What did the Pfizer “95%” study (C4591001) actually show?
So few people know this that it drives me crazy, and I have been going on about it for two years. Hey ho.
They told you. It’s in the NEJM paper and it’s in the VRBPAC submission (see footnote). Note that the NEJM paper was published on the 10th December 2020, which is the same date that the submission to the FDA’s VRBPAC committee was presented. The Pfizer BNT162b2 GTV was “approved” the very next day, with no attempt to assess the 350,000 pages of documentation that the FDA requested 55 years to release to the public.
Here is the full 8 hour podcast of the committee meeting on the 10th Dec (the EUA approval was 11th Dec). Of course you don’t need any time to assess the documentation around a product if you have already decide to approve it!
And the outcome? Just one thing - can you see it?
OK the yellow highlighter should help but this is the single finding of benefit in the Pfizer study:
The only clinical benefit recorded in the Pfizer C4591001 study published in the NEJM on the 10th Dec 2020 was: "a 95% reduction in the chance of testing positive for COVID by a PCR test conducted at Pfizer's laboratory in Pearl River"
What, you didn’t know? You thought that the Pfizer vaccine had a myriad of magical powers? Nope.
Just to push the point home these are some of the things that people think the Pfizer study showed, but it did not1:
❌ Reduced COVID symptoms by 95%
❌ Reduced COVID symptoms by any amount
❌ Reduced transmission of COVID
❌ Reduced deaths from COVID
❌ Reduced deaths from any cause
❌ Reduced the chance of getting “long COVID”
❌ Reduced the number days taken off work
❌ Reduced COVID hospitalisations or ICU admissions
❌ Reduced the chance of testing positive for COVID by more than 2 months
❌ Reduced the chance of testing positive for COVID at any other laboratory than Pearl River

Read the whole article, it gets much much WORSE (for Pfizer and the mythical 95%).
