We dont know exactly, but probably not. That's wrong. The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%. Those are the numbers for avoiding serious disease, not for getting infected. That's wrong. The effectiveness was measured by people being diagnosed as having Covid, not for having serious disease. If the test subjects came down with Covid symptoms they were examined by doctors and tested for Covid. They did not have to present with "serious disease" to be counted, only symptomatic Covid. |

You really are Qanon/Alex Jones nuts. Incredible that you'd ask what's wrong with all that BS after it's all been explained to you here many times now, point by point. So listen to Alex Jones, don't get vaccinated, it's worthless. Don't protect yourself, don't help the rest of humanity by stamping this out before it mutates more into something far worse. We'll see how that works out for you. And in the meantime don't claim to us that you're not another anti-vax nut. |

If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to get sent to the Intensive Care Unit? Yes. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to die? Yes. 100,000 times more likely. Probably a million times. If I don't get vaccinated and I don't die, am I more likely to have new long-term health problems? Yes. As much as a 33% chance of that. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to make my family and friends sick? Yes. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to send some of my family and friends to the hospital? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to send some of my family and friends to the ICU? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to kill some of my family and friends? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. You missed the point Fauci and his gang said. The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so you are not protecting others. That one is worth ripping apart again, it's your typical 1+1 = 7 BS. Following your faulty logic, because we don't know if a train is coming today, there is no train coming today. And it's even worse than that because the scientists have stated many times now that while they do not have specific data on this, from the experiences with other vaccines and their knowledge of Covid, they believe it is highly likely that it does prevent transmission. It's like train experts saying that based on everything they know they believe it's highly likely that a train is coming today and you using that to conclude that no train is coming. You're a never ending fountain of FUD and anti-vax BS. Cindy just said this about it protecting you. "The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%." Since the survival rate of unvaccinated people is 99.7% or so those numbers are somewhat un reassuring. 1 + 1 = 7 Now you're conflating effectiveness with survival rate. Effectiveness is measured by not having Covid symptoms, not being diagnosed with Covid. The percentage of vaccinated people who die from Covid is vanishingly small. And IDK where you got the death rate of people with Covid being 0.3%. The number is more like 2.7% of the closed cases. There are undiagnosed cases that will bring that down, but I seriously doubt it's by an order of magnitude. What does Alex Jones tell you? I am doing the Pfizer Sunday but mostly because it was free and easy. So add flaming hypocrite to the list. I am not convinced it is going to improve my life much if I still need to wear a mask and avoid seeing people according to the government. I am only lucky that my state is not run by the Branch Covidian cult and we can get out and do things if we want. The results still have us in the middle of the pack in spite of a very high median age, lots of outsiders coming and going and nothing really closed. States like California struggle to explain it and CNN is just gobsmacked by it. Maybe your dumb luck will run out. |

That last is your bare faced lie. The govt never said that. That's for sure. Everyone but liars and dumbbells say that even the least good of the vaccines makes one resistant. Not 100%, but "resistance" doesn't even imply 100%, so "resistant" is still accurate. Q: If I get vaccinated, at least I wont be contagious to others €“ right? Government: NO. the vaccine doesnt stop transmission. Government never said that either. At most they said, We don't know. Since then there is a lot of evidence for Pfizer that it does. Corse it does if it stops you getting infected. Rest omitted. I've spent more time than it's worth arguing with this dummy. What is it that makes some people so stupid? I really don't get it. Did they get D's and F's in school? Are they on drugs or liquor? Did they go without oxygen in the birth canal? Were they abused as children? Do they only watch stupid TV and read stupid websites. I know the latter is part of it, but how can they be so stupid they discount everything else they read and sometimes they at least read the answers they get here. I would suspect that a lot of it originates with Putin intel ops that create, spread and amplify the lies and BS to destroy the USA. It doesn't have to be very convincing to get dummies and whackos to fall for it. |

