You know how they've been saying that even though the vaccines are shit at stopping infection and transmission they're super good at preventing severe illness and death? Yeah about that.
Background: Whether vaccine effectiveness against Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) lasts longer than 6 months is unclear.<br><br>Methods: A retrospective coh

So the vaccines are good at preventing death among the young and healthy, they're useless at preventing death among the old and morbid. So the people at no risk of dying are protected from death while the people at risk of dying receive no benefit. But it's OK we just have to give moar booster.
Oh but it gets better

The charts in the report are poor;y formatted, nevertheless this table details vaccine effectiveness in preventing symptomatic illness after three months from the 2nd dose. Ignore the first four rows, these are raw unadjusted numbers. the 5th row lists the relative risk reduction for the vaccinated compared to the unvaxxed control group. For the 65-79 age group vaccine effectiveness declines to as low as 58% and for the over 80's to 30%. If we're going to give boosters to the old we're going to have to give them every 3 months.
But wait there's more

This table lists the relative risk reduction after 6 months and yes you're not seeing things. The vaccine effectiveness for anyone over the age of 50 has a negative in front of it. Older people, the ones who actually need protection, show a higher prevalence of symptomatic illness than the unvaccinated control group.
The authors insist that providing a 3 dose vaccination protocol for older men and the morbidly ill will give them better protection although there is no real world evidence that this will work. The authors also support a strict booster regime for everyone except young adults and middle aged women with no co-morbidities. I assume from looking at the data these boosters will be required between 3-6 months after the 2nd dose.
I had wondered why the sudden rush to provide 3rd doses for the elderly and 'immunocompromised" 28 days after the 2nd. The official line is that the vaccines are working great at preventing severe illness in everyone, but we just have to be extra cautious due to declining antibody titres allowing transmission, we can now be fairly certain that the official line is complete horse shit. They're rushing out 3rd doses and boosters because if they don't there will be a significant die off in the elderly and morbid vaccinated populations, which at this point in time is almost all of them.
So it turns out 4chan was right (again). Conspiracy theory becomes fact. The vaccine makers now have their captive market dependent on a lifetime of never ending vaccination. They must be deliriously happy with this data, think of all that recurrent revenue. It's like that Netflix subscription you always meant to cancel but never seem to get round to, except instead of not wanting to watch season 3 of Stranger Things you don't get to die. Fun times.
