The Cleveland Clinic Study

In 2022, physicians and scientists at Cleveland Clinic did a study that was published in April 2023.  The study was called, Effectiveness of the Coronarvirus Disease 2019 Bivalent Vaccine.  Their data demonstrated that the cumulative incidence of COVID illness was highest in the group that received the highest number of COVID shots.  Conversely, the group that had the lowest incidence of cumulative infection was the one that received zero doses.

Those who got 2 COVID shots did worse than those who got one.  Those who got 3 did worse than those who got 2.  And so on.  The group that did the best was the one that received zero shots.  While looking at the situation from a different angle compared to the Chemaitelly et al. study (discussed in the previous post), the take home message was the same – COVID shots make things worse, not better. And the more you get, the worse it gets.
