Vaccine Effectiveness

[Darts]

"A large-scale study in the U.K. investigating breakthrough infections has found that out of 1.2 million people who received a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, only 0.5 per cent subsequently tested positive for the virus, encouraging evidence of the vaccine’s effectiveness.

The study also found that those who had one or two doses had significantly lower odds of severe disease or hospitalization than unvaccinated people if they contracted the virus — and a lower chance of experiencing long COVID symptoms."

Oh no, the Amigos aren't going to like this study.

On Aug 31, 2020 the 7 day average of covid19 deaths in the UK was 10.
On Aug 31, 2021 the 7 day average of covid19 deaths in the UK was 97.
On Aug 31, 2020 the 7 day average of covid19 hospital admissions in the UK was 120.
On Aug 31, 2021 the 7 day average of covid19 hospital admissions in the UK was 842.
On Aug 31, 2020 the 7 day average of covid19 cases was 1,323.
On Aug 31, 2021 the 7 day average of covid19 cases was 33,433.

On Aug 31, 2020 there was 0% of the UK population vaccinated.
On Aug 31, 2021 78.9% of the UK population over the age of 16 was fully vaccinated. 88.5% have received at least one dose.

The UK hasn't released data on the vaccination status of the cases, hospitalizations or deaths but apparently they will be on Sept 13. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that they will be 'massaging' the numbers. They are going to attempt to convince the populace that 11.5% of the population who remain unvaccinated are the primary drivers of the 25x increase in case counts compared to 2020.

I wonder about the effectiveness of the booster shot? Seems like we will have to get one every year until all the anti-vaxxers die off.

You nailed it.

Where there is smoke there is fire. Anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Just going to leave this here: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/duk...id-vaccines-for-staff-following-outbreak.html

Approximately 350 people at Duke university were infected in an outbreak. Only 8 were unvaccinated.

The booster shot contains replacement batteries for the tracking microchips.
The inductive current from the magnets has been found to be not enough to maintain a charge on their own.
That is why the booster shots are necessary.
Nothing to do with the effectiveness of the vaccine.
That is why Bill Gates also invested in batteries.

See, I can make BS up on the fly.
