Boosted More Likely to Get Covid Infected than Unvaxxed By Brian Simpson
This has been speculated about for some time, but now the studies are being done. It has been shown that people receiving a Covid vaccine booster are more likely to contract the Covid infection than those who received no vaccine at all. This is based upon a study of prisoners in California, with subjects from 33 prisons. Yes, that is a lot of prisons in that most liberal of states. The data comprised 96,201 prisons, a healthy sample, with 2,835 cases, and 1,187 of the cases were among people who had received a bivalent vaccine, versus just 568 cases were the unvaccinated. The rest received old monovalent vaccines. Infection rates in the group receiving bivalent shots was 3.2 percent, compared to the 2.7 percent in the unvaccinated.
According to the standard Covid narrative, still pushed by health authorities in Australia of safe and effective, results such as this must be ignored as they are contrary to the Covid religion.
“People who received a new COVID-19 vaccine booster were more likely to contract COVID-19 than people who received no COVID-19 vaccine doses, according to a new study of prisons in California.
Researchers analyzed data from 33 state prisons from January to July 2023 to try to assess the effectiveness of the bivalent shots, which were introduced in the fall of 2022.
Among 96,201 inmates with data on COVID-19 testing and vaccination, researchers identified 2,835 cases.
They found that 1,187 of the cases were among people who had received a bivalent vaccine, versus just 568 cases among the unvaccinated.
The rest were among people who received only monovalent, or old vaccines. That group was excluded from further analysis.
While the population of bivalent recipients was higher than the unvaccinated—36,609 compared to 20,889—the rate of infection was still elevated in the bivalent group owing to nearly double the number of infections, the researchers found.
Infection rates in the group that received bivalent shots was 3.2 percent, over the 2.7 percent in the unvaccinated.
“The bivalent-vaccinated group had a slightly but statistically significantly higher infection rate than the unvaccinated group,” Dr. Robert Mayes of the California Correctional Healthcare Services and the other authors wrote.
Stratifying by age, researchers found that the gap was larger in elderly inmates.
Among inmates at least 65 years old, the infection rate was 6.4 percent among the vaccinated and 4.5 percent among those who had not received a shot. Among inmates at least 50 years old, the rates were 4 percent and 3 percent, respectively.

The former was not statistically significant, researchers said.
“Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind these findings and to consider other factors, such as underlying health conditions. This study underscores the importance of developing vaccines that target residual COVID-19 infections, especially in regard to evolving COVID-19 variants,” the researchers added later.
The study was published by the Cureus journal.
