How do we know the vaccines are working?  

 

https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-health/how-we-know-covid-19-vaccines-work

 

Excerpts:

We keep hearing that the COVID-19 vaccines work but some people have asked us, “How do we know that they work?”  Luckily, we have a growing trove of data that show that these vaccines are indeed effective against catching the virus, transmitting it to other people, and ending up in the hospital because of it.

Efficacy in clinical trials

First, there was the experimental work done as the vaccines were developed and tested in both animal models and in human participants. Large clinical trials were eventually conducted where some participants were randomly assigned to receive the vaccine while others were given a placebo injection. These participants were followed over three months to see how many in each group would go on to get COVID-19. This extensive testing revealed the efficacy of these vaccines, meaning how good they were at preventing infection by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus under the ideal and controlled circumstances of a clinical trial.

 

 

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine in the first two months of the vaccination campaign in Israel backed up what had been seen in Pfizer’s own clinical trial. Looking at nearly 600,000 vaccinated people in Israel with another 600,000 matched unvaccinated people, the authors of the study saw that two doses of the vaccine were 92% effective at preventing infection, 87% effective at preventing hospitalization due to COVID-19, and 92% effective at preventing severe disease. (The effectiveness was lower when people had only received a single dose.)

Vaccinated healthcare workers also had a lower incidence of COVID-19 infection than their unvaccinated counterparts, according to a separate Israeli study. Yet another study, which looked at the first four months of vaccination in Israel, reported an effectiveness of 95.3% of Pfizer’s vaccine. (In the interest of transparency, this study received non-financial support from Pfizer and the company contributed to the writing of the study. Over half of the authors have stock options with Pfizer.) As more and more Israelis were receiving their vaccine, the country was reopening from a lockdown over the course of the month of February. Despite the country having fully reopened by March 7, the cases of COVID-19 kept going down. The vaccines were doing their job.

 

The final piece of the puzzle is a more sombre one: 

nearly all U.S. deaths involving COVID-19 are now among the unvaccinated.

In Canada, the majority of COVID-19 deaths are also among unvaccinated people. Being unvaccinated is not always a choice. In many countries, it is mainly due to a lack of doses. While 70% of all Canadians have received at least one dose, that number goes down to 27% for the continent of Asia and it plummets to 3% for the whole of Africa. But in countries where the vaccine is available, actively refusing it means foregoing the clear benefits of immunization.

UK hospitalization data have been used by many to discredit vaccine effectiveness.  It is a sleight-of-hand move by the anti-vaxxers.  If someone spent 10 honest minutes with the numbers, the real facts would be clear.  

 

Context: 

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-57898328?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=60f69e002a60096481ab561d%26Hospitalisation figures show vaccine effectiveness%262021-07-20T10%3A09%3A43.607Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:073a6756-ff33-44b6-add6-ebfa855d49a5&pinned_post_asset_id=60f69e002a60096481ab561d&pinned_post_type=share

 

Reports of vaccinated people ending up in hospital causes alarm.

On Monday, chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance revealed that around 60% of hospitalisations were among people who are unvaccinated.

 

So that means for every 60 unvaccinated people hospitalised, about 40 who have been vaccinated are also ending up in hospital. Does that mean the vaccines are not working very well? Absolutely not.

 

That’s because for every 60 unvaccinated people, there are about 440 vaccinated adults in the population.

 

So that means the numbers of vaccinated people in hospital are at least 10 times lower than they would be if the vaccines did not work at all.

 

The 60:40 ratio therefore suggests the vaccines are a little over 90% effective at keeping people out of hospital.

 

But the news is even better than that. The figures are skewed by the fact the people who are most likely to be unvaccinated are the younger age groups - the ones least likely to end up in hospital.

 

If you factor that in the vaccines look to be well above 90% effective at keeping people out of hospital – bang in line with what all the research suggests.

In this era of globalists and their disinfo campaigns, its better to not go to hospitals as much as possible. Only go if its a emergency or regular checkups for existing disorders. I think the hospitals are also not interested in doing minor checkups when they can rob you blind in koweed related issues and admittance. All the misinfo nutcases you see on TV are put in by the same people in power to make questioning people to look like cavemen. like that scumbag of a poster here who equated that fat pig alex jones with people who are not into wackshins.

Science vs Stupidity - Which side are you on?

 

Know which side these unvaccinated pests take :laugh: 

 

Paul, the Plumber and Fred, the Fish N Chip shop owner, are more authoritative sources on infectious diseases than the doctors and scientists who studied them their entire lives.

After being hospitalized conservative radio host has shifted his position on vaccine. 

 

What a convenient time to switch his position on the vaccine. 

 

Suddenly a great believer in Science once it suits his need :laugh:

On July 28, Tanzania's president, Samia Suluhu Hassan, got her COVID-19 vaccine, marking the official launch of the country's vaccination campaign.

It's a stark contrast to the country's COVID stance earlier this year. On February 2, health minister Dr. Dorothy Gwajima stood before press cameras with her deputies. They all drank concoctions containing ginger, garlic and lemons to assure the public that the best way to beat the coronavirus was through natural remedies.

"The government has no plans to receive COVID-19 vaccines that are being distributed in other countries,'' Gwajima told the press conference.

It was part of President John Magufuli's position that no vaccines were necessary.

Two ways to interpret this:

 

(1) People are finally waking up to the idea that the vaccines are working - extremely well against the old variants and very well against Delta - and taking the vaccine.

 

(2) By creating the delta variant in the lab and unleashing it, Pfizer/China/Bharat Biotech/AstraZeneca/Moderna conglomerate has successfully created a nice opening to vaccinate and thus control more people.   

 

Am going with (1).

Known war criminals and paedophiles joining forces to demand vaccine mandates/passports. Two ways to interpret this:

 

1. They have evolved into sCiEnCE loving angels who are just trying to save lives :love:.

 

2. They are just exploiting the Covid crisis and unleashing mandates for hastily approved vaccines to establish greater control over people :wp48:.

 

I am going with 2 :bandit:.
