Coronavirus: Pfizer jab 'stopping 91% of cases in first six months'
BBC ^ | 4/1/2021

Posted on 04/01/2021 2:03:11 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Pfizer says its vaccine is preventing 91% of coronavirus cases in the six months after people are immunised.

And a separate study shows even people in their 80s and 90s are producing impressive levels of antibodies after receiving both doses of the vaccine.

Only 63% of them, however, also produce the T-cells that help maintain those antibodies in the longer term.

And the crucial question of how long the protection from the vaccine lasts remains unanswered.

Pfizer analysed data from 46,000 people on the original clinical trial, exactly six months after their second dose.

It also looked at 800 trial participants in South Africa and concluded the vaccine was equally effective against the variant identified there - despite laboratory studies suggesting people's antibodies were less effective at attacking this variant.

"The high vaccine efficacy observed through up to six months following a second dose and against the variant prevalent in South Africa provides further confidence in our vaccine's overall effectiveness," chairman and chief executive officer Albert Bourla said.

“Covid cases spun down naturally last summer without a vaccine.”

...but with the added expense and inconvenience of crashing the Global economy and locking down society, and then getting a bigger wave anyway.

Well, I think that we can trust that those making a profit off of this would never make extraordinary claims as to efficacy.

and you have no proof that there is no proof. Sorry FRiend, but no one can prove the vaccine is stopping 91% of the china cough

How do you even measure how many times you were exposed??

Are all study participants hermetically sealed in a lab and systematically exposed with a Qtip?

Science is built on the foundation of reproducibility.

When studies are reproduced with the same results, we have something to discuss.

Until then, you nailed it - we have a company that profits from this treatment making a claim.

And the history of reproducibility in drug trials is not stellar.

So far, zero.

There have been zero medical investigations which have concluded that any death in either the United States or the UK was the result of any COVID-19 vaccine.

That’s out of 100 million people in the US alone who’ve gotten at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. 100 million people got it, zero deaths where an investigation pointed to the vaccines as a cause.

The vaccines have been the basis of more conspiracy theories than there have been deaths from the vaccines.

They wanted to start the festivities under obama with ebola.
Only we got lucky and ebola doc and Kaci Hickox didn’t have the bug.
That’s why Brak then wanted to bring ebola patients here.
Moving them from the hot zone would increase chances of infection and spread.

I can’t believe that. I’ve read news stories about people who’ve received or just received the vaxx’s and died, some with in hours; one I remember was a 28yo nurse.

Yep, like I posted in another thread I’m highly suspicious of taking this vaccine while our government is currently occupied by domestic enemies hellbent on the countries destruction. What would they like more than anything? To get rid of those who oppose them. Who is that? ME!

Look at this guy.....

Denied by the pro-vax folks, of course. It’s just a coincidence , you know.

The vaccine producers will never find the cause of death to be their vaccines, or any vaccines.

It just is not on their radar.

there’s no way of knowing how many deaths were actually caused by COVID.

The numbers have been fudged so much since this thing started, I don’t think the true number will ever be known.

I gave 66 shots in 4 hours tonight. That’s 1 shot every 3 minutes and 38 seconds. Nobody complained that it hurt. I weigh 300 lbs and have a beard so I don’t think you’d want me sitting on your lap while I jabbed you though.

It’s not entirely possible that it can cause depopulation. It’s the plan.

Good that you are taking Vitamin D and supplementing with Zinc. They are a good way to improve your odds in the function of your immune system.

I think getting the vaccine will prevent you from being as contagious as someone without. Maybe as time goes on they will discover vaccines do better at prevention than we think. I am always in favor of improving my odds.

Zinc supplementation:

However, it is tricky to know what the safe dose of zinc if you are planning to take large daily amounts. I say no more that 20 mg daily and let your hamburger and oyster consumption make up any extra you need.
