...and it kills or cripples the other 5%??? That's all they test for in phase 1. Not efficacy, just safety. If it killed or crippled anyone they would not have proceeded to phase 2.

Other way around - Phase 1 is efficacy. If it doesn't work it doesn't go to Phase 2. Phase 2 is to assess best dose / dose frequency. Phase 3 is safety and efficacy.

There is Phase 4 post-marketing for more safety and efficacy data.

That would be the 99.7% of the population who recover after getting Covid, including those who are asymptomatic.

Yup. If you only include those sick enough to go to a doctor it drops to 96.4%

IOW,
99.7% infection fatality rate
96.4% case fatality rate

I check off most of the high risk boxes, I think I'll take a pass on the vaccine.

Trump’s virus vaccines will save America before inauguration day.

When you say it like that, sure sounds comical. This whole situation is not funny though. We are on the brink and they are trying to push us over the edge.

There is more a panicked rush than science right now.

Question: are the companies making the vaccine immune from lawsuits?

We shall see, wont we? :)

But count me out.

No it’s not. If you don’t see the bigger picture here, then God help you.

They are playing for keeps.

Has that 95% figure been seen in elderly patients as well, do you know?

I wish people could see past the vaccine to the real agenda.

from another thread:

null and void to Godzilla

Gov Cuomo is now threatening to sue the Trump administration if the distribution plan makes it difficult for ‘people of color’ to receive it.

Meanwhile on the leftist coast, Nancy Pelosi's former nephew, Gov. Newsom won't allow it until and unless it passes a California certification process.

That could take days or years, depending on how compliant the people of California are to knuckling under his rule.

Yes, our "betters" in congress have made double damned sure of it.

We’re in the middle of a coup and they’re still playing weird games.

Excellent question, would like to see a deeper data dig

“It’s 95% because we said so” is not a good enough report.

For sure-I always say that hysteria is the Liberals’ default mode.

Anyway-we can certainly expect the virus sham to continue at least until our “orgy-of-crime-election” is confirmed, one way or another.

I am certain Liberals’ chances diminish by the hour and their loss will ramp-up the virus announcements. Their hysteria will reach new heights.

BTW-The instant the MSM decided Joe won, a ‘vaccine’ was announced. Strange right? Then, after the vote fraud and all the other irregularities were exposed... the Liberals revisited their ‘doom and gloom’ scenarios.

What? We weren't supposed to notice their childishly, half-a%*ed lack of effort to conceal the proximity between the vaccine announcement and the Biden ‘victory’?

I hate it when ignorant people insult me like that.

The media and the Dems are playing much of the public. The question is can we survive this political misinformation or will something be done about it. I feel like a citizen of say Iran, the government and the media is corrupt and with election fraud there is nothing anyone can do about I without being shamed or prosecuted. It's why Trump's biggest part of his life could be after election leading us from the darkness, we do need a national leader to be effective and it ain't going to be one of the current list of GOP pansies.

Statistically speaking there should be asymptomatic people in the study and there were no adverse effects.

It was only a matter of time before science will catch up. Now why didn’t they realize the news before the election?

Point of order, you said:

We’re in the middle of a coup and they’re still playing weird games.

That should be:

We’re in the middle of an attempted coup and they’re still playing weird games.

It's not a revolution, revolutions are, by definition, successful.

It's a revolt.
