Pfizer Vaccine Shown to be 91.3 Percent Effective Against the Coronavirus After Six Months
PJ Media ^ | 04/02/2021 | Rick Moran

The Covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer has been shown to be 91.3 percent effective against infection even after six months according to findings released by the company.

The findings come from a growing body of data on how volunteers in the shot’s late-stage trials are responding to the vaccine. The data determined whether or not the volunteers contracted Covid with or without symptoms. That the vaccine still proved to be so effective after six months is an excellent sign it may last even longer.

From the Wall Street Journal:

Pfizer said it hopes to provide more information on protection beyond six months in the coming weeks. The companies said they planned to continue to monitor study subjects for two years. Some vaccines, such as the one for measles, provide lifelong immunity while others, such as for the flu, need to be given every year.

The further analysis suggested the vaccine worked effectively against a variant first identified in South Africa, Pfizer and BioNTech said. And the companies said they haven’t found serious safety concerns so far.

“It is an important step to further confirm the strong efficacy and good safety data we have seen so far, especially in a longer-term follow-up,” said BioNTech Chief Executive Ugur Sahin.

What makes this finding so significant is that the Pfizer vaccine uses a new gene-based technology, named messenger DNA, that could have practical uses in fighting other diseases. The process of creating proteins that teach the body to recognize the virus and produce antibodies to destroy it can be used in other gene-based therapies.

Agree!

It is not a vaccine but a medical device being implanted into people. That is preciously why they are calling the mRna experimental medical device a vaccine for many reasons including the ability for the mainstream media to call anyone who doesn’t want to take it an ant-vaxxer.

This new experimental “vaccine” is not FDA approved.

So if a vaccine is proven to cause injury can the government still mandate it?

Are we expected to accept every vaccine exactly the same?

Like you said big pharma is exempt from being sued if you are vaccine injured.

Covid 19 got an FDA emergency authorization because we are in a medical supposed state of medical emergency.

If we lifted the lockdowns we wouldn’t in a state of emergency and these “vaccines” would have to get actual FDA approval? Which they would never pass because they couldn’t get past 20 years of trails in animals but yet they were allowed to bypass those trials.

Maybe we will be in lockdown for as long as possible so they can give people vaccines for profit and much much more without immunity?

And natural Immunity from getting the FAUCI FLU and recovering from it will last forever and works on all variants and mutations.

I think you're correct. I have not had the vaccine. I live in Vegas and have been out to restaurants and casinos for the past year, in the near vicinity of lots of people. I've probably already been infected and didn't know it. Now I'm immune (knock on wood).

No, that was never the case.

As was stated last year, best estimates are that immunity would last 1 to 3 years based on experience with SARS-CoV-1 (SARS2003) and MERS-CoV (MERS2012). Immunity from the vaccines is actually likely to last longer than having a mild or asymptomatic case of COVID-19 since the immune response is much stronger. Further, we have ample evidence of reinfection with the Brazil variant and the South Africa variant. Those who had the April 2020 variant have very limited protection. This is the observable reality.

Of course the British media were pushing the AZ vaccine because AstraZeneca is a British company and the British make money from AZ vaccine sales.
That's about it.
I have plenty of confidence in the top German, French and other EU scientists who instigated the AZ vaccine ban in the first place.

I've had both shots of the Pfizer vaccine, and no side effects at all, other than I've started to grow antlers. But that could be a coincidence. /rimshot

Great. Looking for long term news on the effectiveness of the Johnson vaccine, which is what they had at the clinic for my jab day.

Johnson just experienced a disaster. 15 million doses of their vaccine had to be thrown out after Ingredient Mix-Up at their Baltimore Factory.

I know about that. A subcontractor ruined a batch.

That’s an accident, not a field tested therapeutic result.

Anti-Vaxxer propaganda.

Why are you so concerned?

Don’t take the vaccine. You don’t need to recruit people.

Not like you give 2 turds about me or random people.

Why continue to convince??

Because that’s cult behavior. Hate to be the one break it to you.

Ok, But I haven’t had a cold or flu or any sickness of any kind in almost 30 years, I got the FAUCI FLU in January 2020 and it gave me a mild head cold for 3 days. Obviously Natural Immunity lasts longer than 3 years. I gave it to my Wife and she was really sick for 2 weeks. When I spoke with my Immunology doctor, he agreed with me, in private of course.

My daughter works in the Hospital and is around the FAUCI FLU patients daily, she has not got it again and neither have any of us.

Not a chance immunity would last a lifetime. The efficacy duration will be measured in months. Here is some data from one study:

“One dose helped protect against hospitalization, with effectiveness peaking about five weeks after immunization at 84% effective at preventing hospitalization.

But the follow-up data available beyond that time is where it gets concerning. Effectiveness peaked and then began to decline, going from 84% effective in the fifth week to 61% effective the following week and then 58% beyond then.

It’s unknown whether that trend would continue beyond that, as that’s all the data the researchers had available to crunch in the study. But the findings suggest that protection starts to wane from a single dose after five weeks or so.”

Here is a link to an Israeli chart which shows the decline in efficacy after the second shot.

At a recent investor conference Pfizer said annual vaccination would be necessary and additional booster shots may be given.

Stats provided by the maker of the vaccine.

No conflict of interest there, is there?

Are they the same ones who swear up and down that there are no deaths from the vaccines?

There is zero reason to ge Arvind Kumar t the vaccine if you’ve had COVID-19.

In fact, in Israel, we are forbidden to get the vaccine if you recovered from a confirmed case of COVID, and we have the most aggressive vaccination campaign in the world.

Speaking of cult behavior......

Guilt tripping someone by accusing them of “not caring” is such a liberal manipulation technique that it’s ridiculous.

Try it over at DU where it belongs.

They’ll welcome you with open arms.

Considering that it’s impossible to know what percentage of the people walking around will contract the disease -if they come in contact with somebody who has it, this could be the same as the general population without the vaccine.

Isn’t Pfizer one of the Big Pharma companies that produces the annual flu vaccine that the CDC reported for the 2019-2020 flu season was only 39% effective? Please explain how they “suddenly” in the span of less than a year, at Warp Speed, develop a vaccine that is NOW reported to be 91.3% effective??? That just seems like too big of a leap to make. And to add, the 2018-2019 flu vaccine was only 29% effective.
