Maltese doctor Frank Portelli expressed his concerns about taking more than three COVID vaccine jabs, claiming that this would overwhelm the immune system. Speaking on ‘FLiving’, and later sharing a similar post to Facebook, Portelli exclaimed that he warns about this despite having had received the two doses and the booster shot against COVID.
He however revealed that he does not intend on taking a fourth shot, even if it meant ‘going to jail’ over the situation. On Facebook he remarked; ‘I said that the immune system can be overwhelmed if frequent or intense enough doses of a vaccine are administered. Don’t let politics blind you!’
He cited the European Medical Agency in expressing similar thoughts to him, sharing an article by ‘Spanish News Today’ which outlines these same concerns. The article itself stated how the head of Strategy for Biological Health Threats and Vaccines Marco Cavalieri argued that it is still far too early to begin treating COVID like a seasonal flu. He also claimed that booster vaccines are administered annually like those of influenza instead of such a short time.
Dr Frank Portelli’s views were supported by ex-PN leader Adrian Delia, who shared the statement by the Maltese doctor. So far, Maltese Health Authorities have not made any reference to a fourth shot, but Israel became the first country to start rolling it out for the elderly. Malta is currently focusing on administered the third dose of the vaccine, of which 310,012 were administered.
