Which is not what you claimed. You claimed that the covid vaccine was ineffective after 70 days. Unfortunately, the mods deleted the post containing that falsehood, or I would quoted it here. I'm not sure I used that exact language but can you really not debate this issue without throwing around language like "falsehood"? It all turns on how your interpret "ineffective" and has nothing to do with falsehoods. Let's take as an example a healthy 25 year old who has had two doses of an mrna vaccine and subsequently got an asymptomatic omicron infection. They now have very high protection from infection for at least 6 months and their chances of developing serious disease are now extremly low. So in what sense would a booster be "effective" for that individual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 8 hours ago, heybruce said: Yours is an early study based on preliminary data. For something more current: "Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. More than 657 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through December 7, 2022. During this time, VAERS received 17,868 preliminary reports of death (0.0027%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html Keep in mind that the 0.0027% death reports (death reported but not necessarily caused by the vaccination) represent about 3 deaths per 100,000 people vaccinated. The death rate from Covid infections is over 1% (one million dead and 99 million infections). https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home Nothing in life is without risk, however since you are more than 300 time more likely to die from a Covid infection than from the vaccination, vaccinations are clearly the smart choice. 1 hour ago, edwardandtubs said: Seroprevalence data shows a lot more than 99 million infections in the US and the recorded deaths are mostly among people with comorbidities. But it's not just deaths that need to be investigated. I'd rather not be hospitalized with myocarditis as a result of a booster that has not been shown to have any benefits for people in my age group or health status. 19 minutes ago, edwardandtubs said: Not speculation, I just thought you had the ability to research the numbers for yourself but clearly not so here they are: 'By November 9, 2022, 94% (95% CrI, 79%-99%) of the US population were estimated to have been infected by SARS-CoV-2 at least once.' https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.19.22282525v3 How do any of your deflections change the fact that real world data show that the risk of going unvaccinated greatly outweighs the risk of vaccination? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post candide Posted December 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2022 3 hours ago, dotcalm said: There’s a remarkable concession appearing in The Washington Post: “a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.” The latest data shows that 58% of COVID-19 deaths in August 2022 were from people who were vaccinated or boosted. Based on past figures and the current trends, we can reasonably estimate that the number of vaccinated/boosted COVID-19 deaths will only rise. (In September 2021, the vaccinated accounted for 23% of COVID-19 deaths; in January/February 2022, the vaccinated were 42%.) This is what happens when you rush ineffective and dangerous vaccines. And there is a good explanation for that: the share of vaccinated people. - 80% of population is vaccinated, 58% of deaths, ratio 0.725 - 20% not vaccinated, 42% of deaths, ratio 2.1 So the death ratio is 3 times lower for vaccinated people. Capicce? Not to mention that people with comorbidities and old people, which are most at risk, are usually vaccinated. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pomchop Posted December 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2022 Wow. Just Wow. It is truly amazing to me that there are obviously people that actually believe that the covid vaccines in their mind were not effective in preventing more serious cases and deaths. How far down the rabbit hole do MAGA's have to go on the deep web to find some obscure half baked conspiracy theory to support such a ridiculous claim. How about you ask the doctors and nurses who actually had to treat and deal with the people who showed up in hospitals with covid on death's doorstep if most of these were UNVAXXED? Does anyone seriously believe that the unvaxxed did not get sicker and die at a greater rate of covid than those that were fully vaxxed and boosted? WOW. How many of these people still believe that the election was stolen also? Evidence? We got no evidence just a lot of theories. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a peer reviewed study that shows infection-induced seroprevalence was 58% in February 2022: Quote Analyses of 1,469,792 serum specimens revealed U.S. infection-induced SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence increased from 8.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.9%–8.1%) in November 2020 to 58.2% (CI: 57.4%–58.9%) in February 2022. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanam/article/PIIS2667-193X(22)00220-4/fulltext Notice, we're talking here about infection-induced seroprevalence, not vaccine-induced. So we know it increased from 8% to 58% from November 2020 to February 2022.

The Lancet study shows 58% infection induced to Feb 2022 agreed. The preprint you linked to shows data to to Nov 2022 however includes also vaccine induced immunity, you know the one you said I should remember about: "Design, setting, participants: Bayesian evidence synthesis of reported COVID-19 data (diagnoses, hospitalizations), vaccinations, and waning patterns for vaccine- and infection-acquired immunity, using a mathematical model of COVID-19 natural history."
