Week 43 UK's Covid vaccination surveillance report has been released
They've changed the reporting format (can't think why) but the numbers are all there.
Infection rates overall are up in adults, in particular vaccinated adults between the ages of 40-59. On average vaccinated adults are 2.5 times more likely to catch Covid than the non vaccinated.
Focusing on mortality rates in older demographics, the only people at any statistical risk of dying, we see that the vaccines seem to offer protection. However when we factor in the higher infection rates this protection all but disappears. The 60-69 demographic are 4 times less likely to die but 2.5 times more likely to catch the virus. In the 70-79 age group they are three times less likely to die but twice as likely to catch it. At the time of the report we can now say that the vaccines are increasing infectivity in the vaccinated, conferring some protection against severe disease on an individual basis but not on a population wide basis.
Why is this happening?
The report attempts to hand waive the efficacy data away by blaming changes to behaviour in the vaccinated. I assume on the basis that the vaxxed will be more likely to mix and engage in higher risk activities than the non vaxxed. This seems to me to be a cope. What's the real reason?
Despite increasing infection rates in all adults N-antibody prevalence continues to flatline.
The only demographics showing any increases in N-antibody prevalence are younger people with lower vaccination rates.
In the 3 oldest age groups, the impact of first vaccine dose, then second vaccine dose, can be seen from December through June, as the profile of population antibody levels increases. Then from June through September the profile of antibody levels in these cohorts gradually decreases, consistent with waning. During October there is a small increase in percentage of donors with high antibody levels of 1000+ AU/ml for the 70 to 84 age group only, following the initiation of the booster programme.
In the 3 oldest age groups spike antibody titres show a waning to seronegative, no surprise there. However despite waning/disappearing s-protein titres these age groups, with close to 100% vaccination rates, are not producing n-antibodies in response to infection.
recent observations from UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) surveillance data that N antibody levels appear to be lower in individuals who acquire infection following 2 doses of vaccination.
They are outright admitting that OAS is occurring in the vaccinated.
To summarise the vaccinated are far more likely to become infected than the non vaccinated. The claim that the vaccines are reducing mortality overall is no longer sustainable. It's now confirmed that the vaccinated, at least in older age groups (and likely in all) are not able to mount a broad immune response when exposed to the virus. OAS is occurring and even worse the effects on innate immunity persist even when the vaccine derived antibodies wear off.
So now we know why they're so desperate to inject old people with third doses and boosters. Best hope they work.
