A group out of New Zealand is\u00a0claiming<\/a> that a prominent pro-vaccine doctor has changed her stance about COVID vaccines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]The doctor in question, Dr. Petousis-Harris, has been quite clear that she believes the vaccine is life-saving, recently\u00a0saying<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe first vaccines deployed were effective beyond expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n

When speaking specifically to the bivalent booster, however, Dr. Petousis-Harris believes that while the booster can be quite useful for some, it has limited utility for others. \u201cThe argument for the benefit of a second booster in a young healthy person is very different to the argument for a second booster in a person living in an aged care facility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her statements are not a change of heart. In fact, she is saying that the original series plus booster was so helpful, that additional doses won\u2019t offer significantly more protection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
