I was bored this afternoon and went back and looked at the "
fact check" that Leo posted about the Cleveland Clinic study ..... IT'S A TOTAL JOKE. This is the kind of crap Leo choses to believe.
1. This fact check was for the original Cleveland Clinic study. Not the bi-valent peer reviewed published study .... but this joke of an article also misrepresents the original preprint study.
2. They headline that the vaccine was 30% effective.
This was true for the first few weeks after getting the vaccine .... but after that people were MORE likely to get Covid.
Does anyone want to get boosted every few weeks with a dangerous 30% effective vaccine?
To make it simple for Leo ... That means that in a VERY narrow window of time after getting the vaccine 2/3 of people will still get Covid. After that everyone is more likely to get Covid than before the vaccine .... and may drop dead because of a blood clot or heart attack.
Even if the vaccine had
LASTING 30% effectiveness ....
no vaccine has ever been approved with that low of effectiveness .... well, up til now ..... Yet, they are trying to trumpet that as some sort of grand accomplishment.
3. They tried to state that the study was a pre-print.
The original version was a preprint, but the link I posted is the peer reviewed published study.
4. The graph clearly ..... by clearly, I mean anyone with an education higher than 2nd grade elementary ..... clearly shows that the higher the number of jabs .... the more likely people were to get Covid over the term of the study .... no degree in epidemiology, microbiology, or virology is required to understand this simple graph.
It's really disturbing that Leo is unable to tell us in his own words how we are somehow misinterpreting this straight forward graph.
If anyone wants to get a really good laugh .... just read the Cleveland Clinic bivalent study for yourself and then go look at this review .... It will clearly show that you can't believe anything posted by McGill.
They have the audacity to call themselves "office of science."
Oh .... and in VERY clear language .... the study says this.
The higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19 (Figure 2).
This is figure 2
Among 51 017 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, the bivalent coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine was 29% and 20% effective in preventing infection while

This article was originally posted in the Montreal Gazette. Recently, some people have been spreading the idea that getting additional doses of the COVID vaccine increases the risk of catching the virus. The suggestion was made in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal and repeated recently...
