    Because covid is 1000 times more lethal for older people, and older people are more likely to be vaccinated. If that doesn't make it clear for you, then perhaps you are unequipped to have an informed position on this topic. If you read studies in social sciences or public health, you would know that there are often many confounding variables that have to be accounted for to have a valid study.

    Pfizer is about 90% effective, against the original strain. More evasive strains now predominate, and the vaccine does reduce mortality and to a lesser extent transmission of those, but not 90%.

    Well, maybe, instead of marketing and pushing a vaccine against an aged strain, they should have developed a new one for delta.

    They Reduce mortality!?- How are they going to do that ? - For according to the
    DATA I have provided YOU the Vaccines efficacy has all but disappeared, and full 85%
    of the people catching COVID and dying are Vaccinated !

    So COVID is 1000 times more lethal for Older people. That in NO WAY explains
    ... the unfortunate FACT that the Vaccines are failing, and in Scotland at least,
    ................... the same proportion of people who are Vaccinated are getting COVID
    ......................................................................................... as those who are Unvaccinated.

    And it does not explain all the broken promises and the alarming rate at which these
    Sketchy Vaccines fail and/or loose their efficacy. Yet YOUR Puppet Masters keep
    insisting that everybody keep getting Multiple Booster Shots, with these here - Proven
    failed EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS
    and that they be Mandated and forced upon anybody
    who does not want to partake of this failed EXPERIMENT. Even as more and more
    Science begins to question and explore the DANGERS and TOXICITIES of these
    ................................................................................................ still EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS
    And may I suggest that YOU check whatever pudding it is that YOU use for YOUR
    own cognitive equipment
    before YOU deem YOUR adversary Unworthy to question
    ............................................................................................... YOUR own deformed position

    As you insist on conflating the Danger that COVID presents to the Elderly with
    the bloated numbers of Vaccinated people who are catching COVID

    E
    ither the Vaccines Work or they do not Work, Which is IT ? - DEAL WITH IT !

    Lol... oh man. Let me walk you through this. Say there are two groups of 10,000 people in a country that represent their age group. 10,000 at age 20, and 10,000 at age 80. Let's suppose the vaccine reduces death 4-fold.

    The 20 year olds, only 10% of them get vaccinated. While the 80 year olds, 90% get vaccinated.

    Let's say all of them are exposed to covid.

    Baseline death for 20 year olds: 1 death in 10000 cases.
    Baseline death for 80 year olds; 1 death in 10.

    In this scenario, there is 0.925 deaths in the 20 year old group, rounded to 1. This is unvaccinated.

    The 10% of unvaccinated 80 year olds have 100 deaths. (1000 persons by 10% risk)

    The 90% of vaccinated 80 year olds have 225 deaths (9000 persons by 10%/4 risk).

    So in this scenario even with a 4 fold protection factor, there are over twice as many vaccinated deaths as unvaccinated. In the real world, there aren't as many 80 year olds as 20 year olds (which would explain why it's 85% vaccinated deaths). But hopefully this at least shows how the vaccine can be effective and more vaccinated can still die, so one must control for age to see the effectiveness.

    Nope was just trying to help you understand the basics of public health statistics since you showed an interest in the topic, but you seem uninterested in learning, just want to keep spouting conspiracy theories.

    Omicron spreads mostly among vaccinated

    Of course. The reason is that most people are vaccinated. I repeat for the umpteenth time that vaccines do not prevent infections. They motivate the production of antibodies that fight the infection after it has arrived.

    They work very well just as intended. They cause a reduction in the severity of symptoms. It is what all vaccines help the immune system do. You are welcome to reject vaccine but you can't reject the science.

    & I have no problem in REJECTING whatever it is that YOU are calling science here.
    A
    s it proves itself bogus to the very definition of Science. It seems totally unable to
    confront uncomfortable and unavoidable
    FACTs, which Real Science has no trouble
    dealing with.--
    We watch aghast as whatever it is that YOU call science keeps having
    to change its -
    Rules & Definitions -in order to preserve a false narrative that is fast
    ....................................................................................................... decomposing before our eyes.

    They were Intended and Purported to work with a 97 to 98% efficacy. THEY DO NOT !
    1 or 2 doses were said to be sufficient. - NOW we are looking at multiple doses before
    WE may be able to bear the "Fully Vaccinated" moniker and thus be allowed to partake
    in Society. - These "Vaccines", (and I use the word lightly) - where said to prevent both the
    Disease and its Transmission. NOW we are told they do neither, and simply mitigate
    ...................................................................................... some of the more serious Symptoms.


    Whatever it is that YOU are calling Science here is a false and discredited narrative,
    wrought with the contradictions and discrepancies of constantly changing Goal-Posts.
    ................. Changes that must be made in order to force, the square peg of their LIE
    ...t...................................................................................he the round hole of the revealed Facts

    To continue to Parrot & Puppet the word Science in defense of a totally discredited
    .......................... EXPERIMENT, only further EXPOSES the weakness of YOUR case.

    Quickly, the vaccines we are administering were produced for the original virus. The original virus has been replaced by a couple of mutated strains. They are still effective witth the new strains but less so. Normal and expected. The boosters are there to help make up the difference in the "efficacy" of the vaccines. Normal and expected. As I said, you are entitled to reject the vaccines. I don't care at all. I just try to correct misinformaltion. This post is not for you. It is for those reading the thread.

