Wall Street Journal editorial board member Allysia Finley slams vaccine makers
- Claims that updated bivalent vaccines will improve your protection.
- Three scientific problems have arisen
- The virus is mutating much faster than vaccines can be updated
- Vaccines have 'hard wired' our immune systems to respond to the original Wuhan strain, so we churn out fewer antibodies that neutralize variants targeted by updated vaccines
- Antibody protection wanes after just a few months
- Two studies in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that bivalent boosters increase neutralizing antibodies against the BA.4 and BA.5 variants, but not significantly more than the original boosters
- Meanwhile, Biden's CDC recommended the bivalents for all adults without evidence that they were effective or necessary
