I will just note she is citing work from 2012. So things can certainly have changed as research continued.
But...I say this with all due respect...
This entire pandemic we have been mislead from Fauci saying we didn’t need masks to now saying we need 2 masks? From HCQ was incredibly dangerous to it now being safe to prescribe for mild symptoms and now these vaccines approved for emergency use. We have watched the numbers skyrocket even during lockdowns and all this hysteria over a virus with a 99%+ better recovery rate? How many people would have survived it given HCQ when they first showed symptoms?
There’s lots of questions that need to be answered. The scientific community has not been forthcoming with information months into this pandemic and neither has the government.
I happen to be a person of scientific inclination. I have worked in massive chemical and radiological contaminated areas and have written the work plans to keep workers safe in those environments. All I am pointing out is I do know fairly well how to read scientific literature, their results, and the implications when applied to real life.
We do know this is not a vaccine. It simply prevents manifestations of symptoms and you can still get/have Covid. A nurse here on FR called that a myth too, until a doctor came along and corrected them. The vaccine doesn’t protect others from contracting the disease from you. It prevents symptoms up to the effective rate. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2021/01/419691/covid-19-vaccine-fact-vs-fiction-expert-weighs-common-fears

From your link: “Was vaccine efficacy only measured in symptomatic COVID-19? The reported efficacy rates of 94 or 95 percent are for symptomatic disease only. Because the clinical trials for Pfizer and Moderna did not require regular testing for COVID-19, they were not a good indication of how well the vaccine protects against asymptomatic disease (which account for some 40 percent of cases).”
Sorry but we do not know that this is not a ‘vaccine’. Your own link, quoted above, clearly states that this was not tested. Since it was not tested, one cannot make the statement you made.
