They are cha gi g their message now to “while it won’t protect you from getting it, it will increase you chances of surviving if you do”

Gosh, instead of a 99.6% chance of surviving, we might possibly (but doubtfully) now have a 99.623% chance of surviving covid but an Increased risk of dying suddenly.

At one point, the average effectiveness against the virus had fallen as low as 36 percent.

So it's like the flu shot.

One way to ‘prove it’ or at least give an educated guess is to take two groups, one vaccinated and one unvaccinated and compare the hospitalization and death rates between the two groups. Those two groups could also be broken down by age group and further broken down by common preexisting conditions such as how many vaccinated 50yo’ds with diabetes or asthma were hospitalized with mild or severe disease or died vs unvaccinated 50yo’ds with diabetes or asthma with mild or severe disease or died. If the unvaccinated died or had severe disease 6x or 20x more often than the vaccinated, there’s your real-world proof.

I’ve been following John Campbell, PhD and retired nursing professor, on youTube. Lots of good stuff, tho he explicitly avoids saying what he actually thinks of the vaccine in order to stay on youTube.

Yes. Oddly, no such "real world proof" seems to exist. I'm not sure any attempt was even made to get that kind of data.

Of course, it hardly matters. With a survival rate well over 99.8% (or is it now 99.9%+?) for the vast majority of people, and hospitalization rates no higher than the flu (if even that high), almost no one has any real need to be "vaccinated", even IF the "vaccines" were effective (they're not) and "safe" (they're not).

The whole thing is absurd. There's no reason for the entire world to be constantly preoccupied with "COVID", or the useless and dangerous "vaccines".

In order to convolute this type of comparison... the definition of who is “vaccinated” has been repeatedly changed by the CDC.

Infectious Disease ping -" ..the bivalent shots.. fall short of the World Health Organization's 50 percent efficacy" for the XBB.1.5 variant
A CDC report into new XBB.1.5 variant

(from the article):" Most Americans who get their bivalent booster vaccine are not protected against falling sick with Covid, official data suggests. A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released today found the updated shots were just 48 percent effective
at stopping symptomatic infection caused by the XBB.1.5 subvariant for up to three months."

"The CDC highlighted that the main purpose of the vaccines is to prevent hospitalization and death rather than transmission,
and they are still expected to give high protection against severe illness.

But the findings mean the bivalent shots - which the US Government paid $5billion for last autumn
- fall short of the World Health Organization's 50 percent efficacy threshold for an effective vaccine."

"When the original Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were developed in 2020, clinical trials indicated they could reduce rates of symptomatic infection by 95 percent.
The shot slowly loss effectiveness as the virus continued to mutate, though.."

(My Comment): The Pfizer CEO stated before the European Union medical board that the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine had NOT been tested against the covid-19 virus
prior to its release to the general public.

Of course they are going to say that. They have to give people SOME reason to take their poison clot shot.
