off by the increased deaths of ‘vax’ victims which will be blamed on ‘them’
If the fourth dose doesn’t work we will obviously need a fifth…
Evidence doesn’t seem to have played much part in previous decisions on how to control the public so I see no reason to expect it to do so in future.
Nah – just double the dose (or, let’s be conservative here, how about triple?!).
Pat yourself on the back if you are still not gene-therapied.
That decision looks smarter day by day.
My back is getting sore…
STOP TESTING
Incredible research here from Russ Brown. I always thought these things – Monoclonial Antibodies – sounded horrific, and it makes me suspicious of Peter McCullough as he hawks these things all the time. Maybe he is just totally establishment brainwashed as many of them seem to be in one way or another. But he and others could also be controlled opposition, and fits the bill in many ways for that.
IT GETS WORSE Satanic Monoclonial Antibodies & (Dead babies for sale in big brand foods)

The website fetalindustry.org has lots of useful information on this subject.
Can you overlay the timings of their 4 doses with that completely unrelated graph with 4 large peaks please?
Yet there are some folks who will continue to have them, believing the snake oil salesmen. They will have as many doses as it takes to kill them, and not one more.
Jordan Petersen has excelled himself with his latest YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu3ux1h_caU&ab_channel=FoxNews
Excellent video, builds to a good finish
The fourth vaccine dose doesn’t make any difference…
but the six hundred and seventy-fourth will!
(If they can find a squre inch of you that hasn’t been thoroughly perforated.)
Will you still be alive or does this now go beyond the grave?
It shames the entire world that ANY vaccine mandates exist, anywhere, when the data simply does not support AT ALL the idea that this is either necessary, effective or proportionate. Where are the human rights NGOs? Why are the human rights courts not hearing cases? Where are the media?
I found just one “totally independent NGO” who is protesting against vaccine passports & disproportionate governmental controls.
However, it mostly seems to be a ‘nudge’ against whoever is running the Tunisian government since the last revolutions de couleurs.
https://www.amnesty.org/fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/MDE3051202021ENGLISH.pdf
personally, I think Italy & maybe France have gone further than the Tunisian situation described here by Amnesty International, (an Advocacy Organisation where probably 95% of the staff believe they are doing what is right, perhaps it’s that high) Silence, as you say, about courts and rights, proportionate handling of data, and everything that underpins Freedom & Democracy.
In any rational society, if you were to invest time and energy into something with the promise that it will produce certain results, and those results are not forthcoming, or are only partially forthcoming, and the ones pushing the thing told you to keep taking the failed product, at the very least you’d start asking some serious questions. Wouldn’t you?
Now imagine the product is a novel and experimental technology which is injected into your body and carries with it both known and unknown risks of severe adverse events, all for a virus with a statistically negligible infection fatality rate.
Well, in any rational society, you’d tell those pushing the product to take a long walk off a short pier. Wouldn’t you?
