A study looking at the effectiveness of fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines, run by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has found that a second booster shot of an mRNA vaccine has significant effectiveness against severe illness with some Omicron variants.

After the first booster shot, vaccine effectiveness against severe illness with Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2/BA.2.12.1 was found to be just 68 per cent in the first six months, declining to 52 per cent after that point, according to the CDC.

Shaun Grannis, vice-president for data and analytics at the Regenstrief Institute and professor of family medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, as well as co-author of the study,that these findings may help some people answer the question of whether they should get a second booster shot.

In the U.S., this eligibility refers to people over the age of 50 years old, as well as younger people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, according to the CDC’s current recommendations. This new study only included those that fell within this group. Vaccine effectiveness was assessed by comparing the odds of hospitalization or emergency department visits between those vaccinated with one, two, three or four doses, as well as those who are completely unvaccinated.

Give him the vaccine in front of us and then we will make sure he is truly getting it. By the way with a truly doctor of our choice.

If it wasn't for the truckers you would have 7th jab in the ass and triple diaper on our face RIGHT NOW!!

At only 42 years of age I coincidentally got shingles a short time after my vaccine. You can't tell me my immune system wasn't compromised. No more boosters. 😠

Lies ...all lies!

BULLSHIT

Lol

No thanks still suffering the effects of a blood clot in my left arm from the 2nd dose I was forced to get so I would not be subjected to discrimination from eating in a restaurant or going to the movies. Still haven't caught the coof though unlike most tripple vaxed I know who.

More FAKENEWS from a trump hating democrats loving station on the payroll of justin truedough. BANFAKENEWS

People falling for this BS are the proverbial ' useless eaters ' that WEF is after.

Until.when will Canadians be subjected like lab rats?

1% that's right. So good to take booster shots that best recommendation is, after taking shots wear mask to stay safe 🤣

We are getting there! 😅

LMFAO 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

Dude they cannot protect you for long. It’s a waste and a lie

It is called an immune system good enough for me.

It also weakens the immune system and makes it worse off for fighting covid.

No merci! I'm awake and will not comply to JT's money laundering and 'new world order' / 3rd or 4th covid vax. I trust real science, not misguided manipulative bullies that change the rules when they start to lose.

Total BS and lies, wake up people!

False. Pfizer stated people should wait for the omicron vaccine. Get your story straight.

🤡🤡🤡

Liar, liar pants on fire! lol!

You are lying!!!!! JustSayNo

How do I report false information 🤔

u need to start getting you facts from doctors and not politicians!!!! I think your tweet should have read ' second booster may increase adverse reactions and possibly death ' correct me if I'm wrong 😉

90% of Covid deaths in BC from may 8-July 2 are in ppl with 2/3 shots. 3X add dying at a very high rate

Bull💩

So does that mean I have to test all my contacts to make sure they have proper variants before I go near them🫠🤡🤡🤡

With some. Uh when are they producing a vaccine that works as they promised

What if the present Covid variant ( Omicron BA +++ ) doesn’t give anyone severe illnesses But the vax has severe side effects

DEFUND THE CTV, NOT ONE MORE DIME

I’m more interested in the Swedish study

'Scientists are also discovering that triple-vaccinated adults who were previously infected with the Wuhan variant have a weaker immune response to Omicron, leaving them more susceptible'

All ineffective

Anyone still dumb enough to believe this propaganda? Give it up already...

Funny … isreal has dosed their people 4 times and now people are suffering from VAccine induced Immunity Deficit syndrome …. Dying and so I’ll

Stop the bullshit already.

After reading most comments, I now understand why the Loon is on our $1 coin.

fakenews

“Some”… so it doesn’t really work … just like the first 3?

No it doesn't

BS! the'vax',never worked! WhyTF are they pumping ppl full of graphene & toxins? you've lost ANY credibility you had as a tell lie vision station lmfao! helps with 'some',variants? it didn't work on ANY! U SHOULD DO RESEARCH INSTEAD OF TAKING BRIBES FROM GOVT!

