| Third COVID shot boosts immunity tenfold - Israeli study now peer-reviewed |
| 2021-09-16 |
| [JPost] - Taking a third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine boosts the immunity of recipients nearly tenfold compared to those who received only two doses of the vaccine more than five [months] prior, according to a report published Wednesday by Israeli researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine. A version of the study had been previously published and reported on, though not peer-reviewed, at the beginning of the month on the online research hub MedRxiv. The rate of confirmed infections was more than 10 times lower among people who received the booster compared to people who did not. The rate of severe infection 19 times lower. the URL of the New England Journal of Medicine is https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2114255 |

| #10 That is a social commentary. Which I don't disagree. A Science, or more specifically, Medical, commentary. As a Science, Observational Evidence should welcomed, especially a Volunteer Control Group. |

| #9 By ten fold that drops two fold every month, because it is a goddamn virus. Booster every quarter at least. And people will still get sick and they will blame the unvaccinated like usual. |

| #6 So in 9 months the expectation has gone from immunity to quarterly shots. That isn't a pretty curve. |

| #5 Sure. That's why you'll need a 4th shot. |

| #4 Very good, but for how long? Seems like doses one and two did much the same but faded in 6-9 months. So I guess we will need at least one booster shot per year, forever. Sad. But probably true. |
