3 mRNA vaccine shots enough to keep healthy people well-protected, even for new Covid-19 variants like Kraken

The vaccines play a big part in preventing severe illness and death as they would have primed other functions of our immune system.SINGAPORE - People in Singapore who have received their mRNA booster shots are well protected against severe Covid-19, and this applies even when it involves new virus variants like the Kraken, said Professor Ooi Eng Eong, an expert in emerging infectious diseases at Duke-NUS Medical School.

Vaccines play a big part in preventing severe illness and death, as they would have primed other functions of the immune system. Prof Ooi said: “These are also potent in limiting the spread of infection in our bodies.” He said this was shown by phase three clinical trials of the mRNA vaccines. Against the placebo arm, the number of Covid-19 cases in those vaccinated started to tail off 12 days after the jab, although it takes 21 days following vaccination for the neutralising antibodies to appear.

If they have been vaccinated, they would have hybrid protection, which provides even better defence against severe sickness than either vaccination or infection alone.He said: “There is sufficient data now to be confident that in those who are not immunocompromised by chronic diseases or medication, the resultant hybrid immunity protects robustly against subsequent symptomatic infection, and especially severe Covid-19.

However, data clearly shows SG Excess Deaths spiking up exponentially since Sept 2021, the same exact month boosters were introduced.🤔 This tsunami of Excess Deaths (of all ages) far outweigh heavily any theoretical model projections of potential lives saved (of mainly elders). Later they will say, another 3 more and then another 3 more because research suggests. And these researchers all have ties with pharmaceutical companies. Never ending corporate greed.