🗣 bullshiiiit!

I wonder what the negative efficacy will be 6 months post 4th shot? It's negative 17% 6 montgs post 2 shots

Oh stop with the lies already!!!

Oh jack me up ctv oh ya more mmmmmm

Can someone tell me which ingredient in these shots is offering the most protection?

The nonsense they tell you when they know it doesn’t work but they want to get rid of their shots because some politicians and other rich ppl will lose money if they can’t sell them.

Propaganda

I say good! For those who want the shots pls go ahead .. take a double shot but hurry TF up and use all of them fast. I'm sick of the propaganda machine that is this shit media.

This is old data because we are 199 days into 2022 and every statistic I looked up says 43,530 Canadian deaths (which I hope is total and not 2022, meaning at 199 days we have 13,027 for the year in Canada, literally proving mandates work at saving lives)

The newer strains of BA.4 and BA.5, which are thought to be driving the current wave of COVID-19 cases in Canada and other regions, were not part of the study.

And would that be because Trudeau gets a royalty on every jab?

If I don't get the shot I'm 100% safe from Vaccine injury And 99.98% against hospitalization anyway.

One more booster to flatten your pulse.

Isn't this the kind of thing that you would usually research before injecting people?

Just not the one you'll get

Stop pushing vaccines haha you're a joke. If you're over 65 or have underlying health issues it's probably best to keep getting a booster dose, everyone else they do nothing for

that US study is the one i threw into the restroom prime minister and you guys pick-it up into this news ? Such a PORN News OF THE DAY morons... paid by that mafioso JT

Other proven benefits of the vaccine: Improves singing voice (range, pitch) Jams police radar Significantly lengthens penis (for men and women) Opportunity for smug self righteousness by scapegoating the unvaxed Goodbye constipation Possibly joining Nosferatu in eternal life

StoptheShots

Because natural immunity appears to be robust and the COVID-19 vaccines do not eliminate transmission, many of those who make the personal choice to forgo vaccination are in fact making a decision that is no less rational or science-based than those who want the vaccine.

Why is there NO information on continuous masking since 2020? I wear masking 12hrs day and in the last 4 mths my lungs hurt! The chemical smell and fibers are killing us slowly! Nope never have smoked etc etc..

Adding to my prior post, even though I did as told, we as people were hounded & attacked like criminals by Government & society both. Neighbors against neighbors, family against family. Didn't matter if you had your shots or not, you were treated like a walking disease; A plague.

Hahahahaha

Not a chance anymore of the crap is being injected in my arm. No one touching my kids with it either and putting their health at risk.

I can't believe your still on the COVID narrative, Trudeau has moved on to climate change now lMAO...try to keep up 😂😂😂😂. The people are done with trudopes bullshite!!!!!!!

'Some' Better luck next time. Maybe the time after that... maybe.

Then it will be the 5th and the 6th and the 7th.......

Show the data? Also, how long shall we the protection last? Here’s soe new data.

NoVaccineT0

more lies from the jabbb pushers

They lied, you complied. Say no.

It's literally the same vaccine that was used with the old variant. It's obsolete at this point. Trudeau's just trying to unload overstock of the product because he bought like 200 million doses

Im Listening to This DOCTOR, and thousands more like him saying the same thing. JUST SAY *NO MORE* share

I submitted to big pharma & Government when I got my first two doses b/c I wanted to truly see if I'd have more freedoms than the unvaccinated when we were all locked inside like prisoners. When I found out I wouldn't I knew 100% what it was TRULY about & never got another since.

They need to change the script .

This must be the longest global pandemic that will go down in history like other global pandemics which only lasted 2 years we are not out of this yet 💦

So let’s get this straight…Omicron is a variant of covid 19, the booster “increases protection against severe illness with SOME variants”, yet each variant from the original strain is weaker with less severe symptoms? Is the basic science of variants still science today?

