The boosters were promoted as bolstering protection against adverse outcomes. But, compared to the vaccinated who have not received any boosters, boosted people are testing positive, being hospitalized, and dying at higher levels in many states, according to the review, which went over data in the first two quarters of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In California, for instance, the boosted population made up 72 percent of the COVID-19 cases among vaccinated people in June. In Vermont that month, the boosted population made up 90 percent of the COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The number of boosted people has continued to rise since the extra shots were first cleared in 2021. But in\u00a0some of the states, one or more metrics among the boosted exceed their population.<\/p>\n<p>In Wisconsin, boosted people made up 43 percent of the cases, 43 percent of the hospitalizations, and 46 percent of the deaths in June\u2014well above the boosted population, which was\u00a035 percent of the state as of late August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unassailable that a very large fraction of highly inoculated [people] are among those being hospitalized or dying,\u201d\u00a0Dr. Robert Malone, who helped invent the messenger RNA technology that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines utilize, told The Epoch Times.\u00a0\u201cSo, at a minimum, the effectiveness in preventing hospitalization or death does not appear to be aligned with the official policy position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have continued to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for virtually all Americans, including multiple boosters, stating that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks. New, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/trial-data-for-newly-authorized-covid-19-boosters-based-on-mice-not-humans_4704068.html\">untested boosters<\/a> replaced the old ones in the fall, but the primary series is still comprised of the old vaccines.<\/p>\n<h2>Higher Among Boosted<\/h2>\n<p>In 18 of the 19 states that provided or already list sufficient data, the boosted made up a majority of one or more metrics among the vaccinated, The Epoch Times found through reviewing publicly available data and public records requests after reporting how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/exclusive-vaccinated-making-up-higher-proportion-of-covid-19-metrics-in-us_4680687.html\">vaccinated people were more likely<\/a>, when compared to the unvaccinated, to get sick, hospitalized, or die in a number of states.<\/p>\n<p>In seven states, the boosted population even made up a majority of all three metrics\u2014cases, hospitalizations, and deaths\u2014among the vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>All data are from 2022. Only percentages or numbers were available for some states. Data for June were preferred, followed by data for July. Rates were adjusted for age. Fully vaccinated refers to people who received a primary series and no booster. Boosted refers to people who received one or more boosters, unless noted. Unvaccinated are included as a reference.

All eight states which provided or listed age-adjusted rates showed higher rates for at least one metric among the boosted when compared to the fully vaccinated. In Wisconsin, for example, the rate of hospitalizations among the boosted was 9.2 per 100,000\u2014nearly double the fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>In two of the states\u2014Minnesota and New Mexico\u2014rates for cases among the boosted were even higher than the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer and Moderna did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4525932\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/moderna-vial-3-1200x831-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4525932\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4525932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/moderna-vial-3-1200x831-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"443\"   style=\"display:none\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4525932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/moderna-vial-3-1200x831-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"443\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Vials of Moderna\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine on a table in a vaccination clinic in San Rafael, Calif., on April 6, 2022.

States that would only provide data since the beginning of the pandemic, or would not provide data by daily, weekly, or monthly increments, were excluded. So were states that would not separate the boosted from the fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>In the other states with sufficient data, none of the metrics were higher in the boosted compared with the fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>North Carolina <\/strong>(July 31\u2013Aug. 6).<strong><br \/><\/strong>Case data not provided.<\/p>\n<p>Hospitalizations<br \/>Unvaccinated: 50.6 percent<br \/>Fully vaccinated: 29.4 percent<br \/>Boosted: 19.9 percent<\/p>\n<p>Deaths (rate per 100,000 for four weeks through July 30)<br \/>Unvaccinated: 2.23<br \/>Fully vaccinated: 0.45<br \/>Boosted: 0.26<\/p>\n<p>The data covers a period of time before new boosters were available.

The shots targeted the original Wuhan strain for years. The updated shots, which are only available as boosters, target the Wuhan strain and a sublineage of the BA.4\/BA.5 Omicron subvariants. Those subvariants are already being displaced by newer, more immune-evasive strains (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell\/pdf\/S0092-8674(22)01531-8.pdf\">pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe literature predicted that there was a high risk of exacerbation of immune imprinting using this booster strategy,\u201d Malone said, \u201cand the data are consistent with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-meiling-lee\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/WEB_MeilingLee.jpg\" alt=\"Meiling Lee\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Meiling Lee is a health reporter for The Epoch Times.
