If anyone wants to scare a Karen who got this vax, you can send them this version of a write-up about this same study:

Israeli data shows South African variant able to ‘break through’ Pfizer vaccine

Another illogical piece here. The explanation is poor, but it will motivate a few exceptional readers to think.

95% efficacy for COVID vaccines doesn’t mean there’s a 5% infection risk. Here’s why

Infectious Disease - South African variant, B.1.351, breakthroughs on Pfizer vaccine are 8 times those who are unvacinated

"The South African variant, B.1.351, was found to make up about 1% of all COVID-19 cases across all the people studied,
according to the study by Tel Aviv University and Israel's largest healthcare provider, Clalit."

"But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variant's prevalence rate was eight times higher than those unvacinated - 5.4% versus 0.7%." (Emphasis mine)

"This suggests the vaccine is less effective against the South African variant, compared with the original coronavirus
and a variant first identified in Britain that has come to comprise nearly all COVID-19 cases in Israel, the researchers said."

My Comment: small study of anomalies and viral breakthroughs.
Consider the source.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED I SAYS!!!

If true, then there is no reason to take the “vaccine” (which is not really a vaccine)

[redgolum]

Which is part of the reason I have not received a vaccine yet.

Not sure it will work

One of the key take away should be that every one of the positives was before the 14 day full antibodies titer was reached.

Here is a study with extensive antibodies titier work look at figure 2D specifically the B1.351 strain the data in review is the pink dots. This group also ran analytics for T cells as well the paper is a good read if you can understand the underlying science. After 14 plus Pfizer dose two both antibodies and T cells are active against the B1.351 strain at levels that are comparable to the natural response levels of someone who survived the SA strain. What is also evident is the other strains the vaccine creates antibodies at a level up to 12 times the survival level immune response. But don’t take my word for it the science is here to read.
