BERLIN, Germany (LifeSiteNews) — Scientists in Germany are urging fully vaccinated people to get a third dose of the COVID vaccine to tackle a “sharp increase” of so-called “breakthrough” cases, while admitting that the vaccines don’t provide sufficient protection against the virus.
Uwe Janssens, secretary general of the German Society of Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine (DGIIN) told German news agency RND on Friday that “almost 44% of patients over 60 currently admitted to intensive care units with COVID-19 are vaccine breakthrough cases.”
“That’s a clear and sharp increase,” he said.
Despite pointing to evidence of the vaccine’s insufficient protection, Janssens and others argued that the best way to deal with the situation is to inject more Germans with a third dose of the inefficient and experimental mRNA vaccines.
Back in October, the STIKO (Germany’s Standing Committee on Vaccination) recommended a third dose primarily for people over 70 years of age. Janssens described the age limit as a “big mistake” and advocated for a wider booster campaign.
“We need more flexibility when it comes administering booster shots,” he said.
