In the authors’ own words: “Surprisingly, 2 or more doses of vaccine were associated with a slightly higher probability of reinfection compared with 1 dose or less.”
"Does anyone still recall the excitement in late 2020 when the vaccines against Covid-19 were finally in sight? "
No! I recall an increasing feeling of fear and panic. I had started reading everything I could find back in March 2020. Nothing reassured me about any of the official behaviour towards the supposed pandemic. The idea of injecting people with something without any long-term data was/is terrifying. Even more so for something that was only dangerous to a narrow strata of society (the very elderly and the already ill). At first I thought nobody would be so stupid as to take them. Hah! It became a badge of civic pride to show off how many you'd had. Then, the panic started at the suggestions that it should be compulsory. They would have to tie me down to do it but I worried that my adult children would succumb to pressure.
"The virus still ravages the world"
Does it? Did it ever? How much was down to the hysterical reaction to it? Where are the honest figures on death? The papers on early treatments? The official enquiries into emptying hospitals of sick old people? Of closing down health care systems? Of masking and isolating people?
And what about the current excess deaths around the world NOT caused by covid? The sudden unexpected deaths of young healthy people? That no official organisation appears to be interested in.
The OR was 1.42 - that's not especially trivial.
Also, I note that they have combined those who had single dose to no doses. There's only one reason to do this....
Thanks for this.
Is there a "not" missing here before "preventing"?
Data on infection, hospitalization and mortality already show vaccination not only preventing those.....
