Vaccines for all?

Independent SAGE continues • 299 implied HN points • 11 Apr 24

Miracles In The (In)famous Pfizer Trial

QTR’s Fringe Finance • 25 implied HN points • 02 Feb 26
🏥 Health Politics Vaccines
  1. Reported vaccine effectiveness jumped sharply within about five to seven days after the second dose, which seems biologically implausible and makes that rapid change suspicious.
  2. The trial protocol let investigators treat symptoms in the first week after vaccination as side effects without PCR testing, so many potential COVID cases in the vaccine arm could have been missed and efficacy overstated.
  3. Vaccine recipients reported fewer non-COVID symptoms outside the immediate reactogenicity window, suggesting differential outcome ascertainment and bias that reduce confidence in the trial’s results.
