01:25 🩹 A fourth dose of the COVID vaccine does not provide protection against death, according to a population-wide study in Austria.
01:55 🦠 Although the fourth dose initially reduces infections by 177% for the first 3 months, it leads to more infections in the following 6 months, questioning its long-term efficacy.
08:53 📉 The extended follow-up until June 2023 shows no significant reduction in mortality with the fourth vaccine dose but indicates a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, raising concerns.
09:46 🏥 The observed lower mortality in those with a fourth dose may be attributed to a "healthy vaccine bias," as healthier individuals are more likely to receive additional doses.
12:21 🤔 The study questions the justification for repeated vaccine boosters for individuals with a history of previous infections, suggesting a need for a critical re-evaluation of current vaccine policies.