Any vaccine requiring 4 doses to merely 'protect against severe illness', while not actually protecting against the very possibility of contagion, is not really a vaccine, is it? It is a therapy.

This is a Lie and CTV news why do you guys not concentrate on Canadian news more

Can’t trust this

Severe illness..what a crock. With a 99% recovery rate and Ivermectin/HCQ, among other generic drugs, Covid, Omicron, etc. is a nothing burger. Myself, my wife and many of my friends have had it and it was no more than a flu. This is pure fear mongering for Big Pharma profit!

'It's the Song that never ends... it just goes on and on and on...'🎶🎶🎶 Keep singing CTV...

Irrelevant news unless you explain why first 2 or 3 shots don't work, and explain the lie about 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Oh ya, I see you are a part of the subsidized news network. CC: TheTorontoSun TorontoStar

Canada and New Zealand now top the list in Covid deaths. Wonder what these two countries have in common? CTV, do some investigative journalism.

Yeah, for about a week while shutting down your immune system. Smart. Drugs pushed without proper longterm safety and efficacy studies. Billions were made. Politicians made tens of millions. Tens of thousands died post vax. Millions suffer. Shut up, CTV.

Bull shit.

So you survive without and possibly die with but go get boosted

Really!! It's different from reality!

Thanks, I’ll take my chances. Can we dump some of this money, time and research into cancers and Alzheimer’s? Oh? Right no money to be made on those, carry on!

Is there a vaccine that protects us from lying, corrupt, incompetent politicians and MSM outlets on the take from them?

You would think 4 shots in 2 years is enough…

Limited protection for a few weeks,then greater susceptibility and more likely to face other respiratory illness/disease including dormant cancers. Compromised immunity due to TCell exhaustion as a result of over vaccinations. Watch what happens over the coming months. Tragic

That is a flat out lie and you damn well know it. Stop with the government BS!

We're on to the scam AlexandraMaeJ, and we'll remember you helped enable it.

Looks like natural immunity is more effective than fourth dose. Keep it up though

Just stop

For a day.

Good I had my second one last summer.

I see the bots, and Alberta are awake

Uh-oh, looks like trudeu’s fear porn propaganda machine is back in full force with covid stories and booster pics. Good times with getting paid, or is it mandatory from the fearless dear leader office?

Keep it.

More propaganda when will it ever stop. How many people think it never will

I genuinely and honestly hope you can live with your decision to get multiple injections expecting a positive result. I especially hope you can live with that decision you made for your children.

Hey, is npr real news or fake news? What are you? Do you think you can block the world?

I bet your immune system does a better job, and without the side effects.

Yeah, a runny nose, cough and a sore throat sounds real severe. Smfh

And still doesn't stop you from getting the milder omicron and passing it. New variant evades jab 4 times as well as original omicron according to Mayo Clinic. Zero long term studies on giving 4 jabs of that stuff.

😂😂😂 just like 'two weeks to flatten the curve' and 'two doses keeps you from getting Covid'

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Lol getting pretty vague

I don’t think you people even bother to read the comments section in your Liberal propaganda anyone dumb enough to get lethal injections may as well at this point.

By 12% I think the documents said. Or 1/5000 chance permanent heart damage. You choose.

It’s a blatant lie

'Second covid booster' means third dose of the same vaccine that failed to protect you the first and the second time you took it. The 'second covid booster' is so effective that they are already talking about the fourth dose aka 'third covid booster'.🤡🌍

Nobel Prize Winner Montagnier already said the 'Covid Vaccine is Creating Variants. While it is understood, the viruses mutate, causing variants. Mass vaccinations are a “scientific error as well as a medical error.” …

Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective Safe & effective

An Israel study,(Israel is one of the most vaccinated)already said fully vaccinated people are more likely to get infected with COVID and develop symptoms to hospitalization than those unvaccinated and have the natural immunity that comes from catching the virus and recovering.

You are a terrible organization for spreading this. Your time will come.

for like a day or two right?

hmmmm🤔🧐green is the most vaccinated.? ? ?

