Pfizer-BioNTech's Covid-19 booster shot was 95.6% effective in a large study that took place while the Delta variant was prevalent, the companies say

Get a morning briefing about the coronavirus pandemic three times a week and a weekly Health newsletter when the crisis abates.“These results provide further evidence of the benefits of boosters as we aim to keep people well-protected against this disease,” said Albert Bourla, Pfizer Chief Executive Officer.

The data could help the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as it weighs whether to broaden Pfizer’s booster use beyond the seniors and high-risk people permitted under current authorization. The companies reported the findings in a press release and provided few medical details. The results haven’t been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Sample size 10,000. 5,000 received placebo 5,000 booster shot. 109 in the placebo group got symptomatic Covid and 5 in the booster group got symptomatic Covid. 109/114 = 0.95614. 0.9564 x 100 = 95.6%. 109/5,000 = 2.18%. 5/5,000 = 0.1%. ~2% of placebo group had symptomatic Covid.

🙈🙉🙊

Hahah now where have I seen this before

Of course what else could Pfizer say? Large study for what duration? This whole vax thing stinks. It’s time to grant these vax full authorization so these greedy pharm companies can be hold liable soon for damages.

If I had gotten 2 shots of something that was originally sold as being 95% effective at completely stopping a virus that has a 99% survival rate...then told I needed to get a 3rd shot because the first 2 weren't good enough... I'd at the very least start to believe I was lied to.

Okay and how long does it’s immunity last. 3 months? Fuck outta here

OKAY OKAY I'M INFORMED 💯

Well there’s delta plus out now, time for another booster

And Moderna?

Of course!

careful roll out of VaccineBoosters is of most importance. Note that if we reached herd immunity Boosters would be unnecesary.

Soon ivermictin and Hydrocloquin will be the normal treatment for Covid, big Pharma is making hay while the sun shines