You are comparing apples to oranges. You cannot extrapolate from the death rate of those who have so far had the virus to the entire population, the majority of which have not contracted the virus. So your 99.7% number is meaningless, wrong and dangerous. +1 AFAIK, the 99.7% number is BS to begin with. Over 2% of those diagnosed with Covid have died. There are undiagnosed cases that will bring that down, but I think his 0.3% number is highly suspect and probably came from the usual place. Note that the survival rate for all vaccines is 100%, as even if one does get the virus after vaccination, the symptoms are significantly milder, if even detectable. IDK if it's 100%, but it does appear to be a couple orders of magnitude better than without being vaccinated. Which of course is fantastic for any reasonable, intelligent persons. But the nothing would be good enough for the anti-vax, conspiracy nuts. |

They were tested on about 50K people, went through full phase 3 testing. and are approved for emergency use only, We are in an emergency, with 550K Americans dead, the economy screwed, you know. and I develop problems from it a year or more from now will YOU accept financial liability for that? The vaccine manufacturers are shielded from liability, so having held yourself out as a medical expert and advised me to take part in this medical experiment, will YOU step up to the plate if I am harmed? I don't see Micky claiming to be a medical expert, only citing what medical experts have said. If you're suggesting that the govt should have created a compensation fund specifically for the Covid vaccine, that's probably a good idea. Why didn't Trump or the big mouth GOP anti-maskers, anti-vaxers do that, they had 9 months? |

Why must that be the standard in the midst of a pandemic, with 550K dead so far, in just one year? and will he get away from the hysteria before then? You should be focused on getting away from your hysteria. At a certain point we need the information to take a calculated risk and isn't life just a series of calculated risks anyway? We have a lot of good information right now. The sad thing is that there are a lot of people that won't accept it or worse, totally twist it, misrepresent it, turn it into FUD. Mostly Trumpets of course. Something like 40% of Republicans say they won't get the vaccine, more like 50% among people who supported Trump. That's a very good example why your claim that Trump is gone, he doesn't matter anymore, there is no damage still with us, etc is baloney. We are quickly reaching the point that driving to the restaurant is more dangerous than going in, mask or not. The question Paul asked is, if your are vaccinated, why aren't you safe and it is a good question. If not, why get the shot? I'm with Jim, what's the point in engaging with you when it's all been explained to you ten times already, but you still come back, posing the same questions all over again. |

If Fauci had said that Paul would not have had much more to say Did Rand Paul ask that specific question? You know how this works, right? Senators ask the questions, the person appearing answers them. People appearing also figure that Senators, especially ones that are doctors, should be at least as well informed already as the public. When it comes to Rand Paul, I guess that was a mistake. Either he's willfully ignorant or trying to twist, distort and BS around, which, IMO, is the more likely problem. Why are we still running scared even after vaccination? IDK, because people like you, Alex Jones, Qanon and Rand Paul are spreading FUD? And who exactly is running scared? I'm not scared. |

I remember when the jerk was running for president. At one of the debates the issue of what to do about Iran developing nuclear weapons came up. Rand Paul said it's their right to go ahead and develop one. By the time he was done answering, it sounded like he thought it would be a good idea to help them do it or just give them some. He's cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Must be in the family genes, his father was half nuts too, but this one is worse. |

