Pfizer confirms vaccine effective 94% in real life study – but more interesting is the fact India has not approved the vaccine – Pfizer-BioNtech Vaccine is Indeed 94% Effective in Preventing COVID-19, Finds First Real-World Study | The Weather Channel – Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com
“The Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine has been pronounced to be 94% effective against the deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus, the first peer-reviewed real-world research has confirmed. This is the first effective demonstration of the coronavirus vaccine shots in the real world, and these results could play a major role in helping humanity emerge from the pandemic.”
“The single-dose shot generated 57% protection against symptomatic infections after two weeks. Moreover, the vaccine effectiveness in preventing death was recorded at 72% after the first dose, while the chances of hospitalisation came down to 74%.”
“The study was entirely conducted on Israel’s population, with Israel having inoculated over nine million of its citizens since the rollout of its vaccination drive on December 19, 2021. In doing so, the country has successfully carried out one of the fastest vaccination drives in the world over the last two months.
The results were close to the ones obtained in clinical trials last year, where two doses were found to be 95% effective. Further, the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine was also found capable of generating protection against the UK variant of SAR-CoV-2.
In spite of its high efficacy, the emergency use approval of the Pfizer vaccine was declined in India. The mRNA-based vaccine was rejected due to the chances and concerns over certain Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and less information on additional safety information and immunogenicity data in the local population.”
Even though highly effective – Pfizer explores a 3rd shot! – they get paid per shot – Pfizer is testing whether third shot will help tackle COVID-19 variants – CNET
“Pfizer has announced it’s trialing a third COVID-19 shot to be administered six to 12 months after a patient’s two-dose regimen. The trial will examine whether a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine would tackle any new strains that emerge, the two companies said Thursday.
The study will use participants from its Phase 1 trial in the US "in order to be prepared for any potential future strain changes."”
Fauci says vaccinated people can socialize! Fauci says ‘serious talks’ happening so that people vaccinated for COVID-19 can socialize together | Daily Mail Online
“Dr Anthony Fauci has revealed that there have been ‘very serious discussions’ between the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about allowing people who have received their full course of COVID-19 vaccinations to socialize together.
Fauci, Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said that ‘common sense’ showed that the risk was ‘extremely low,’ for two people who are both fully vaccinated to see one another in an interview with CNN.
But the nation’s top infectious disease expert still refuses to dine indoors himself, despite being fully vaccinated.”
I still cant get over why not figure out metrics that make indoor similar to outdoor via CO2 readings? Why is this not pushed and made the agenda so indoor facility can pay to get them to the level of acceptable outdoor ventilation.
“New York reopened indoor dining in phases, with New York City reopening restaurants at 25 percent capacity in mid-February. Friday, that capacity goes up to 35 percent.
New York is currently seeing the second highest number of cases per capita each day of any state in the US, with higher numbers only in South Carolina.”
Opened but didn’t once again make indoor any different other than the hope the percentage game is improved with “less” infected and more already infected – still just make indoor = outdoor via ventilation solution and measure with CO2 readers which are VERY cheap and found on amazon.
Tagging people based on vaccination – it is coming – Vaccination ‘passports’ may open society, but inequity looms (apnews.com)
“There is new pressure from the government to encourage vaccinations. Israeli lawmakers on Wednesday passed a law allowing the Health Ministry to disclose information on people who have yet to be vaccinated. Under the policy, names can be released to the ministries of education, labor, social affairs and social services, as well as local governments, “with the purpose of allowing these bodies to encourage people to get vaccinated.””
“As those countries begin vaccinations, wealthier nations are starting to talk about “green passport” logistics, security, privacy and policy.
The British government said it is studying the possibility of issuing some kind of “COVID status certification” that could be used by employers and organizers of large events as it prepares to ease lockdown restrictions this year. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the policy could cause problems.
“We can’t be discriminatory against people who, for whatever reason, can’t have the vaccine,” he said.”
I still think the message of being healthy is being covered up with vaccine. Covid deaths are tied to inflammation – guess what drives inflammation – diets with high fructose – guess what is in almost everything in the US – high corn fructose syrup – Study: Immune damage tied to diets high in fructose (ajc.com)
“A study published this week in the journal Nature Communications reveals that consuming a diet high in fructose leads to an inflamed immune system. That causes more reactive molecules which are tied to inflammation. This kind of swelling can lead to damaged cells and tissues and contribute to organs and body systems failing to work properly, thus causing disease.
Researchers wrote fructose is “the second most abundant dietary sugar found in humans.””
“The study’s findings have produced more understanding about how fructose can be tied to diabetes and obesity. It also adds to the evidence about the harmful impacts of eating high amounts of fructose.”
