Vaccine Safety And Effectiveness
Today Karl Denninger cites a study regarding the much hyped flu vaccine. Note that this is a very big study:
The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination. However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons. The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.
NO EVIDENCE.
The shots don't actually work and the claims that they reduce severe disease and death were disproved.
How many people have told you (or others, especially seniors) to go get a flu shot because while it might not stop you from getting the flu it will stop you from going to the hospital with it or dying from it?
Everyone.
Every year.
All the "Departments of Health", the CDC, your doctor, billboards all over the place, etc.
It has always been a lie and still is.
KD freely admits that the flu shot appears to be basically safe. But it doesn’t work, so what’s the point? Safe, Not Effective. Medically speaking, that is. But how about the effect on insurance and, more generally, the economy? he asks. And a further question arises. Is the ineffectiveness of the flu shot some big secret? No, but scan the search results for the various coy ways in which that known ineffectiveness is framed, and how the responsibility is pushed off on someone who can’t be sued:
Larry Johnson’s blog has a guest article of related interest—the Covid injections. I followed the author and I’ll link to the original, which includes the footnotes:
Stuff you don’t need to know
It’s a really fascinating article because it delves into the experience of a prominent cardiologist who had a previous reputation for critical thinking and a refusal to accept the conventional wisdom when the facts pointed elsewhere. He started out advocating for the Covid injections. His awakening came when his father died of a heart attack after getting shot up with the mRNA injection—and the autopsy contradicted everything he knew about his fathers health before he was injected. So do read it all. In the meantime, here are two key excerpts:
What he discovered was, so to speak, forbidden knowledge.
The first thing Malhotra learned was that mRNA vaccines were rather ineffective.
Not effective
To gauge effectiveness, we’d need to know how many people we’d have to vaccinate to prevent one death: in the jargon, the number needed to treat (NNT). Well, if you segment the vaccinated population by age, based on UK figures,5 you might find something like this [“avoided” = Deaths Avoided]:
What leaps off the page here is that the mRNA mass vaccination programme has been quite ineffective, except maybe for those over 70 — which implies that a more targeted campaign, focused on the over-70s, might have been a prudent strategy.
Of course, as Malholtra has pointed out, jabbing whole populations to save a few lives with poorly performing vaccines might be justifiable if the vaccines were no more harmful than they were ineffective. But that’s not the case.
How to find out whether these rather ineffective injections are, nevertheless, safe?
A group of doctors did a study and found that vaccinated subjects in the trials exhibited a 1‑in-800 greater risk of serious side effects compared those in the placebo group. (Fraiman J, Erviti J, Jones M, et al. Serious adverse events of special interest following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in randomized trials in adults. Vaccine. 2022 Aug 30:S0264-410X(22)01028 – 3.)
When they say “serious side effects” what they mean is:
well-defined events that ended in death, or were life-threatening when they occurred, or required hospital treatment, or a longer stint in hospital for those already there, or significant disabilities, or birth defects or other “medically important events”.
Those are called: “adverse events of special interest”(AESI)
So the trick is to plug into our table and generate a new table (I’m doing this online so I can embed an image). If you get an AESI value over 1 (death avoided) that’s bad—it means your harming more people than you’re saving:
As you can see — as plain as a pikestaff — for groups under the age of 70, vaccination racks up more people suffering AESIs (including deaths) than deaths avoided by vaccination. This phenomenon is pronounced for those under 60 and wildly off the scale for those below 40.
This is knowledge that’s not going to simply go away. Who will step up and take responsibility? Who’s avoiding the difficult questions?
Well, I didn't take the Covid jab. The last flu shot I had was at least 13 years ago. Somehow, I'm still fogging a mirror. Of course, I could get hit by a truck tomorrow but that isn't likely since most of my time is spent gardening and doing other outdoor work. But I do wonder how those who put their trust in the untrustworthy and succumbed to the coercive tactics employed against them are doing mentally. Especially when they are seeing these young athletes dropping like flies as has never been seen before; and without any sense of alarm of these abnormal medical oddities being raised in the media.
If true, disturbing:
25% death rate in one elder care facility after vaccination.