You missed the point Fauci and his gang said. The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so you are not protecting others. You have a pretty obvious mistake here. All you can say is, "The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so IT IS NOT PROVEN THAT you are protecting others." I don't have to explain why this sentence is correct, right? Further, there is quite a bit of evidence from israel that Pfizer does reduce transmission, and Moderna is basically the same as Pfizer, so that's another mistake. Cindy just said this about it protecting you. "The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%." Since the survival rate of unvaccinated people is 99.7% or so those numbers are somewhat un reassuring. Scott is right. If you're comparing 94.1, 95, and 99.7, you shouldn't be. They represent two different things that are independent of each other. I am doing the Pfizer Sunday but mostly because it was free and easy. I am not convinced it is going to improve my life much if I still need to wear a mask and avoid seeing people according to the government. That's the thing so many people don't appreciate. You're not sick now and if you don't get sick in the next 2 years, you probably won't know -- I don't know how you could know -- if it's because you didn't meet anyone with Corona, you did but you wouldn't have caught it from him anyhow, or you would have caught it but the vaccine saved you. But be assured, I don't know what all the percentage are but if you were not vaccinated and you are not a hermit (and especially if everyone else wasn't vaccinated but even if 50% or 90% of the people were) there is good chance you would catch the virus, and if you did, a 10% chance you would end up in the hospital, and 1) a 10% chance within that you would end up in the ICU, and I'm guessing a more than 50% chance within that that you would end up dead. and 2) a 33% chance you'd have long-term sequelae**, serious medical problems. But becaue the vaccine has a 95% chance that it would save you from all of that, if you're not convinced now, and you don't believe what researchers says, there will be nothing in particular to convince you in the future. Many things, including I'm sure many things you believe, can only be proven by statistically. But people pick certain things to not believe statistics for. And lets say 300 million Americans got the vaccine, and it's 5% in-effective. That's 15 million people, and some percentage of them may meet someone contagious, and he may end up sick, and instead of a 10% chance he'd end up in the hospital, maybe there's a 1% chance he would (and a 0% chance he'd end up in the ICU), but when some anti-vaxer finds one of these people, and there are likely to be 10 or 100 or 100's out of 300 million, they will announce that the vaccine didn't do anything, that the virus faded away on its own, like some do. Even though it didn't. Most of the people who don't like this vaccine still took all the other vaccines, and still gave them to their children. The odds that measles would seriuosly injure a child was always very low -- I had measles. My parents weren't worried, afaik -- but the measles vaccine made it near zero. The same people who don't like these vaccines still gave their children the measles vaccine. When polio was at its worst, the odds were still slim that any given child (or adult) would get polio, but if you got it, it was terrible, sometimes fatal, sometimes lifetime paralysis, so just about everyone rushed to get it, even though they would probably would never have gotten polio anyhow. Other diseases were the same. So why is this time different. I can think of only one reason. Only in the age of trump and several other mostly Republican idiots has medicine and statistics been overridden for some by idolatry (of trump) and partisanship. If we'd had any other president including even** Ted Cruz, we would have lost 200 or 300,000 dead, let's exaggerate and say 400,000, but not 550,000 and climbing. Yesterday or the day before trump said it's a good vaccine and people should get it, and he said something almost as "strong" at CPAC, but has it said it strong enough or in a video PSA to change any minds? Has he insisted enough to make up for months of denying it, for the time he claimed a little girl got ?? some dreaded illness from the vaccine? Had he not denied how serious Corona was and had he belittled the doctors or the vaccine, we would not have 50 million people or more who don't want the vaccine, who will make a pool for the virus to continue to live, to mutate, and maybe infect and kill people whose vaccine was not built on the mutation, and for which it doens't work. And now because you like trump, my previous paragraph will have undone all the good that my words before it did, and you'll decide that any sense I seemed to make in the first 80% of this past is nonsense because I remind you that trump thinks*** the disease is a hoax, and has minimized it from the start, including even his weak endorsement yesterday (more than two months after he and Melania got vaccinated but didn't tell anyone). **I only save "even" because Ted Cruz was the second-worst Republican candidate, not because he wouldn't have whole heartedly opposed Corona. ***So he says. **Never had a chance to use that word before. I hope you are all impressed. When you're right, you're right. It was Trump who turned this pandemic into another nasty, divisive, **** show. Instead of uniting Americans together against an enemy, he used it for his own partisan, divisive political purposes. He made even a simple mask a terribly divisive, partisan issue, he dissed them, mocked people wearing them, refused to wear one, even got himself and those around him infected. He held death maskless, no social distancing death rallies to try to get re-elected. Fretwell will tell you that you're suffering from TDS, but the truth is that this is just one great example of the damage that Trump has inflicted on this country and that it's still ongoing. Sadly Fretwell is doing the same, misreprenting Covid facts, spreading FUD that puts us further behind in the battle to save lives and stop Covid. |

