More evidence for vaccination

[oldtimer2]

There's another article which confirms that, for most people on DMARDs, having a booster injection against Covid-19 improves the protection against having the infection and having it severely.

The effectiveness of a fourth mRNA vaccine dose was associated with a lower risk of a SARS-CoV-2 infection to a similar degree among most subgroups of DMARDs used, including patients using biological DMARDs (HR 0·64; 95% CI 0·47–0·88), conventional synthetic DMARDs (0·58; 0·43–0·77), oral glucocorticoids (0·57; 0·32–1·00), and targeted synthetic DMARDs (0·63; 0·19–1·90). Among the small subgroup of patients using rituximab, we could not confirm a similar direction or magnitude of effect (1·37; 0·32–5·86).

There is fatigue amongst us all - too many injections! But keep up your protection if you can and if the vaccine doesn't affect you, personally, adversely.

The mRNA vaccine gave me shingles and a massive flare in my RA. This seems to be a common effect in some RA sufferers. I won't be having any more covid vaccines

Yes it does. There has also been a sharp rise in musculoskeletal issues in people who were not previously diagnosed with such symptoms. It seems to cause an autoimmune response in some folks.

I’ve had everyone one of the Covid full strength and half dose, I’ve contracted Covid twice first time I was very poorly, second time year later was not so bad, I had sepsis just before 1st Covid infection so ? If there is protection.

For every article like this several more can be found disputing the efficacy of constant jabs. I have noticed within my family and social network an increase in covid and ill health in quite a few. It could of course be coincidence, but that's an awful lot of people with significant health issues.

If you could send me a link to to the articles disputing the efficacy of the vaccines I'd be grateful. I haven't seen any scientific ones, only anecdotal accounts. It would be good to get a balanced view.

Hi I read a lot on substack. Lots of individual articles on there. If you want someone who is interested in both covid and the injections Vejon health is pretty good in terms of a fair response. He's a doctor who interviews a variety of professionals, plus gives relevant articles within the show notes. There's one playing today about the covid shots. You can find him on YouTube, but he has his own medical platform too where you can find articles.
