“all the vaccine manufacturers had to do was prove 50 percent efficacy in preventing serious COVID-19 symptoms and reducing the likelihood of serious complications, hospitalization and death”
Nice to see even the anti-vaxxers have acknowledged at this point that the vaccines reduce injury and death.
It seems their last remaining argument is “vaccines might prevent you from dying, but you might still get the sniffles!”
Yes it does reduce severity. Reduces by just above zero.
The latest 6-month Pfizer study data showed that only 14 in a crowd of 10,000 unvaxxed will get severe covid over 6 months.
Or you can reduce your overall risk from 0.14% to 0.138% by getting the shot.
This is what Absolute Risk is. The all-holy “Effectivity” is Relative Risk, which is meaningless.
“vaccines might prevent you from dying, but you might still get the sniffles!”
and you might spread deadly COVID to those you love.
It’s ironic that Fauci and Friends had consistently downplayed the role of inexpensive “therapeutics,” yet, now they push what is (essentially) an expensive therapeutic.