If you are vaccinated, the chance of serious illness or death is much reduced. It's a calculated risk. I get my first dose of Moderna today. Cindy Hamilton I had my second M ten days ago. First shot I had a very sore arm for two days. Second one, I was expecting it to be worse. Instead I had a minor sore arm for one day. A friend who's 76 got his, he didn't even have a sore arm. |

Will they ever know enough to say it is 100% safe and will he get away from the hysteria before then? Nothing is 100% safe. My last tetanus booster was not 100% safe. At a certain point we need the information to take a calculated risk and isn't life just a series of calculated risks anyway? We are quickly reaching the point that driving to the restaurant is more dangerous than going in, mask or not. The question Paul asked is, if your are vaccinated, why aren't you safe and it is a good question. If not, why get the shot? If you are vaccinated, the chance of serious illness or death is much reduced. It's a calculated risk. I get my first dose of Moderna today. Cindy Hamilton I had my second M ten days ago. First shot I had a very sore arm for two days. Second one, I was expecting it to be worse. Instead I had a minor sore arm for one day. A friend who's 76 got his, he didn't even have a sore arm. Good to know. My husband has had his first dose of Pfizer and reported mild all-over itching with roving areas of more serious itching. Cindy Hamilton |

You cannot extrapolate from the death rate of those who have so far had the virus to the entire population, the majority of which have not contracted the virus. So your 99.7% number is meaningless, wrong and dangerous. +1 AFAIK, the 99.7% number is BS to begin with. Over 2% of those diagnosed with Covid Yes. I didn't even notice that. All I noticed is that that number and the other two are mostly unrelated. I guess, because I read Scott's answer first and he pointed that out. But, yes, about 2% have died. Compared to the number that die from the flu which is iirc 0.1%. And compared to the number given, 0.3%, it's more than 6 times as many as that number. have died. There are undiagnosed cases that will bring that down, but I think his 0.3% number is highly suspect and probably came from the usual place. Note that the survival rate for all vaccines is 100%, as even if one does get the virus after vaccination, the symptoms are significantly milder, if even detectable. IDK if it's 100%, but it does appear to be a couple orders of magnitude better than without being vaccinated. Which of course is fantastic for any reasonable, intelligent persons. But the nothing would be good enough for the anti-vax, conspiracy nuts. |

Government: Maybe. We dont know exactly, but probably not. That last is your bare faced lie. The govt never said that. That's for sure. Everyone but liars and dumbbells say that even the least good of the vaccines makes one resistant. Not 100%, but "resistance" doesn't even imply 100%, so "resistant" is still accurate. Q: If I get vaccinated, at least I wont be contagious to others €“ right? Government: NO. the vaccine doesnt stop transmission. Government never said that either. At most they said, We don't know. Since then there is a lot of evidence for Pfizer that it does. Corse it does if it stops you getting infected. Rest omitted. I've spent more time than it's worth arguing with this dummy. What is it that makes some people so stupid? I really don't get it. Did they get D's and F's in school? Are they on drugs or liquor? Did they go without oxygen in the birth canal? Were they abused as children? Do they only watch stupid TV and read stupid websites. I know the latter is part of it, but how can they be so stupid they discount everything else they read and sometimes they at least read the answers they get here. I would suspect that a lot of it originates with Putin intel ops that create, spread and amplify the lies and BS to destroy the USA. More fool you. That doesnt explain the other nutty stuff like the claim that the moon landing was faked, that 911 was done by the US govt so they could control everyone, Area 15 etc etc etc. It doesn't have to be very convincing to get dummies and whackos to fall for it. Yes, but it isnt just Putin intel ops doing that. |