    Vaccines are supposed to prevent infections. Perhaps, instead of wondering why a “vaccine” has only a few weeks of real protection, you just chose to attack those that do in order to cover up your own fear of the unknown consequences from the jab you faithfully took because it’s pretty obvious that what we were told 1 year ago and what we are told now about the efficacy of these vaccines are completely different things?

    Incorrect. Vaccines are not supposed to prevent infection. They are supposed to motivate the development of antibodies that deal with the infection. There is no way they can prevent an infection. The antibodies have nothing to do until after the infection has arrived. The vaccines have been in use for about a year. They are still doing their job with reduced efficacy because of the arrival of new mutated strains. There is still value in receiving the available vaccines. The only thing I have attacked is misinformation just like I did with this post.

    Efficacy and effectiveness, two different meanings.....

    Clinical Trials; Efficacy

    When Alpha, Delta, and then Omicron became the dominant strains; Effectiveness

    By the time we started administering the “Original Covid” vaccines, the virus had already mutated to Alpha, B.1.1.7., and prior/during the clinical trials, we were told Covid19 MAY end up mutating.

    What I didn’t know/most people didn’t know; A various Variant can significantly evade immune responses induced by natural infection or vaccination.

    Still, the Original Covid vaccines have been highly effective at reducing Alpha/Delta’s severity.

    Question; Who keeps chanting “We were told the vaccines were infection proof”?

    Answer; Whiners and complainers, thus, mainly anti-vaxxers.

    No.
    The narrative changed from the need to “protect vaccinated from unvaccinated” to vaccines prevent the worst symptoms.
    That change happened in a short time span, from July till now.
    The vaccines do prevent infections. You redefining what the vaccines are supposed to do will backfire with people resisting other vaccines, as any parent will start asking - why should I give my kid anti-tuberculosis vaccine if it only prevents the worst symptoms?
    Every adult in this forum must remember that just a year ago we all knew that vaccines prevent infection and spread of the pathogen. When a whole bunch of people start to insist that everyone’s basic knowledge that was acquired from childhood is false then that group of people starts to look like loons.

    Questions and answers

    Q; Can I get seasonal flu even thou I got a flu vaccine this year?

    A;

    1. You may be exposed to a flu virus shortly before getting vaccinated or during the period that it takes the body to gain protection after getting vaccinated

    2. You may be exposed to a flu virus that is not included in the seasonal flu vaccine

    3. Unfortunately, some people can become infected with a flu virus a flu vaccine is designed to protect against despite getting vaccinated......depending on health and age factors of the person getting vaccinated

    Q; What protection does a flu vaccine if I do get sick with flu?

    A; Some people who get vaccinated may still get with flu. However, flu vaccination has been shown in some studies to reduce the severity of illness in people who get vaccinated but still get sick.


    NOTE; Basically, same questions and answers for Covid19’s original strain vaccines, and Alpha/Beta/Omicron changed the effectiveness of the original strain vaccines.

    yep, and from Trump the narrative changed from 15 going on zero, to will go away soon, to will go away when the weather warms up, too.......

    the vaccine tries to teach your body to fight off the virus when you DO get it, nothing else - it's not a condom

    after you get the vaccine, how well your immune system fights off the virus is up to your immune system

    most of us learned this in grade school, surprised so many are confused by it now

    What does Trump have to do with this issue?

    A vaccine prevents infection when the pathogen is prevented from entering your cell, or when it’s prevented from reproducing. Neutralizing antibodies remove the pathogen by binding to it, or your T cells kill infected cells before they release new copies of the virus.
    I don’t know what school you went to, but vaccines do prevent infections.

    Great!
    CDC also does not believe in a commonly known scientific fact that women exist. They don’t represent science.

    Trump is part of the history of Covid, it did not just start the day Biden took office

    did you really forget how the Trump admin played it down at first?

    Since the beginning of the pandemic, how many times science was misrepresented in this forum?

    In addition, our experts and leaders have also been wrong, and more than once.

    Question; What was Trump’s response soon after CDC Nancier Mesonnier publicity declared that Covid outbreaks in the U.S. were inevitable? Was she representing science, or just spreading fear “in an effort to sabotage Trump’s economy”

    People who are vaccinated are taking the other aspects for granted----masking and social distancing. No surprise really that the more readily spread omicron virus is chewing through the vaccine walls. I am triple jabbed and am now quarantining due to an idiotic coworker who showed up to a Christmas dinner with an active COVID infection w/ symptoms. Nobody is forcing me to quarantine. It is just the prudent thing to do until I can be tested.

    I thought we were talking about the drift of the view of what a vaccine does? Did Trump change the definition? Or did he cast some kind of a curse on an mRNA vaccine technology?
    But, I guess, how did trump play it down and how did that impact the fact that the mRNA vaccine seems to contradict some of the definitions of what a vaccine does?

    I don’t know, but you are one of them with your fluid definition of what a vaccine is supposed to do.

    Yes, that’s been a common occurrence lately.

    I don’t know/remember what she said, nor do I care. But when I see the CDC replacing the word woman with “menstruating person”, I kind of find it funny that someone tells me I should listen to their definitions of what vaccines supposed to do instead of rely on knowledge that I acquired since childhood.
    I literally gave you a description of how vaccines are supposed to prevent infection and all you have is Trump? :roflol:
