In this week’s podcast, we discuss the safety data used to justify the mass vaccination of the world against the covid virus. The number most widely reported claiming the vaccines have a 90%+ efficacy is misleading. This number represents the relative risk reduction from vaccination, not the absolute risk reduction from catching and spreading covid.
Getting vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t catch covid nor does it mean you can’t spread covid if you do catch it. Vaccinated individuals can still catch covid and spread it if they do catch it. Vaccine safety data only measures the severity of the disease if caught, and vaccination is intended to lessen the severe outcomes from covid.
Only reporting the relative risk reduction from vaccination is misleading to the general public and makes the vaccines appear more effective than it really is. The absolute risk reduction of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are .7% and 1.1% respectively. These numbers are much lower than the numbers being reporting and the fact that these numbers are not reported should be a huge red flag to everyone. To learn more about this and more about the covid vaccine, listen to this week’s podcast.