We have 500K dead from Covid in one year, Thats not his 'rapidly reaching' tho. we're adding to that at the rate of 1K+ per day And that amounts to at least 350K a year, so as always he doesnt have a ****ing clue. and Covid is now increasing again in 13 states. |

If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to get sent to the Intensive Care Unit? Yes. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to die? Yes. 100,000 times more likely. Probably a million times. If I don't get vaccinated and I don't die, am I more likely to have new long-term health problems? Yes. As much as a 33% chance of that. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to make my family and friends sick? Yes. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to send some of my family and friends to the hospital? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to send some of my family and friends to the ICU? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. If I don't get vaccinated, am I more likely to kill some of my family and friends? Yes. At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. You missed the point Fauci and his gang said. The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so you are not protecting others. You have a pretty obvious mistake here. All you can say is, "The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so IT IS NOT PROVEN THAT you are protecting others." I don't have to explain why this sentence is correct, right? Further, there is quite a bit of evidence from israel that Pfizer does reduce transmission, and Moderna is basically the same as Pfizer, so that's another mistake. Cindy just said this about it protecting you. "The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%." Since the survival rate of unvaccinated people is 99.7% or so those numbers are somewhat un reassuring. Scott is right. If you're comparing 94.1, 95, and 99.7, you shouldn't be. They represent two different things that are independent of each other. I am doing the Pfizer Sunday but mostly because it was free and easy. I am not convinced it is going to improve my life much if I still need to wear a mask and avoid seeing people according to the government. That's the thing so many people don't appreciate. You're not sick now and if you don't get sick in the next 2 years, you probably won't know -- I don't know how you could know -- if it's because you didn't meet anyone with Corona, you did but you wouldn't have caught it from him anyhow, or you would have caught it but the vaccine saved you. But be assured, I don't know what all the percentage are but if you were not vaccinated and you are not a hermit (and especially if everyone else wasn't vaccinated but even if 50% or 90% of the people were) there is good chance you would catch the virus, and if you did, a 10% chance you would end up in the hospital, and 1) a 10% chance within that you would end up in the ICU, and I'm guessing a more than 50% chance within that that you would end up dead. and 2) a 33% chance you'd have long-term sequelae**, serious medical problems. But becaue the vaccine has a 95% chance that it would save you from all of that, if you're not convinced now, and you don't believe what researchers says, there will be nothing in particular to convince you in the future. Many things, including I'm sure many things you believe, can only be proven by statistically. But people pick certain things to not believe statistics for. And lets say 300 million Americans got the vaccine, and it's 5% in-effective. That's 15 million people, and some percentage of them may meet someone contagious, and he may end up sick, and instead of a 10% chance he'd end up in the hospital, maybe there's a 1% chance he would (and a 0% chance he'd end up in the ICU), but when some anti-vaxer finds one of these people, and there are likely to be 10 or 100 or 100's out of 300 million, they will announce that the vaccine didn't do anything, that the virus faded away on its own, like some do. Even though it didn't. Most of the people who don't like this vaccine still took all the other vaccines, and still gave them to their children. The odds that measles would seriuosly injure a child was always very low -- I had measles. My parents weren't worried, afaik -- but the measles vaccine made it near zero. The same people who don't like these vaccines still gave their children the measles vaccine. When polio was at its worst, the odds were still slim that any given child (or adult) would get polio, but if you got it, it was terrible, sometimes fatal, sometimes lifetime paralysis, so just about everyone rushed to get it, even though they would probably would never have gotten polio anyhow. Other diseases were the same. So why is this time different. I can think of only one reason. Only in the age of trump and several other mostly Republican idiots has medicine and statistics been overridden for some by idolatry (of trump) and partisanship. If we'd had any other president including even** Ted Cruz, we would have lost 200 or 300,000 dead, let's exaggerate and say 400,000, but not 550,000 and climbing. Yesterday or the day before trump said it's a good vaccine and people should get it, and he said something almost as "strong" at CPAC, but has it said it strong enough or in a video PSA to change any minds? Has he insisted enough to make up for months of denying it, for the time he claimed a little girl got ?? some dreaded illness from the vaccine? Had he not denied how serious Corona was and had he belittled the doctors or the vaccine, we would not have 50 million people or more who don't want the vaccine, who will make a pool for the virus to continue to live, to mutate, and maybe infect and kill people whose vaccine was not built on the mutation, and for which it doens't work. And now because you like trump, my previous paragraph will have undone all the good that my words before it did, and you'll decide that any sense I seemed to make in the first 80% of this past is nonsense because I remind you that trump thinks*** the disease is a hoax, and has minimized it from the start, including even his weak endorsement yesterday (more than two months after he and Melania got vaccinated but didn't tell anyone). **I only save "even" because Ted Cruz was the second-worst Republican candidate, not because he wouldn't have whole heartedly opposed Corona. ***So he says. **Never had a chance to use that word before. I hope you are all impressed. When you're right, you're right. It was Trump who turned this pandemic into another nasty, divisive, **** show. Instead of uniting Americans together against an enemy, That was never going to be possible with this virus with fools like Muggles, jimmy, fretwell etc around. he used it for his own partisan, divisive political purposes. He made even a simple mask a terribly divisive, partisan issue, he dissed them, mocked people wearing them, refused to wear one, even got himself and those around him infected. He held death maskless, no social distancing death rallies to try to get re-elected. But has got vaccinated. Wonder how that happened. And is telling the trumpets to get vaccinated. Fretwell will tell you that you're suffering from TDS, but the truth is that this is just one great example of the damage that Trump has inflicted on this country and that it's still ongoing. Sadly Fretwell is doing the same, misreprenting Covid facts, spreading FUD that puts us further behind in the battle to save lives and stop Covid. Nope, because no one listens to him and he is getting vaccinated. |

