Covid vaccines - thread banned users in First Post

Nope, that's not what the linked article says.

"Nearly all persons had received their second dose more than 6 months earlier."

"Booster vaccination was associated with an approximately 60% reduced risk of infection."

Vaccination not effective against infection? What vaccinations? And what variant infections? Over what duration?

Nope, I'm checking if you can learn through repetition, I guess that's another thing you can't do :)

Meta-analysis isn't a theory either, another thing you will fail to learn today :)

Everybody thinks you're wrong and you have been proven wrong on that in intricate detail, with yourself leading the data analysis, with some leading by others.

Actually here's a question, lets see if it leads you again, after a trial results, what are the ways of reducing the confidence interval bands? Let's see if you can answer without spinning out.

Your posts are now utterly dishonest as your attempt to quote it out of context in at attempt to deceive others.

This is what the article says:

the finding that mRNA vaccines have negligible effectiveness against omicron infection 6 or more months after the second dose

And we come back to:

Booster vaccination was associated with an approximately 60% reduced risk of infection.

So the article clearly shows that your original claim was false and repeating it at this stage is a lie.

It's much more fun to make you do the work and prove yourself wrong yourself as you've been doing all the way through.

Because when you're told directly by people you just ignore it (as you're already trying to do) or start getting pedantic.

Needless to say, I understand how you reduce the confidence intervals using meta-analysis, now it's up to you to get there.

Or you can just say you don't understand how it all works, in which case many can explain it to you but that would mean you have to accept their answer rather than spinning off into your own misunderstanding again.

So, do you want it explained and promise not to misunderstand or do you want to tell everyone how you think it might work?

Or do you want to keep on looking foolish?

The decision, as ever, is yours to take :) (I've even given you some clues to piece it together).

No, they generally work as intended, like any treatment.

Some vaccines last a long time, because the virus doesn't mutate or evolve much, like Measles. Other vaccines require boosters because the virus replicates a lot, creating mutations and evolving, like Influenza.

The current Covid vaccines are relatively very safe, they also reduce hospitalizations and deaths from the disease by around 90%. Considering this virus has killed over 6 million people in just a couple of years, the vaccines have saved a huge number of lives. Their benefits greatly outweigh any drawbacks. That's the whole purpose of them.

I don't understand what you mean, can you explain?

:)

Ah you added this bit on. To address all these points for the 400th time

"We WeRe ToLD" - No we weren't.

Companies make money. Masks, vaccines, laptops. Thankfully we have large companies that can produce large amounts of things we need at short notice.

We had the largest wave early in the year, but thanks to vaccines hospitalizations and deaths were relatively much lower than previous waves. Which also meant the hospitals were able to cope.
