Bivalent Booster Efficacy

Bivalent Booster Efficacy
A study conducted from September 14th to November 11th, 2022 looked at the bivalent booster efficacy. They measured absolute vaccine efficacy (aVE) and relative vaccine efficacy (rVE). Let's review this data.

My sister got the bivalent shot at the end of September and was very ill for 6 weeks with what she called RSV. It took a double dose of antibiotics to finally get better. I find it very coincidental that she got a severe illness right after the shot. I haven't had any shots and have had covid. So far I haven't been ill since February, when I had omicron. I take quercetin, vitamins D3 and C and zinc every day. I walk several miles most days and eat healthy foods.

same thing happened to me and my SO.....booster then extremely ill two weeks later with this "RSV" We first swore we had covid but all testing was negative for covid. So...14 days exactly, after booster, we got ill and WE ARE STILL SICK...IT'S BEEN 4 WEEKS OF SICKNESS.

The key is the infection rate during the study period. It’s 50% less than an already low chance of catching Covid. It’s not like 50% were getting symptomatic Covid during the study period, or 40%, or 30%, or 20%, or 10%… Get my drift? How low is the rate that we are achieving a 50% reduction from for a very short period of time? The CDC is suggesting the bivalent booster if it has been 2 months of more since the last booster, so 60 days? About 6 boosters a year? Really?

[@centerrightproudamerican5727]

Using titers of antibodies is a Proxy for the value of the vaccine. It is not a true measure of the efficacy of the vaccine and we don't really know the correlation between antibody titers and the efficacy of the vaccine. Consequently, this study has limited value in understanding the true efficacy. To use an extreme example, if the antibodies are only potent for the ancestral strain, it is of little value. Yes, the bivalent is supposed to give antibodies to the more recent strains, but that has not been proven. Furthermore, in previous talks, Dr Been has shown studies where the body reacts to the vaccines by just producing the old antibodies, not the new antibodies. Even if we assume Antibody Titers is a good proxy for efficacy the study shows the value is limited and we know all of the boosters have proven to be short-lived in value. All-in-all, this is not a ringing endorsement of the bivalent booster

[@kammonkam4905]

Indeed Dr Paul Offit has observed that Moderna generates twice as many antibodies as Pfizer but the two have no difference clinically.

[@RussCR5187]

Depends on age group. Some have calculated a very high risk of myocarditis with vaccination for young adult males.

[@kammonkam4905]

@@RussCR5187 I think the safety signal is just easier to detect in younger age groups. With older age groups the baseline risks for all heart related problems are higher so additional risk from vaccination is less likely to be statistically significant, so the idea that it is only a risk for young people maybe a statistical artefact.

[@cyberbob4111]

The big factor of unknown, which renders the whole study nonsense, is the level of immunity acquired by natural infections. Younger folks are typically less worried of Covid and therefore caught more Covid infections as the elderly, i.e. it's likely not a higher vaccine efficacy that protects younger folks, but the natural immunity from previous infections.

I often see in studies that the younger age brackets show a wide range, in the case of this study, 18-49 gives a range of 31 years, while the other age brackets have a range of 15 years. I have also noted when looking at case numbers etc (+ve test results) from some sites that the first age bracket may be as wide as 16-49 or wider, while the other age brackets may be in ten year spans. I would think this would give a distorted view of effects in the younger age groups, and could also be a way of hiding/manipulating data.

I recall a number of times ive had a cough or fatigue that hangs around long after a reasonably mild sickness. Ive never heard anyone use the term "long-head cold". I feel it's just another weapon in the arsenal of fear tactics. I'm sure it is a condition that medically exists and has a scientific explanation, but I would bet a lot of money that it is a concept present with many other common illnesses.

It’s impossible to ascertain any efficacy of these Franken~medicines given the various genetic responses of individuals that mitigate symptoms of which you have spoken about on your channel coupled with the prevalence of exposure in the population after 3 years.

[@alleyoop5185]

Didn’t a spokeswoman for one of these magic juice companies admit they didn’t know the efficacy? Apparently they had to move at the speed of science,, so they didn’t have time,,

How it is compare to natural immunity? Someone who had covid 8 moths ago by exemple...

[@DevineOne]

I had covid in april 2020. Over the last year I have lived with others who got covid and even slept in the same bed and drunk from the same cup and still did not get reinfected. I am unvaccinated.

[@RussCR5187]

Natural immunity, perfected over millions of years of evolution, is almost always better overall from a societal point of view.

QQQQQQ OFF-TOPIC A friend has been advised against fasting bc she is menopausal and has been told it will stress her adrenal system?

How did they separate the genders it could be a bit problematic

[@sandramae1772]

Massachusetts is giving $75 gift cards to those who get the booster!

[@RussCR5187]

The bribery could not be more obvious. Selling your health for $75. Crazy.

She forgot the most important thing, put your family in quarantine before seeing the elderly on the big holidays!

Why not just use zoom meeting then?

[@Radarcb329]

The use of term relative vaccine efficacy seems incorrect. If efficacy has gone down to 10% and RVE is 50%, then the efficacy is effectively down to 15% which is a 50% increase relative to the declined 10% efficacy. Instead of giving words, just give math because words can be ambiguous. And unvaccinated may or may not have been infected and change in immunity from a vaccination will be different. Also, why didn’t they compare vaccinations of the original vaccine with the bivalent? Forget efficacy and antibodies since the vaccine only provides immunity against the spike, and it’s not the spike that drives severity for those who are not immunocompromised, it’s other proteins in the virus.

[@KuromixLara]

I hope to get a second bivalent booster after Christmas. The last one (4th in total) helped me with my long covid.

Inb4 RIP.

[@alleyoop5185]

I’d go early if I were you. Talk around town is a shortage due to a onslaught on supply!

Without knowing the subjects status as to natural infection, this data is useless.

Dr Been. I have taken the perspective that it only takes me minutes to get a vaccination, and its simply the least I can do to help interrupt the chain of transmission as we live through this pan/endemic time. 50% is far better than some flu shots. If we all did what we needed to do in a perfect world, this bug would be a non-issue at this time.

No thanks.
