Chuckles,
Thanks for posting that article. This says it all really. " An estimate of the number to treat from the Moderna trial to prevent a single “case” would be fifteen thousand vaccinations to prevent ninety “cases” or 167 vaccinations per “case” prevented which does not sound nearly as good as 94.5 percent effective. "
That is not even as good as the abysmal efficacy that the flu shot has. It is something like 100 shots to prevent 1 case of what it is trying to prevent which is 2 specific strains of Influenza A and B. The strains they go after varies each year.
"The goal of these mRNA vaccines is to REDUCE the severity of the disease - NOT to prevent infection." It seems to me that can be accomplished very effectively with the things we talk about on this board daily ie:Vit D, Zinc+ Quercetin or EGCG or when a case starts to get serious, Vyrologix. I honestly don't see any need for vaccines and don't think the risk-reward ratio justifies taking one.
There will be side effects with covid vaccines as with any other vaccine. We just don't know how many or how severe they will be. What I'm wondering is whether Vyrologix would be helpful to treat vaccine side effects. That could end up being a very lucrative market.
Now here is a moral question. Is it ok for airlines, concerts, schools or other venues to bar people from participation for not being vaccinated? Before you answer this, remember "The goal of these mRNA vaccines is to REDUCE the severity of the disease - NOT to prevent infection." If they don['t prevent the infection but they do reduce the severity of the disease then they don't make vaccinated any less likely to infect others.
