NEW YORK (AP) — A study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness has finally been published after being blocked from a government health journal.
The vaccine was found to be about 55% effective against COVID-19-associated hospitalizations, and reduced COVID-19-related trips to emergency departments and urgent care clinics by 50%, according to the study published Tuesday by JAMA Network Open. The findings are not particularly surprising: Researchers have repeatedly found that COVID-19 vaccines work. But the paper drew public attention after Trump administration political appointees decided not to run it in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publication.
They argued that the study’s design was too vulnerable to false assumptions that could produce flawed results. But many public health researchers maintain it’s a reliable design that’s been used for decades and offers the best way to understand how well a vaccine is working currently. . . . . .
But the panel also included one critic: Martin Kulldorff, a Swedish-born biostatistician who — along with Bhattacharya — was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, an October 2020 letter maintaining that pandemic shutdowns were causing irreparable harm.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last year appointed Kulldorff as head of a federal vaccine advisory committee before the biostatistician stepped down to become chief science officer at the HHS planning and evaluation office.
Kulldorff argued that studies with that design can — but shouldn’t — include people with different diseases. He also questioned why longer-term studies weren’t used to evaluate COVID-19 vaccines.
“We were in a pandemic! That’s why!” one person called from the audience.

Just behind Unicorn Farts, which were found to be about 58% effective.
bs.
“The vaccine was found to be about 55% effective against COVID-19-associated hospitalizations, and reduced COVID-19-related trips to emergency departments and urgent care clinics by 50%, according to the study published Tuesday by JAMA Network Open.”
Well, most of those who died after receiving the ‘vaccine’ did so within the first 3 days. THe first month had marked elevation of deaths by those who received the vaccine. In many cases, family members were found lying on the floor at home, or dead in their beds. This reduced Covid related hospitalizations significantly.
During the Plandemic I suspect many hoped against hope that it worked, and stayed out of the hospitals as they struggled with adverse events related to the ‘vax’ because by then the public knew the CDC’s required Covid Protocol for hospitals was deadly, they could be denied visits from family or forcibly detained as walking contaigons.
It’s sick to read this revisionist history claiming some sort of efficacy. The Covid ‘test’ in use during the Plandemic was not based on the Covid virus. The test was based on a ‘related virus’, according to the CDC. However, Fauci said Covid was a ‘novel virus’ (classification) and that our immune systems had never encountered related viruses as it was ‘new’. The lies, lies lies are still around, ‘modifying’ a purported ‘98% efficacy’ falsely based on relative reductions (RR) instead of absolute reductions in illness to become 50 something percent efficacy. It’s toxic and there is no upside to getting the Covid vax.
Really, the CDC is completely corrupted. Anyone wanting to publish needs to publish it directly online.
50-50 it works.
50-50 taking nothing works, and you did not use abortion to save your life.
Pope francis....looking at you.
We were told at the time they came out that they were 95% effective.
And if you dug into the data, it was a total misrepresentation.
Essentially, if you were vaxxed your chance of being hospitalized for COVID was like 0.3% and if you weren’t vaxxed it was like 0.03%. And that effect only lasted a few months.
So, by taking an experimental gene therapy to use against a bioweapon that the creators of the gene therapy illegally created years before...you decreased your chances of hospitalization from .3% to .03% for a couple months.
If it was sold to us like that, would anyone have taken it? Would Trump have ever bragged about creating it?
And I’m not even getting into the fact that for some people (young people) there was NO positive benefit at all and incredible negative side effects.
The fact that nobody went to jail for doing this to us, tells you all you need to know. This was the worst crime in human history.
I got that first set of numbers switched around.