So your 99.7% number is meaningless, wrong and dangerous. Note that the survival rate for all vaccines is 100%, as even if one does get the virus after vaccination, the symptoms are significantly milder, if even detectable. If Fauci had said that Paul would not have had much more to say Why are we still running scared even after vaccination? Because even the best vaccine is only 95% effective And that is at preventing severe disease. We don't yet know how effective they are at preventing infection tho that is being measured now. and it's still not known how much vaccinated people (not only don't get symptoms but) don't get infectious** so they can infect others. And that's even harder to measure. There's a lot of evidence that they resist even getting the infection, but they don't have good numbers yet, and unless the number was very high, unless 80 or 90% who don't get infectious, that is still enough to continue to spread the disease and infect whatever unvaccinated people there are, who risk ICU and death. And we don't yet know how effective the vaccines are against the worst of the more virulent strains tho it is known that the AZ isnt very effective at all against the south african variant in the RSA. And that's the sort of thing public health workers care about. And what we should all care about except in countrys like Australia and New Zealand which have the virus well under control and arent getting any community transmission at all now. The new cases are all with those entering the country. There must be web pages that discuss disease transmission of communicable diseases, which I think is the major aspect of epidemiology. Reading 5 or 10 screens about that could be enlightening. Not for him, it goes in one ear and straight out the other. He cant even get the death rate from the virus right, or even manage to work out that the death rate due to the virus is still TEN times the death rate due to car accidents. There is a lot of arithmetic in it I'm sure. Multiplication especially. Yeah, its surprisingly complicated, particularly when the bulk of the population has had the disease or has been vaccinated. **I'm using "infectious" because of an earlier misunderstanding we had here. One of us used "sick" to mean showing symptoms and the other used the word to also include infected. I think I was the second one and I never posted an even better example. If someone T has typhoid but no symptoms, but people can still catch typhoid from T and then die, is T not sick? I say T is sick, even without symptoms. Nope, just infectious. But it was also reasonable to use it to mean only people who have symptoms. That's what the meaning often is, sick meaning showing symptoms, like vomiting, fever, etc. Without that someone's not sick. Because these are two meanings of the same word. Not really. The first one is infectious, not sick. Typhoid Mary was infectious but not sick. |

