One of the most outspoken proponents of vaccines is not okay with Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "booster" shots
- Paul Offit for Profit of the Vaccine Education Center and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia wrote a perspective letter for the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) explaining why, from a scientific perspective, COVID boosters are a no-go.
Don’t get boosted - there’s no point
- COVID variants and subvariants are mutating so rapidly that by the time a new booster shot comes out, it is already obsolete
- When people take these outdated injections, they are not gaining any further protection
- Evidence also suggests that each subsequent booster renders the immune system worse off than it was previously
- Regulators determined, based on available data, that there is "no significant difference in neutralization of any SARS-CoV-2 variant" between the boosted and the non-boosted, which means the shots are useless
- Another study also found that "ZBA.4 and BA.5 [neutralizing-antibody] titers were comparable following monovalent and bivalent mRNA boosters"
- "... I believe we should stop trying to prevent all symptomatic infections in healthy, young people by boosting them with vaccines containing mRNA from strains that might disappear a few months later," is how Offit concludes his letter, still urging the public to get injected with the initial round
