Canadian study says new COVID vaccine cuts risk of illness in uninfected by almost half

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

 

 

The fall COVID-19 vaccine cut the risk of COVID-19 illness by about half for people who’d never caught the virus before, and by 67 per cent for those with a previous infection, according to new research from the Canadian network that has long tracked the performance of the annual flu shot.

 

This is the first time the Canadian Sentinel Practitioner Surveillance Network, which is comprised of hundreds of primary care providers in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, produced mid-season estimates of the effectiveness of immunization against COVID-19.

 

For people with hybrid immunity against COVID-19 – meaning they’ve had a jab and an infection – the shot targeting the Omicron XBB.1.5 variant performed slightly better against COVID-19 than the flu shot did against influenza.

"The updated autumn 2023 monovalent XBB.1.5 vaccine protected comparably well, reducing the risk of medically attended COVID-19 by about half overall, and by about two-thirds among previously infected individuals. Ongoing VE monitoring with increased time since vaccination and evolution in variant contribution is warranted."

I want the names of all the researchers and their research history.

And, I want to know who pay them and who financed the research.

 

Then we can talk

I am sure you will ask the same from Thai government

It seems that the Covid virus is evolving to emulate the flu virus. So, vaccination for both provides some, but not full, immunity.

 

And, not enough people are vaccinated to stop the virus from spreading. So, we will continue to see people dying from Covid, albeit in smaller numbers, comparable to the flu.

Most people play the odds. If you hear of a slot machine in a casino that pays a few percent more than the other machines, that's where you play.

 

If a vaccine gives you 50% better protection against a common disease, you take it.

 

Unless you are anti-vax, then no amount of protection is sufficient.

Ever heard of the Risk-Reward assessment that you (or your doctor) should do before taking the shot?

The jabs are anything but 'all Reward, no Risks' like the MSM want you to believe...

I have good news for you! Just click through the study and you will get the names of all the researchers. With these you can also look at their research history in arxiv. But wait! It get's better! They even disclose who paid them and who financed the research!

 

Fantastic, I know!
