Pfizer and BioNTech announced on Thursday that a booster shot of their coronavirus vaccine restores full protection against COVID-19.

The companies said that a late-stage clinical trial found that the booster was 95.6 percent effective against symptomatic COVID-19. 

The efficacy results are the first from any randomized, controlled trial of a COVID-19 booster, they said. 

The trial followed 10,000 individuals ages 16 and older who were given either a booster dose or placebo on average 11 months after completing the initial two doses of the vaccine.

During the study period, only five cases of COVID-19 were seen in the booster group, while 109 were seen in those who had not been given the booster. 

 

Imagine being injected with the placebo and then dying of the virus. You'd be fucking furious!

At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. 

How is that even possible? If you look at death numbers in Europe, correlation seems almost absolute. It is not only "discernable", it stares you in the face.

I suspect the devil is in the detail.

 

EDIT: This is cases. Countries with high vaccination levels probably have (rightly) quite a lot of people who are overly scared of Covid and are acting in line with that.

Get your shots.

Some tory cunt was ripping into 'highly paid'doctors on radio 4 before for spreading panic.

A Tory ripping into a profession who literally save lives on a daily basis  

The people of this country need their fucking heads testing.

I've noticed in the last few days there have been more 'the NHS let me down' type stories appearing on various media sources. Now that they think they're on the arse end of the pandemic they can get on with privatising the health service fully.

 

Anything for a few lousy bob!

Didn't an MP spread fuel panic buying? They're just nasty.

The word is overused these days but this particular Tory administration specialise in gasslighting.

 

Basically they're thick as fuck, I mean genuinely thick as fuck, the likes of Raab and Patel especially, they're stellar overachievers, and if you've ever dealt with anyone like that in a job you'll know they specialise in deflecting blame.

 

They're constantly terrified of losing what they've got, and rather than excel they get by by undermining others, ganging up with other simpletons and never, ever, accepting the blame. It's an absolute snake pit up there.

 

It will never be their fault, there will always be a scapegoat. The migrant, the French navy, the lorry drivers union, the BMA, the teachers. It'll never be them.
