In their study, the prevalence of the South African strain among vaccinated individuals who were infected despite their inoculation was eight times higher than its prevalence in the unvaccinated infected population.

“Based on patterns in the general population, we would have expected just one case of the South African variant, but we saw eight,” Prof. Adi Stern, who headed the research, told The Times of Israel. “Obviously, this result didn’t make me happy.”

The research, which has been posted online but not yet peer-reviewed, is likely to raise questions about Pfizer’s own real-world study, which found that in South Africa, despite the local strain being prevalent, the vaccine was 100 percent effective.

The Tel Aviv research appears to corroborate a recent study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, which found that the vaccine response is less effective against the South African variant. It drew its conclusion by analyzing blood samples, while the new research is based on actual sequenced test results.

God is telling me in a loud clear voice to stay away from vaccines.

@ 8 It would be bad news for our country if 60% did get the jab and have adverse or life threatening effects. Let’s hope this study does not portend something alarming in the Fall, when the season starts back up.

I'll probably still get a flu shot because I haven't had that virus since I started getting them some years back. Yes, I know it mutates also. However, they seem to guess correctly most years.

I asked my doctor about that Friday. He said we always test for Flu when someone is ill, but they aren't seeing any flu since this COVID pandemic started.

He tested my whole family for flu & Covid. No flu. 2 have COVID. My son was admitted to the hospital a couple hours ago for COVID-pneumonia.

My wife tested positive on the rapid test, but has either no symptoms or very mild ones.

COVID-19 is a communist plot

Anybody that doesn’t realize at this point has their head screwed on backwards

I know folks here at for republic want to post breaking news as soon as they see it and there’s thousands and thousands and thousands of coronavirus stories every single day in the news with headlines that are slightly “variance”

Let me ask you a question though

At this point more than a year after government solve this crisis why are we still talking about this?

Well the answer is simple it’s because the communists don’t stop

If I was to tell you that we’re still going to be talking about this next year and the year after and the year after and vaccines and all the nonsense what would you say to that?

My opinion is it’s time to MoveOn and drop this subject and ignore all government dictates

Isn’t this to be expected, that the use of “vaccines” to change the bodies response to the virus will cause the virus to mutate into such a form that it circumvents the “vaccine’s” mechanism?

Polio & Smallpox didn't do that. Flu does.

Thots and prayers for your son!!

Thank you.

Wait just one da#n minute. Why is it OK to discuss a “South African” variant, but using the name “Wuhan” (or “Chinese”) virus ist verboten?

I think TPTB in South Africa need to have a one-on-one with WHO’s Tedros - he needs to have his head put on straight.

An average virus mutates ~every 10-12 hours. The SARS-COV2 takes about 4-5 days to appear symptomatically once adequate viral load is achieved. It is a relatively fast mover.

You don't “cause” it to mutate because that's what Corona viruses do naturally and are good at it. It is impossible to out vaccinate them.

What these “Vaccines” do is remove the evolutionary brake on the development of more virulent strains. They are “leaky” by just suppressing symptoms without sterilizing immunity. A human version of Mareks disease is created. Quite diabolical.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease
“The Marek’s disease vaccine is a leaky vaccine, which means that only the symptoms of the disease are prevented.[11] Infection of the host and the transmission of the virus are not inhibited by the vaccine. This contrasts with most other vaccines, where infection of the host is prevented. Under normal conditions, highly virulent strains of the virus are not selected. A highly virulent strain would kill the host before the virus would have an opportunity to transmit to other potential hosts and replicate. Thus, less virulent strains are selected. These strains are virulent enough to induce symptoms but not enough to kill the host, allowing further transmission. However, the leaky vaccine changes this evolutionary pressure and permits the evolution of highly virulent strains.[12] The vaccine's inability to prevent infection and transmission allows the spread of highly virulent strains among vaccinated chickens. “

Sorry to hear about your Son. Best wishes.

I appreciate that. Thanks.