It was ~95% effective in reducing the number diagnosed with Covid. Further, other studies, eg Israel have confirmed that. And if the metric is "serious Covid", then the effectiveness is even higher.. If the test subjects came down with Covid symptoms they were examined by doctors and tested for Covid. They did not have to present with "serious disease" to be counted, only symptomatic Covid. Wrong, as always. That may well be what your media has told you, but its just plain wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine#Efficacy Thanks for confirming that you don't know WTF you're talking about. From your own reference: "The effectiveness of a new vaccine is defined by its efficacy during clinical trials.[140] The efficacy is the risk of getting the disease by vaccinated participants in the trial compared with the risk of getting the disease by unvaccinated participants. In efficacy calculations, symptomatic COVID-19 is generally defined as having both a positive PCR test and at least one or two of a defined list of COVID-19 symptoms, although exact specifications varying between trials. " Exactly what I said. It doesn't say what you said, which is that it's measured by reduction in "serious cases". Further, if you look at the table, it says for the Moderna vaccine, if the metric is "serious disease", then the efficacy is close to 100%. Feel free to man up and admit you got it wrong, or continue to do what the losers do, lie and deny. |

Why didn't you tell us what part was wrong? I just saw Fauci tell Rand Paul all of those things the other day on C-Span. (that is live congress TV, not some opinion network). Must have watched a different episode. I saw Paul interrupting Fauci as he tried to explain the reason and the varients that may or may not be protected. Rand Paul just wanted to show off and be a bully. I saw Fauci telling us they don't know, over and over again about everything. Will they ever know enough to say it is 100% safe Cite for us the drugs that "they" say are 100% safe. Why must that be the standard in the midst of a pandemic, with 550K dead so far, in just one year? and will he get away from the hysteria before then? You should be focused on getting away from your hysteria. At a certain point we need the information to take a calculated risk and isn't life just a series of calculated risks anyway? We have a lot of good information right now. The sad thing is that there are a lot of people that won't accept it or worse, totally twist it, misrepresent it, turn it into FUD. Mostly Trumpets of course. Something like 40% of Republicans say they won't get the vaccine, more like 50% among people who supported Trump. That's a very good example why your claim that Trump is gone, he doesn't matter anymore, there is no damage still with us, etc is baloney. We are quickly reaching the point that driving to the restaurant is more dangerous than going in, mask or not. The question Paul asked is, if your are vaccinated, why aren't you safe and it is a good question. If not, why get the shot? I'm with Jim, what's the point in engaging with you when it's all been explained to you ten times already, but you still come back, posing the same questions all over again. Don't you ever get tired of eating Greg's lunch? :-) I have to give him credit where it's due, though. He doesn't mind being wrong. In fact, he seems to enjoy it. |

Here are 12 important questions and answers before considering getting vaccinated: Q: If I get vaccinated can I stop wearing a mask(s)? Government: NO Fine. Wearing a mask is not onerous. Q: If I get vaccinated will the restaurants, bars, schools, fitness clubs, hair salons, etc. reopen and will people be able to get back to work like normal? Government: NO I've been working unvaccinated all year. I'll be happy for everybody at my office to be vacinnated. Q: If I get vaccinated will I be resistant to Covid? Government: Maybe. We dont know exactly, but probably not. That's wrong. The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%. Those are the numbers for avoiding serious disease, not for getting infected. That's wrong. Nope, thats what the Phase 3 trials measured and thats where those numbers came from. They havent measure the effectiveness of preventing infection by the virus yet, that measurement is being done now and we dont have the numbers yet. The effectiveness was measured by people being diagnosed as having Covid, not for having serious disease. Wrong, as always. Just like always, just like Trump and Fretwell. Get it wrong and then just keep doubling down on it. We'll see... I read the Pfizer trial document that was submitted to FDA for approval. But clearly didnt understand it or even what a Phase 3 trial is about. The effectiveness number was not based on "serious disease". It was measured on how many of the people who were vaccinated wound up DIAGNOSED with Covid, regardless of the severity, compared to the control group. Wrong, as always and that document didnt even say that. It isnt even possible to diagnose who got covid because the whole point of a vaccine is to get the body to produce lots of antibodys so you cant even measure if the individual has got covid when there are no symptoms. It was ~95% effective in reducing the number diagnosed with Covid. Wrong, as always. Further, other studies, eg Israel have confirmed that. But they arent the ones who produced that 95% number. And even then, the Israeli data certainly suggest that the Pfizer vaccine is effective at reducing transmission, but it isnt possible to put a percentage on how effectively it does that. It is possible to put a number on the percentage who get severe disease. And if the metric is "serious Covid", then the effectiveness is even higher. Wrong, as always. If the test subjects came down with Covid symptoms they were examined by doctors and tested for Covid. Pity about those who never had any symptoms. They did not have to present with "serious disease" to be counted, only symptomatic Covid. Pity about those who never had any symptoms. Wrong, as always.

