COVID-19: Study shows one vaccine dose leaves UK's over-60s 'seriously vulnerable'
SKY News ^ | January 2, 2021 | by Thomas Moore

The evidence that the second dose can be delayed for three months looks shaky - not even the manufacturers recommend it.

Vaccines have to work in the real world, not in the artificial bubble of a clinical trial.

So the findings from Israel's impressively-rapid rollout of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine are troubling.

They suggest the UK's decision to delay the second dose exposes the elderly and vulnerable to a significantly higher risk of infection than we were told by the government's vaccines advisers.

But the stats from Israel suggests that the efficacy of one dose is just 33%.

The Israeli scientists believe the UK experts have significantly overestimated the immunity from one dose of the vaccine.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine uses mRNA technology that has never before been rolled out to protect people in the real world.

Two doses look spectacularly effective. That's been shown in the clinical trials.

But the evidence that the second dose can be delayed for three months looks shaky. Not even the manufacturers recommend it.

And the experience from Israel does nothing to boost confidence in the way the vaccine is being used in the UK.

I get dose two in 5 hours. Hopefully I get some good mutant superpowers this time. Dose one just game me a sore shoulder.

“Two doses look spectacularly effective. That’s been shown in the clinical trials.”

Apparently, the definition of “spectacularly effective” is only 1 hospitalization out of ~21,500 (vaccinated), vs 9 out of ~21,500 (placebo). [Pfizer trials].

“But the stats from Israel suggests that the efficacy of one dose is just 33%. “

I’ve heard one dose is 50%. Even at that, it’s a foolish idea. If people want it, they should be able to get the recommended, prescribed dose as it is intended to be administered. That’s how it was tested & approved. No one knows what the effect of waiting several months in between will be. They may end up having to get a 3rd inoculation.

How does this 33% vaccine compare to a small shot of ivermectin?

All of this is the largest Phase III clinical trial and I am not willing to be a study participant. No thanks.

Not a problem with a 3rd inoculation - there’s another article saying the mutations will require more and more and more and more vaccinations to keep us forever enslaved to the bug that killed FReedom

Infectious Disease - vaccine effectiveness with only one jab/shot
Single shot is not living up to Pfizer/BioNTech originally claimed effectiveness

ReaganGeneration2 :" “Two doses look spectacularly effective.
That’s been shown in the clinical trials.”

(From the article):" So the findings from Israel's impressively-rapid rollout of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine are troubling.
They suggest the UK's decision to delay the second dose exposes the elderly and vulnerable to a significantly higher risk of infection
than we were told by the government's vaccines advisers.
But the stats from Israel suggests that the efficacy of one dose is just 33%.(Emphasis mine)

Please note that the Chinese government has produced their own vaccine, which according to their own published results is only 50% effective.
Little wonder why they have hacked into many of the BioMedical centers working on vaccines research and development.

England has a lot of old English people they need to kill off to make breathing room for the Mohammedans.

Anyone thinking about taking this experimental vaccine should watch this video. At least watch the from the 14-minute mark to the 26-minute mark. https://www.bitchute.com/video/2m2PRBUXdU74/?fbclid=IwAR1Ev1LzJ7fhWgVAFuhQdukWqjyIW5qSjnBPTL9xKVejYHnKXPfP-jgDvk8

One dose is not as effective in real life as the clinical trials and now they are trying to convince us that two doses in the clinical trials is *spectacularly effective* as if it will be in real life?

No dice.

Right. And even at that, no tested or demonstrated ability to keep one from getting infected —only making those infected a bit less likely to be symptomatic to the level of needing hospitalization. That is, it doesn’t fit the traditional definition of a vaccine at all.

I went to the Front Line Doctors web site to see how I could get Hydroxychloroquine from them, like she says.

That information, where it says, “Learn about options for you or your doctor to obtain or prescribe medication for COVID-19” is no longer available.

*sigh*
