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.

The flu vaccine is not the covid vaccine. With the flu vaccine people are making their best guess which strains will predominate 6 mo the in advance of flu season. You cannot compare one with the other
How are all the variants of the vaccine going to affect the nation’s blood banks?
i like real vaccines.
i like people being healthy.
i like to help people be healthy.
i care about people.
i do not like liars, traitors, seditionists, antiAmericans,
and NWO parasites and protectors - like you.
In lead bow long immunity will last. Many vaccines require a booster periodically. However recent studies have show. the vaccine is just as effective at 6 months as it was when given
should be unclear how long immunity will last
I didn’t make any other point.
I know full well they are not the same. They are also guessing on Covid since no samples of the live virus exist and they are also guessing that the spike protein is the silver bullet.
Not the case. Immunity (whether from a vaccine or from an infection) depends on whether the neutralizing antibodies remain effective against the pathogen. If the antibody attachment sites are altered because of a change in the protein structure (typically a result of changes to the folding pattern caused by an amino acid difference), neutralizing antibodies will become less effective or completely ineffective.
This happens all the time with Influenza. That's why people can get the flu year after year. Sometimes twice in the same year. Influenza virus rapidly mutates and that presents a number of challenges. We've already observed this for COVID-19 with the Brazil and South Africa variants. They show resistance to the neutralizing antibodies generated for the April 2020 variant (basically the antibodies sort of still fit, but not very well). Those who had a mild or asymptomatic case of COVID-19 with the April 2020 variant are susceptible to the Brazil or South Africa variants because the levels of neutralizing antibodies present in their body isn't sufficient to effectively bind to all the S-proteins on the new variants.
That's the risk: being exposed to sufficient quantities of the wrong variant. It's also not the end of the world. But it's something we need to keep in mind and evaluate as part the decision making process in terms of what our individual risk appetite is. Along with that it's important to know whether those particular variants are even present in your area. If nobody near you has the Brazil or South Africa variants, then there's not a risk from those.
I’m sorry then i misunderstood. have a blessed passover
The same legal parameters apply to every vaccine and manufacturer in the US.
And by historical standards these vaccines are more effective and safer than all before them.
In the Navy I was hit with at least 20 shots that presented more risk.
Still, I’m holding out for the J&J vaccine for emotional reasons.
This is false information. The virus has been isolated and has been cultured. Further, it's been directly imaged. There's actual pictures of it. And we have its complete genetic sequence. We know every protein - every amino acid - of every structure for the entire thing. There's no "guess" about the S-protein. It binds to cell surface receptors to pass through the cell membrane. Antibodies bind to the S-protein blocking its ability to enter cells.
There's not much we don't know about COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes it at this point. Claims to the contrary are uninformed fearmongering.
they are NOT held under the same standards,
and they are not the same.
there are vaccines, and there are mRNA-made DNA operating
systems that we know now, enter the human DNA
after polyadenylation (for example).
furthermore, THIS VIRUS was made, manufactured to inject
these DNA operating by Fear Uncertainly Distress and
MSM-screamed TERROR.
furthermore, vaccines are TESTED.
these were not - because of FEAR-related EMERGENCY
and by claiming every death was from the FAUXI-virus
released in Wuhan by Xi and Pfizer.
connect the dots.
if you know so much, why are there HIV strands (4)
in the FauXi-designed WarCrime Coronavirus???
or why is Pangolin mRNA in the a portion of it.
quess which part?
a few of the key points:
Mutation-Deletions are bringing the virus back to its unmodified state - the HIV insertion is specifically degrading faster than the rest.
-The virus is quickly loosing its ability to infect humans.
-Verifiable proof this was engineered "For Gain-of-function" advances, specifically contains a genetic sequence from HIV.
Two of the sequences are common to most organisms, including other viruses. You see them appear everywhere. The other two are only 42% similar. Pretty much a non-match. Find a new conspiracy theory.
"or why is Pangolin mRNA in the a portion of it."
I don't know what that even means since there is no mRNA from any species in SARS-CoV-2. I'm assuming you're referencing the similarity to Pangolin-CoV, which is a coronavirus observed in Pangolin populations in southeast Asia which is genetically similar to SARS-CoV-2. What does that mean? That viruses jump species. Here's a graphic showing how things look when you do genetic sampling of the various viruses that are very similar to SARS-CoV-2, but are living in bat, pangolin, and other populations:
This is directly contradicted by observable reality. The R0 has gone from an original R0 of around 1.2 (original Wuhan variant) to an R0 of around 2.5 (April 2020 variant) to an R0 of between 4.3 - 5.7 (depending on which variant - UK, South Africa, California, Brazil, etc.)
you are neither truthful about the HIV strands
inserted for GAIN OF FUNCTION,
and you are totally untruthful about the Pangolin mRNA
insertion added for the same reason.
which BIG PHARMA company pays you?
The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
I like my vaccinations to last a lifetime or at least 10 years. TYVM.
AND for IMPORTANT stuff like polio, smallpox, Tetanus.
Googling the “most important”, “top ten”, “Top Five”, “Most important in history”, vaccines....
The NUMBER ONE answer is ...... wait for it..... Flu!!!!
Yes folks, FLU vaccines are more important and historically more important than polio and smallpox! (measles, diphtheria, rabies, etc. etc.)