From your own reference: "The effectiveness of a new vaccine is defined by its efficacy during clinical trials.[140] The efficacy is the risk of getting the disease by vaccinated participants in the trial compared with the risk of getting the disease by unvaccinated participants.

" Pity about those who have no symptoms. Those are clearly infected. Exactly what I said. Wrong, as always. It doesn't say what you said, which is that it's measured by reduction in "serious cases".

He asked questions but did not want to hear answers, he wanted to make his own statement. https://tinyurl.com/336xnms7 Paul comes across as an arrogant politician that wants to show how smart he is. Paul was asking questions about studies that went against Fauci's agenda. Fauci was not responding to the questions asked. He just wanted to conjecture about variants that have not really been studied. "I don't know" would be a better answer than simply expanding on worse case scenarios without actually saying "the vaccine might be worthless on these strains". That is what he implied tho. |

At least the ones too stupid to have gotten vaccinated. You missed the point Fauci and his gang said. The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so you are not protecting others. You have a pretty obvious mistake here. All you can say is, "The vaccine is not proven to reduce transmission so IT IS NOT PROVEN THAT you are protecting others." I don't have to explain why this sentence is correct, right? Read that in the context of the thread. Further, there is quite a bit of evidence from israel that Pfizer does reduce transmission, and Moderna is basically the same as Pfizer, so that's another mistake. Tell Fauci. He didn't get that memo. Cindy just said this about it protecting you. "The effectiveness of the Moderna is 94.1%; Pfizer, 95%, Johnson & Johnson, 66%." Since the survival rate of unvaccinated people is 99.7% or so those numbers are somewhat un reassuring. Scott is right. If you're comparing 94.1, 95, and 99.7, you shouldn't be. They represent two different things that are independent of each other. OK here is another number "Scientists and researchers are constantly tracking infections and recoveries. But they have data only on confirmed cases, so they cant count people who dont get COVID-19 tests. Experts also dont have information about the outcome of every infection. However, early estimates predict that the overall COVID-19 recovery rate is between 97% and 99.75%." https://www.webmd.com/lung/covid-recovery-overview#1 I am doing the Pfizer Sunday but mostly because it was free and easy. I am not convinced it is going to improve my life much if I still need to wear a mask and avoid seeing people according to the government. That's the thing so many people don't appreciate. You're not sick now and if you don't get sick in the next 2 years, you probably won't know -- I don't know how you could know -- if it's because you didn't meet anyone with Corona, you did but you wouldn't have caught it from him anyhow, or you would have caught it but the vaccine saved you. I have been far from a hermit. I am out running around pretty much like normal for the last year, in an unlocked down state and if I got it, I was asymptomatic. No I am not running scared like most of you. I am getting the vaccine because it was easy at CVS, just like I said I would do months ago when the vaccine was announced. I was not willing to get in Black Friday lines or be "caller # 47" in some call in contest. |
