Covid Vaccines Significantly Less Effective in People With Severe Obesity, Study Suggests

by Will Jones
9 May 2022 12:30 PM

People with severe obesity generate a significantly weaker immune response to COVID-19 vaccination compared to those with normal weight, but the previously infected do not have this problem, a study has found. The study was conducted by Professor Volkan Demirhan Yumuk from Istanbul University and colleagues and was presented at the European Congress on Obesity in the Netherlands last week. SciTechDaily has more.

Obesity is a disease complicating the course of COVID-19, and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine antibody response in adults with obesity may be compromised. Vaccines against influenza, hepatitis B, and rabies, have shown reduced responses in people with obesity…

Researchers measured antibody levels in blood samples taken from patients and normal weight controls who had received two doses of either the Pfizer/BioNTech or CoronaVac [Sinovac] vaccine and had their second dose four weeks earlier. The participants were classified by infection history as either previously having COVID-19 or not (confirmed by their antibody profile)…

In those without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech, patients with severe obesity had antibody levels more than three times lower than normal weight controls (average 5,823 vs 19,371 AU/ml).

Similarly, in participants with no prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccinated with CoronaVac, patients with severe obesity had antibody levels 27 times lower than normal weight controls (average 178 vs 4,894 AU/ml).

However, in those with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, antibody levels in patients with severe obesity and vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech or CoronaVac were not significantly different from normal weight controls (average 39,043 vs 14,115 AU/ml and 3,221 vs 7,060 AU/ml, respectively).

With obesity a major predictor of serious disease and death in Covid patients, that’s not good news for vaccine efficacy.

Worth reading in full.

It is truly remarkable how keen governments worldwide are to ignore this.

I personally know 3 people who ended up in hospital having heart ops after the vaccine in 2021; it may be that they had underlying weaknesses which were exploited by the vaccine and that was a pattern I saw throughout 2021. Never before, never since.
To add to the heart cases I personally knew:
1 complete kidney failure (for 3 weeks until the effects of the jab wore off) stated by the hospital to have been induced by the jab
1 liver failure ( underlying condition which had been well managed until the jab)
1 pericarditis after the first jab, unbelievably he was advised he could have the second one, which he did and which predictably made him worse
1 man with copd who had spent 2 years completely isolated apart from getting the jabs, died from an undiagnosed issue with his heart (not copd as was expected) following 3 spells in hospital after the booster
1 x healthy 32 year old with a stroke

The thing is, most of these would be described as underlying conditions if they had died. So, as indicated in the article, the numbers dying from the jab must be much higher than this study suggests.

Yet people still refuse to believe it.

It’s not that they refuse to believe it. They do not want to believe it, for rather understandable reasons. To me it is quite clear that an ever-increasing number of people are indeed believing it and getting very concerned.

Fair point, and you are right, there is much more scepticism about vaccines generally now.

That may well be true, and if it is, we could be looking at further “side effects” caused by it – via other illnesses in the long term.

A friend whose husband has now had two serious heart attacks post jabs has finally accepted that there may, at the very least, be a connection and they won’t be having any more.

I have posted this before, a friend of mine died from a massive heart attack less than 24 hours after being “boosted.” He was at home and had no prior heart problems, working and fit. The coroner refused an autopsy on the grounds that his death was one of those things but definitely nothing to do with the “vaccine.”

Yeah right.

Not fully stabbinated until day 21…so based on the ‘rules’ the quacksines were not responsible, says the cult and religion of the vaxxgod.
They are paid agents of Pfzier the quacks, and they are fully indoctrinated into the mythical powers of Promethean Pfizer.

I’m not sure why the case of VITT is in the inconclusive 20. Surely, doctors have decided the death of this 38 year old man was caused by the AZ injection by definition?

As documented and predicted by Burkhardt, Bhakdi et al many months ago.

The autopsy data, together with the information that Moderna patented, in 2016, a 19 nucleotide portion of the SARS-CoV-2 genome encompassing the furin cleavage site, can lead to no other plausible explanation:

We are looking at pre-meditated murder.

I’m also keen to know how often the fibrinogen growths are found in sudden deaths, and are these curious structures ever found in unvaccinated cadavers.

I suppose we’re talking of a completely different finding; the report under discussion is concerned with myocarditis and heart damage whereas the growths may not necessarily be linked.

At least someone is investigating at last, and the reports are being published; thank God.
Maybe it’s just a matter of time until these things are analysed.

Next door neighbour found dead from a heart attack. Just heard a neighbour a few doors down (didn’t know him – a nearer neighbour told me) also died from a heart attack. Husband of a local acquaintance also died from a heart attack. This was all in the last six months.

A friend was in hospital for two weeks with myocarditis after being boosted. I understand he still gets tired walking up stairs and so on. This is the only one that is definitely the vaxx. He accepts that it must be, although as far as I know he just considers himself unlucky.

It pains me that all of these people will be forgotten victims, washed away in time, like tears in rain.

So the Covid “vaccines” don’t work.
They’re also killing people.
Masks don’t work.
Lockdowns don’t work.
Who knew?
One day perhaps we’ll also learn that humans aren’t causing climate change, nor is carbon dioxide bad for the planet and without it all life on earth would cease to exist. But hey, what do I know? 🤪

We’re looking at the tip of an iceberg, as one of the commentators in JC’s YouTube entry said.

Is it possible that the political position about the balance between risk and benefit will move much? If it does, there could be almighty backlash against medicine as a whole, unless they make it clear that they are not monolithic, but actually real people that screw it up from time to time.

Isn’t it amazing that there are so many anecdotal cases of heart attacks, strokes, myocarditis and sudden aggressive cancers these days.

Funnily enough I don’t recall hearing about anything similar pre 2021 (when the mass jabbing started).

The interval between a cancer diagnosis and death seems notably truncated of late.
I can understand how a late diagnosis might explain this in part, especially for your average Joe or Jane who can’t readily get a GP appointment.

But for celebs like Kirstie Alley, surely this is unlikely?

And this morning I heard another new (to me) advert warning amateur athletes like half- marathon runners about heart attacks.

TPTB know about this alright; it makes their refusal to acknowledge or compensate even worse.

While I agree with your general points, I don’t think Kirstie Alley would have been injected: –

The report does say in the final paragraph “Finally, we cannot provide a definitive functional proof or a direct causal link between vaccination and myocarditis.” Campbell does not mention this. Daily Sceptic rightly says that what matters is how often these deaths occur, and this paper offers no information about that. Nor does the paper or Campbell suggest that these deaths justify calling for the vaccine rollout to be terminated.

I’m profoundly sceptical of the Covid vaccine. Because I didn’t want to be divorced or lose students (I’m a language teacher) I’ve been vaccinated, twice, very reluctantly, but some time before my scepticism fully developed. If I could go back in time and avoid those jabs, I now wouldn’t hesitate to do so. But I don’t get it – the first line of the conclusion of the study referenced above is:

“Finally, we cannot provide a definitive functional proof or a direct causal link between vaccination and myocarditis.”

I’m certain that the vaccines confer virtually no protection, while causing great damage; but how does this conclusion support this article’s confident assertion that “Those Who Died Suddenly Were Likely Killed by the Covid Vaccine”?
I can never seem to find my way back to my posts, and any replies to them. If someone out there can help me with this, I’d be grateful if you use my email: illman.clive@gmail.com

Thanks.