Stop calling it a vaccine, it clearly isn’t.

COVID-19 vaccination has been linked to a collection of severe side effects. Many cases of anaphylaxis, myocarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, blood-clotting disorders and even Bell's palsy have been reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)

vague vax value is there any science at all? crack covid vax addicts beg for fixes

🤡🤡🤡

But not the main one, do you have zero conscience? This is gross

FACT CHECK - FALSE CLAIM and merely hear say!! Again no study data produced. So called booster shots are merely destroying your natural immunity irreparably, and causing SADS, SIDS & other dangerous symptoms and fatalities!! Wake Up!!

🤣🤣🤣

Kind of important to not mention in the tweet: “ The newer strains of BA.4 and BA.5, which are thought to be driving the current wave of COVID-19 cases in Canada and other regions, were not part of the study.”

Lol! Ya.. ok....whatever...none of them work,period.

I hope CTV is right at the top when law suits start, and criminal charges for so called journalists.

Trudeau, dr Eileen deVilla, MP Carolyn Bennett all have 2 va((ines and 2 boosters and still got (ovid. Produce the scientific study that proves that the 2nd booster stops infection, hospitalizations and deaths. Otherwise, stop GASLIGHTING Canadians with LIES !!

Liars!

None of them prevent infection. And they never have. They're medication.

ACTUAL photo of the new ‘rona variant attacking an air balloon! Get your 8th dose people, be safe!

💩💩💩💩💩

Give it a rest

Ya in your fkn dreams or on tv

Oh come on CTV you did not quote the study correctly. They linked to it thankfully. It was only done on immunocompromised, was a goofy modelling study with a long list of limitations. More junk science. None for me.

95% effective for “symptoms” for the first variant that is gone….🤦🏻🐑🐑🐑

A new study published in the *New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)* has demonstrated that people who are triple-vaccinated (boosted) against COVID recover significantly more slowly from COVID infection and remain contagious for longer than people who are not vaccinated at all.

based on pseudo science.. just more bullshit models from the Bill Gates Foundation to his funded and controlled researchers PJReporter CBCNews globalnews

“Some” is the key word but what are they boosting?

I thought we were on 4... 🙄

Thanks for the evidence. The class action lawsuit against CTV will be a real treat!!! 🖕🏼

**To note: “The newer strains of BA.4 and BA.5, which are thought to be driving the current wave of COVID-19 cases in Canada and other regions, were not part of the study.”

Fakenews

I’m glad I got my 4th vaccine, I know maybe I can get covid, but I'm sure I'll only have minor symptoms, because the vaccine helps my Inmune System, my 5th will be in 6 months and my 6th will be in 1 year that’s all and Finish .

Get the vaccine trust me it’s Safe

The study there quoting was done by the CDC, so I cant trust it, it goes against everything we are observing in reality. None for me.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If people who support vaccination want good vaccines, then they need to stop promoting the minor benefits of the current vaccines and start emphasizing their weaknesses. Doing this creates the demand for and a push to develop better vaccines.

Oh yeah, 'omicron'. The one thats like a cold. Cool, carry on with all the needles. Good luck

Or you could try being professional reporters 😁💉💉💉

So do healthy adults and children’s immune systems. So does early treatment with Covid19Critical protocols. It saved my parents lives and neither suffered from post viral illness post infection. StoptheShots

BS

You may as well just get on your knees and beg for us to take your venom. fyi I still won't take it.

Challenge flag.

Just stop. It doesn’t.

For approximately 26 minutes

Right. For under 6 weeks 🙄

Some random study vs Pfizer documents.... I'll pass still and always.

Fake News

You have no credibility

Funny cbc just ran a report that says otherwise.

I have had covid twice. And the worst part of it was it rained one day while my buddies and I were on our fishing trip.

And what were the first 3 supposed to do?

Does anyone believe this crap anymore?

