The highly-anticipated Pfizer’s safety and efficacy study of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is finally out. After six months of monitoring over 45,000 patients, the study found that there were 15 deaths in the vaccine group and 14 deaths in the unvaccinated placebo group. In other words, more vaccinated people died from the virus than the unvaccinated. According to the study, there were no deaths among 12‒15-year-old participants. The study not only demonstrates the lack of efficacy in the most important group but also highlights the extremely low fatality rate of Covid-19 in most of the 45,000 participants.

I was going to say me too, but I’m in Blackstone and it’s doing well also.

It’s not a misleading headline - nor is it clickbait.

The study (and the articles intent) is to show how safe the vaccine is and that it doesn’t kill people.

Isn’t that a good thing?

Thank you for referencing that article Skywise. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Almost never any mention of victim obesity or vitamin D deficiency in these reports.

Thanks for posting this.

It’s amazing that out of ~22,000 treated and ~22,000 placebo that only three died of Covid, two in placebo group attributed to Covid and one in the treated group attributed to Covid pneumonia.

Is there an MOE on this kind of study data?

Are two deaths out of a roughly 22,500 control group within a margin of error or beyond it for statistical purposes?

In other words, can any statistical inference be made from the two deaths? Even if the survival rate is 99.7%, that's still seven deaths out of 22,500 people, so it seems as if the two deaths is not significant (except to the families involved).

Is this right or wrong?

Conclusion: With up to 6 months of follow-up and despite a gradually declining trend in vaccine efficacy, BNT162b2 had a favorable safety profile and was highly efficacious in preventing COVID-19.

From the excerpt of the article:

In other words, more vaccinated people died from the virus than the unvaccinated.

Which is patently false.

From what I see as far as getting there’s Covid not a dimes worth of deference. But having had the Covid and surviving it I’ll play the hand I was dealt

And causing obesity in the wallets of formerly lean non-billionaires, who are now billionaires...

You really are dumb, aren’t. I guess you’re a product of public schrool that thinks 14 is bigger than 15.

Doesn’t anyone find it odd that one Cause of Death is listed as “Death”?!

From the study itself, page 6, 6th paragraph
“Among 42,094 evaluable ≥12-year-olds without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, 77 COVID-19 cases with onset ≥7 days post-dose 2 were observed through the data cut-off (March 13, 2021) among vaccine recipients and 850 among placebo recipients, corresponding to 91.3% VE (95% CI [89.0-93.2]; Table 2). Among 44,486 evaluable participants, irrespective of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, 81 COVID-19 cases were observed among vaccine and 873 among placebo recipients, corresponding to 91.1% VE (95% CI [88.8-93.0]).”

10 times as many Covid cases among the unvaccinated.
Since Covid has a 2% death rate, the low number of deaths in the unvaccinated group is surprising.

At least I passed reading comprehension, which you clearly failed.

DIED FROM COVID-19:

VACCINATED: 1
UNVACCINATED: 2

That's making too much out of a detail. They died at the same rate which is a good thing. It means the vaccine was SAFE vs. the control group and didn't lead to a spike in deaths. Drawing any other inferences is propaganda.

Under the possible reported causes of death, they have “Death.”

I fear that one day I, too, will fall victim to 'death by death.'

Two deaths from Covid out of 45,000 people, vaxxed or not.

That fails to frighten me. Better luck nest time, Pfizer.
