Early findings posted ahead of rigorous peer review suggested the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine declined to 42% effectiveness against infection amid sweeping spread of the delta variant, with the Moderna vaccine declining to 76%.

The Great Fauci has already said today that “third doses” are “inevitable” in the USA but not right now.

I read months ago that these vaccines only lasted so many months I’m surprised that people in power can’t admit that to us.

There’s something dirty about their lack of transparency on vaccines and their value like the face they are less effective six months or more down the road.

Once it declines to 20-30% it's no better efficacy than a flu shot.

What happened to the 98% immunity that was promised?

Its actually worse than that. After 6 months to a year the protection will continue down. The reality is that vaccines can never adequately stop infection because infection is first in the throat and sinuses. The immune system does not kick in until it gets to the blood stream. So, even when the vaccine is at its best it will never stop transmission or infection.

I had the two Pfizer shots in March. I have no intention of getting a third one. I don’t believe anything the governments says.

76% effective in preventing hospitalization sounds pretty swell to me.

"While results indicated the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were highly effective against COVID-19 infection (76%, 86%, respectively) and hospitalization (85%, 91.6%) the effectiveness against infection dropped by July to 42% and 76%, respectively."

The other thing to remember about Pfizer is it was the first approved and required ultra-cold storage so it was the one deployed to the highest-risk settings and patients. Likely one reason it looks less efficacious than Moderna in a retrospective study like this.

Well, well, well. Veterinarians would roll out a vaccine against coronaviruses at 95% effectivity when tested at first. A year later it was 50% effective. Three years later it was useless. I see some parallels here...

These Big Pharma studies never EVER mention the tiny, sub-1% reduction in risk of getting severe covid at all that their drugs provide.

Our local talk radio show had a caller who was told by two different health care workers that they couldn’t diagnose the strain of the coronavirus she and her husband had.

So how do we know it’s the delta variant spreading???

What I have heard and what I tend to believe is that the “variant” is only able to be determined at certain state or federal labs.

Select hospitals in each state are sending a certain number (100?, 1000?, ?) of samples each month to these labs to get tested. They are then extrapolating the results of those tests to all of the state infections as a whole.

If 80% of those samples are “delta” then they assume 80% of all infections in the state are “delta”.

From the research article (page 10):

“mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 were originally designed, tested, and proven to reduce the burden of symptomatic disease, hospitalization, and death related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study further supports the effectiveness of both vaccines in doing so, even despite the evolution
of more transmissible viral variants.”

Also, there were zero deaths among those vaccinated with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