Whats this world coming too ...I was waiting in the bus stop , a lady comes in and asks can I put my mask on , I said no were outside 'fresh air' , she calls me a F$king Bastard and it's people like me that's causing Covid .. 😒 brain washed society we live in .. wake up already

Yes 'fresh' air appearantly toxic so while you're outside, shopping in your car and notice all the people alive smiling and living . You clearly dont see there is nothing to fear. Covid was a scam

B S

The government is getting us to line up on a new drug . It only last six months so keep on getting jabbed . And it all is paid by u . .

There is a 1 in 5000 chance that I give a shit about your booster.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Lmfao!! US study. Released and presented by Pfizer. I have a cancer curing tap water based on my own study. Sign up here !!

Get the jab then follow me

😂

Fake news.

Lol. Some variants. So no protection against all the others. So crap shoot? I'll take a Vegas vacation first.

at some point you gotta confess that this didnt work out like they said it would. stop the shots.

Right! 😏

But the CEO of Pfizer said it’s not effective against Omicron…

'Increases protection' lol for what? 2 weeks? 😆😆 for 'some' variants

Some eh?

This is disinformation. Start reporting the Truth!!!! Substack by Dr Paul Alexander, Malone and McCullough debunk this BS propaganda. peoplehateMSM nogreatreset

I heard it was only 51% effective, and only 38% against the new one…. Is this true?

4 of the same shots within less than 2 years. Wow.

Nope

Oxymoron: Severe Disease and Omicron

Fuck I'm right on this not a chance in Hell.

😆😆😆😆😆

Translation: everyone who hasn’t suffered a stroke or a seizure can get a fourth dose.

Sure comrade

🤡🌎

😂🤣🤡

Until it mutates next week...

How do we choose our variants? I can't find it in the arrivecan app.

Yes it the media says so it must be true!

So does none apparently .🤡100%

I call bullshit.

False. Bull💩

'only with SOME VARIANTS' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg, and then they wonder why i dont take them seriously 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sure it does

'Some'

Need to weigh risk / benefit like chief medical officer of Ontario says.

lol ffs... what study...and a US study.. yah right...done with your bS jabs...and your vid fear mongering.. move on.

ITS THE SAME JUNK....THAT NEVER WORKED THE FIRST TIME.

The shots don’t work!! Why are people even talking about these shots doing anything. It’s grotesque

What about the laundry list of possible side effects!?

GFY, .😀👍

This ad was Paid and brought to you by Pfizer.

Call it what it is...a 4th shot of an ineffective potentially dangerous therapeutic with zero long term safety data...I think I'll pass thanks

Everyone who sees this take a pic and date it. The media WILL pay for these lies

Damn I’m already 4 behind that was fast.

Fool me once…

Bs

Poison pushers propagandize for profits

Never again.

I heard that the vaccine gives you the same haircut as Trudy’s new doo, so that’s gonna be a no for me dawg.

As a responsible citizen I'm proud to say I'm fully vaccinated, all my boosters, I'm wearing a mask inside and outside and washing my hands multiples time a day! Because i care to protect myself and the others in my community.

I think you are full of crap and this is a genocide. But that's how I see it, I leave each person to their own thoughts.

Come on… it’s useless. No more shots.

Ok

Not interested. I’ve had 3. I’m done.

Curious why all these people with 3 doses are too cases of covid, as well as deaths then? As is showing 4 doses following behind from % taken to % cases 🤷

truckdriverpleb

It’s curious that the studies funded by vaccine manufacturers come out in favour of more vaccines and the studies that come out opposed to more vaccines are funded by racists.

Nope. Not for me or my loved ones. Sorry clotshot you're not entering this vessel.

I'm doing great without any shot against any covid. I have a functioning immune system thank you very much. I also don't have to worry about a single vaccine side effect.👍

I call BS!

🤡🤡🤡

Lol nice try

😂

Fake news again

More political science instead of health science.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 third booster guarantees you the lotto max grand prize.

Hard Pass
