There's no evidence that vaccination is hampering immune response.

Among those infected with Omicron, hospitalization and intensive care rates are much higher in unvaccinated...

“There’s no evidence” is the official weasel words of the pandemic.

Fortunately for my comment above, I wrote it with a second paragraph characterizing available data, data that contradicts the claim about the vaccines hampering immune response.

This is not what the stats are saying. And what about South-Africa with a vaccination rate of 26%?

What "stats" are you looking at? For instance, 2nd paragraph of this article about Omicron talks about vaccination being protective: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/31/world/europe/omicron-hosp...

If South Africa ended up fairing far better than a country with similar demographics and higher vaccination rates, it would be relevant, but there's not data to make that comparison, because other countries are much earlier in the Omicron wave.

>And what about South-Africa with a vaccination rate of 26%?

Just pointing out that JAMA says SA has a vaccination rate of 44.3% as of Dec 2021; if you're gonna attack statistics it's a good idea to have the right numbers.

If you look, the article I linked was in December 29 published. So it accounts for omicron and still shows a 3x difference at the minimum.

However this is again a casual Google for a single state. If you have more information that says otherwise please let me know. Thank you!

>Because the vaccins 'overwrite' the wider protections of the immune system it is not very wise to vaccinate healthy people for this fast mutating virus.

Bullshit. Stop spreading misinformation.
