Booster efficacy (or lack thereof) visualization
This video (8 min) has a nice visualization of how well the booster works over time. This is based on UK government data. No surprises here: the booster is mostly helping the virus.

“One thing that the vaccine mandates seem to accomplish is to make it easier for the virus to infect you and to prolong the pandemic. This of course is exactly the opposite of what we are being told.
This video provides a nice visualization of the effect of the booster shots over time.
I’m not sure who made the video, but the graphs are consistent with data I’ve seen elsewhere. “

Except that 90% are vaccinated. So all this means is that for the current strain the vaccine isn’t doing anything for anyone. It *doesn’t* mean you’re more likely to get the current strain if you’re vaccinated.
Yes, I’ve read reports about negative efficacy of the vaccines but I don’t think this shows that. Yes, I got the J&J shot and yes I regret it...but we have to be balanced here, all I see are “percentages” being stated over and over but they’re misleading.
My 55 year old son...triple vax. He’s doing well. Thank God he was diligent and tested himself after a trip as he is the caretaker for my other son who has cancer. They are now a few miles apart in the same town.
Effectiveness against mortality High levels of protection (over 90%) are also seen against mortality with all 3 vaccines and against both the Alpha and Delta variants with relatively limited waning (6, 10, 11). Vaccine effectiveness estimates against mortality with the Omicron variant are not yet available but are expected to be similar to or higher than those against hospitalisation
We haven't collected enough data on Omicron yet, so current discussion is relegated to anecdotal evidence.
However it is clear, even from this same document that the shot did protect people through Delta.
However now? I don't see the need to pursue any policy dictating vaccination, and never did.
This is a meaningless statistic, because you can’t have a “case” without a test, and those most likely to be vaccinated are also most likely to get tested.
Just among my family and acquaintances, this phenomena is undeniable.
Out of the 100 or so people I “keep tabs on”, there are perhaps 25 of us who have never been vaccinated and never will be - voluntarily, at least. The other 75 were eagerly keeping up with boosters, etc..
The same 25 unvaccinated also never bother to get tests - we feel the tests are unreliable, and we aren’t afraid of getting Covid anyway. In fact, most of us assume we probably had Covid and mistook it for a cold.
The 75 or so vaccinated are getting tests all the time. They are obsessed with testing, in fact.
So, it stands to reason that most documented cases are among the vaccinated, because they are getting get tested, they are freaking out every time they get symptoms and running out to get another test.
But that correlation bids NOT prove there is any cause / effect relationship vaccinations and Covid.
Note: There could well be a cause / effect relationship - I’m just saying this strong correlation between vaccinations and reported cases doesn’t prove it.
How many times can you be shot before you die?
Asking for a friend
I didn’t see anywhere in the writeup the percentage of people over 18 that have been vaxed.
If 100% of the people are vaxed, then 100% of the people that get the Vax were vaxed. Proves nothing.
So I did a quick search and found out that around 84% have had two shots. If 89% of those hospitalized are in that group, then one have to conclude that the Vax is rather useless at keeping you out of the hospital.
