Israeli, UK data offer mixed signals on Pfizer vaccine’s potency against Delta strain
The Times of Israel ^ | 07/30/2021 | Nathan Jeffay

Local research claims Pfizer shot now only 41% effective against symptomatic COVID, while British stats have it at 88%

New data from Israel and the United Kingdom painted a confusing and contradictory picture on Thursday as to the effectiveness of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in fighting off the Delta variant of the coronavirus.

New Health Ministry statistics indicated that, on average, the Pfizer shot — the vaccine given to nearly all Israelis — is now just 39% effective against infection, while being only 41% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID. Previously, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was well over 90% effective against infection.

Meanwhile, a new UK study published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine found the same vaccine to be 88% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID — more than twice the rate found in the Israeli data.

Israel’s research agreed, at least, that the shot was highly effective in avoiding serious illness, at 91.4% effectiveness.

Some analysts have warned that the figures on vaccine effectiveness are prone to major inaccuracies because of a range of factors, including questions over whether there is accurate data on infection levels among the non-vaccinated, which is vital for such stats.

The Israeli statistics also appeared to paint a picture of protection that gets weaker as months pass after vaccination, due to fading immunity. People vaccinated in January were said to have just 16% protection against infection now, while in those vaccinated in April, effectiveness was at 75%.

I think Israel had the Pfizer vaccine very early. Earlier than the UK. So if I had to guess the differential here has to do with time. 10 weeks after 2nd shot, its protection fades.

Someone is lying about effectiveness against illness. The virus always had a survival rate much higher than 99% for the healthy.

It appears the vaccinated are the problem. They are getting and spreading COVID at a much higher percentage according to the CDC.

A new CDC report detailed 469 cases of COVID-19 linked to an outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts between July 3 and July 17.

Of the infections, 74% occurred in fully vaccinated people who had one of the three FDA-emergency approved vaccines and 80% had symptoms.

It seems that all they ever promised was that the vaccine would reduce risk of severe illness, hospitalization or death. They never promised it would prevent infection or spread of the virus.

In that regard they probably shouldn’t have called it a vaccine. Among many other mistakes they are making.

****************************************

****************************************

The Ziverdo Kit
Ziverdo kit (Zinc, Ivermectin, and Doxycycline) is a triple combination of active drugs at their effective doses. You might wonder why you have a supplement like a zinc tablet, an anti-parasitic agent, and an antibiotic in a kit. Well, it is a matter of research, and you can be sure that the best would be what the INDIAN FDA would approve.

Ivermectin, one of the Ziverdo kit constituents, has been an agent employed to treat several parasitic infections. It is indicated for use at the appropriate dosage, but safety at a higher dosage has not been established. Some have reported visual defects at higher doses. You may be curious enough to ask the benefit you stand to gain from the triple therapy of the Ziverdo kit. Yes, it does attack organisms of which makes it an excellent anti-viral agent. Ziverdo kit has an impressive efficacy on viruses, making it logical for its use in Dengue, Yellow fever, sindbis virus. Ivermectin usually comes in a dose of 3-6mg, but in the Ziverdo kit, the dose is increased to 12mg dispersible tablet for efficacy.

Zinc is another essential drug in the triple combination, rightly referred to as a supplement; zinc tablet has been used in different conditions such as diarrhea to reduce bowel movement. You might begin to wonder how that has to do with the virus. Yes, zinc tablet has a significance at a higher dose. It is employed at a lower dose in diarrhea cases, especially for babies who take a Zinc tablet of 20mg daily. Zinc is an excellent immune booster at a higher dose and has been recommended as a dietary supplement but not at an amount higher than the recommended dietary intake. The kit has Zinc acetate, which is equivalent to 50mg elemental zinc.

Doxycycline is a well-known drug used for several bacterial infections. Its use has benefited individuals who suffer viral infections due to doxycycline activity on RNA viruses. One of the reasons why the triple therapy of the Ziverdo kit is relevant is the anti-inflammatory activity of doxycycline. One of the most life-threatening symptoms of the Virus is hyper-inflammation of the airways, common among non-survivors of the Virus illness. Ziverdo kit has 100mg of doxycycline, which is the standard dose of the drug.

According to this guy Israel and the US did not wait long enough to give the 2nd dose, only 3 weeks. The uk was 8 to 12 weeks. It was enough to make the difference. Or a short duration between spike protein jab is more likely to ruin ones immune system.

All they ever promised? That is laughable. The promises have been evolving daily. Two months ago, once vaccinated you would never have to wear a mask again and you are protected against the virus long, long, term.

Get the shot and be free. LOL

Now the promise is to keep shooting up an experimental drug that has a long list of side effects (long-term is still unknown), including death (I know this from losing a friend), until we get it right. Also, hell with the damage to our children, let’s shoot up babies too (in testing).

They are like the national hurricane center constantly changing the cone and intensity daily with most people’s attention span being shorter than a sand flea.

They have said dozens if not hundreds of things that are simply not true. And silenced the truth.

What the politicians said and what the actual shot information said are two vastly different things.

The shots never claimed to stop infections, it was said that they MAY. It was claimed they would improve out comes.

“The shots never claimed to stop infections, it was said that they MAY. It was claimed they would improve out comes.”

Sounding more and more like a... therapeutic.

“The shots never claimed to stop infections, it was said that they MAY. It was claimed they would improve out comes.”

They always claimed it would stop the spread (see news clip below). That’s not true when the majority of new cases are the vaccinated. The survival rate for COVID has always been over 99% for the healthy, but let’s inject the healthy with an experimental drug whos side-effects are not known, but one is death and long-term disability.

Fauci and Walensky, the CDC’s chief, both recommend getting immunized with one of the vaccines authorized in the U.S. as soon as you are eligible — widespread vaccination will very likely help stop the spread of whatever strains of the coronavirus are circulating in your area and lessen the development of new mutations and strains.
