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.

No offense, but you should seriously try to lose weight. About 78% of Covid deaths occurred in ppl who were obese or seriously overweight. Losing weight would be far more efficacious in fighting Covid than a vaccine IMO.
I have eaten salad for lunch and dinner every day for the past 2 weeks. The problem I have is that I have two blown out disks in my back. Ever had blown out disks? Not a great time. Hell, I used to run 5 miles a day. I can barely walk a mile and a half now. Coughing and sneezing will about put me on my knees. If I got Covid, it would be the death of me.
So, what in this instance is the criteria for “case”? Serious illness or worse? Symptomatic illness or worse? Antibodies to the virus found, as opposed to antibodies to the spike protein?
I’m not challenging the study, just BBC’s “journalism”.
Ah yes. CBS and one of the alphabet government agencies. What is there not to believe.
Getting buried in bull scat out here.
I’ve seen success with intermittent fasting…
“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.”
******************************************************************
How many people have died after NOT RECEIVING the vaccine... some within hours of NOT RECEIVING the vaccine? Are those deaths connected to NOT RECEIVING the vaccine?
>>>and you have no proof that there is no proof.
And you have no proof that he has no proof that there is no proof.
The mortality data is comprised from data collected from all 50 states. It’s pretty crazy to suggest that it’s BS. I feel like I’m getting buried in paranoid delusions around here.
“ Pfizer says its vaccine is preventing 91% of coronavirus cases in the six months after people are immunised.”
No proof.
*******************************************************
Really? No proof? The 91% efficacy rate comes from comparing the total outcome differences (six months after receiving their 2nd shot) between the folks in the clinical trial who received two placebo shots and the folks in the clinical trial who received two doses of the actual vaccine. I KNOW, MATH IS HARD.

... “The 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.
Similar, long-term studies are taking place for all the vaccines including Oxford-AstraZeneca, but Pfizer has been the first to report.
It’s bull. There is no truth coming from the cesspool.
The data has been skewed from day one for the simple reason. CONTROL!
We’ve been had.
“ between the folks in the clinical trial who received two placebo shots and the folks in the clinical trial who received two doses of the actual vaccine. I KNOW, MATH IS HARD.
…..
And yet we’re each group exposed equally?
Were they purposely exposed to covid?
Who made up the two groups - age, gender, race, etc?
And it is a tiny study that has not been reproduced by an outside group.
It is a press release …
Dude, it’s the 46 thousand folks who were in the Phase 3 clinical trial. I KNOW, READING IS HARD ALSO. You can query and see the demographic makeup of that study if you want.
OMG!
Exactly.
They are just numbers.
“Reading must be hard” since you seem to have missed the rest of my post.
What is it about Shiite Vaxers with their feigned superiority and snide remarks??
How do they know both groups were equally exposed to covid virus?
Do they just assume this, or is the exposure equally controlled?
Has this been reproduced by an independent group to verify the results?
Did members of both groups have equal vitamin D blood levels?
but but but the chinese virus will mutant!
Must wear masks and be 6ft no 3ft distance and only the essential people can have jobs and the newsreaders and tv talk show people do not have to wear masks....
That particular figure is not one that is easy to fake, since they have names and numbers, and local folks can look at them.
You also have no basis for specific disbelief of it.
