(LifeSiteNews) — Vaccinated people are more likely than the unvaccinated to catch COVID-19, and particularly the omicron variant, according to new European data.
A study released late last month by Danish researchers found that people with two doses of an mRNA COVID vaccine have a higher likelihood of catching omicron than those without a jab. Based on Danish nationwide data, Pfizer’s shot dropped below -50 percent efficacy against the variant after three to five months. The effectiveness of the Moderna jab similarly fell to around -50 percent in the same timeframe.
The findings reflect real-world data from across Europe. A recent U.K. government survey of omicron cases reported that residents with one, two, or three COVID shots all had higher infection rates than the unvaccinated, with a more than six times higher rate among people with a booster. The figures, taken from between December 3 and December 16, found a 2.5 times higher COVID rate for the double-vaccinated.
And in the U.K. Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) latest weekly COVID report, the unvaccinated have the lowest rates of COVID-19 infection across all age groups over 18 years old.
