Analysis of
official data
shows the risks
attached to
Covid "vaccine"
far outweighs
any theoretical reward...
In the early days of the "vaccine" rollout, we ran several articles
discussing the risk-reward of the new mRNA jabs.
Dr.
Sadaf Gilani,
in particular, did good
detailed write-ups on "absolute risk reduction".
To explain "absolute
risk reduction" (ARR) in simple terms: if an unvaccinated person
has a 10% chance of getting the disease, and a vaccinated person has
a 1% chance, then the ARR for the vaccine is 9%.
Of course, that's
just an example, the actual ARR for the Covid "vaccines" is nowhere
near 9%:
This is the
absolute risk reduction for
Pfizer/BioNtech (each group had
over 18,000 people):
-
Injection Group: 8/18,198 = 0.04%
-
Placebo
Group: 162/18,325 = 0.88%
-
Absolute risk reduction = 0.84%
From the "absolute
risk reduction", you can then calculate the "number
needed to vaccinate" (NNTV).
This is the rough
number of people you need to inject in order to definitely prevent
one case/death.
To continue the
example above, if your vaccine reduces the odds of infection from
10% to 1% (an ARR of 9%), you need to vaccinate eleven people to
prevent one infection, giving you an NNTV of 11.
Again, the NNTV of
the Covid vaccines are much, much, MUCH higher than 11. Estimates
range from
between 88 and 700 to prevent a single case, and
anything up to 100,000 to prevent one solitary death.
And remember, all
this data was for adults.
Children are at a far lower risk from Covid - both in terms of
hospitalization and death. In the US,
children aged 5-11 have a
99.992% chance of surviving "Covid" - so it naturally follows
the NNTV for this group will be far, far higher than for adults.
But, now that the
FDA has approved Pfizer's "vaccine" for emergency use on children
aged 5-11, "far, far higher" is not good enough.
We need to
calculate an actual figure for the "number needed to vaccinate" in
order to hypothetically protect one child from dying "with Covid".
Fortunately for us,
someone else has already done it.
Writing on his
Substack, economist Toby Rodgers PhD has collated the numbers from
Pfizer's own trials,
...and done a very thorough
write up.
You can read the
whole thing
here, we'll just present you with some of the highlights:
As of October
30, 2021, the CDC stated that
170 children ages 5 to 11 have died of COVID-19-related
illness since the start of the pandemic.
(That
represents less than 0.1% of all coronavirus-related deaths
nationwide even though children that age make up 8.7% of the
U.S. population).
The Pfizer mRNA
shot only "works" for about 6 months (it increases risk in the
first month, provides moderate protection in months 2 through 4
and then effectiveness begins to wane, which is why all of the
FDA modeling only used a 6 month time-frame.
So any modeling
would have to be based on vaccine effectiveness in connection
with the 57 (170/3) children who might otherwise have died of
COVID-related illness during a 6-month period.
At best, the
Pfizer mRNA shot might be 80% effective against hospitalizations
and death.
That number
comes directly from the FDA modeling (p. 32). I am bending over
backwards to give Pfizer the benefit of considerable doubt
because again, the Pfizer clinical trial showed NO reduction in
hospitalizations or death in this age group.
So injecting
all 28,384,878 children ages 5 to 11 with two doses of
Pfizer (which is what the Biden administration wants to do)
would save, at most, 45 lives (0.8 effectiveness x 57 fatalities
that otherwise would have occurred during that time period =
45).
So then the
NNTV to prevent a single fatality in this age group is 630,775
(28,384,878 / 45).
But it's a two
dose regimen so if one wants to calculate the NNTV per injection
the number doubles to 1,261,550. It's literally the worst NNTV
in the history of vaccination.
630,000 children
injected with 1.2 million doses to save one life...
That's incredibly
inefficient.
However, it could be even worse than that.
As we covered last
week, according to statistics
cited at the VRBPAC meeting, only 94 children from the
5-11 age group have died. If this lower
figure is correct, the NNTV to prevent a single death jumps up to
915,641...
In other words, in
order to hypothetically prevent a single child from dying over a six
month period, you would have to
inject nearly one million children with
almost two million doses
of the Pfizer vaccine.
What kind of risk
are those 915,641 children facing from their two doses of Pfizer
mRNA soup?
Well, early studies
found around
11.1 cases of severe anaphylaxis per million doses of the Pfizer
shot, so already any "fully vaccinated" child is almost 22x more
likely to have an allergic reaction than to actually be protected
from Covid.
Other severe
reactions are harder to calculate.
It is known, for
example, that Pfizer's own trial showed increased all-cause
mortality in the vaccinated group vs. the placebo group, to the point
the trial was abandoned after six months and all remaining placebo
members were given the vaccine, effectively destroying the control
group.
To quote Rodgers
again:
As Bobby
Kennedy explains, Pfizer's clinical trial in adults showed
alarming increases in all cause mortality in the vaccinated:
"In Pfizer's 6 month clinical
trial in adults - there was 1 covid death out of 22,000 in
the vaccine ("treatment") group and 2 Covid deaths out of
22,000 in the placebo group (see Table s4).
So NNTV = 22,000.
The catch is there were 5
heart attack deaths in the vaccine group and only 1 in
placebo group. So for every 1 life saved from Covid, the
Pfizer vaccine kills 4 from heart attacks.
All cause mortality in the 6
month study was 20 in vaccine group and 14 in placebo group.
So a 42% all cause mortality
increase among the vaccinated. The vaccine loses practically
all efficacy after 6 months so they had to curtail the
study.
They unblinded and offered the
vaccine to the placebo group. At that point the rising harm
line had long ago intersected the sinking efficacy line.
Former
NY Times investigative reporter Alex Berenson also wrote
about the bad outcomes for the vaccinated in the Pfizer
clinical trial in adults (here).
Berenson received a lifetime ban from Twitter for
posting Pfizer's own clinical trial data.

It's not in
Big Pharma's interest to have an accurate collation of severe vaccine
reactions, combine this with the (acknowledged)
potential for totally unknown long-term side effects, and
calculating the complete potential risk becomes very complicated.
However, Rodgers -
using the VAERS data as his basis - makes a very reasonable effort:
-
Because
the Pfizer clinical trial has no useable data, I have to
immuno-bridge from the nearest age group.
-
31,761,099 people (so just about 10% more people than in
the 5 to 11 age bracket)
ages 12 to 24 have gotten at least one coronavirus
shot.
-
The
COVID-19 vaccine program has only existed for 10 months
and younger people have only had access more recently
(children 12 to 15 have had access for five months;
since May 10) - so we're looking at roughly the same
observational time period as modeled above.
-
During
that time, there are
128 reports of fatal side effects following
coronavirus mRNA injections in people 12 to 24. (That's
through October 22, 2021. There is a reporting lag
though so the actual number of reports that have been
filed is surely higher).
At this point,
going purely off official data and VAERS reports, you can conclude
that,
injecting every 5-11 year old in the US would theoretically
save approximately 31 lives, but kill roughly 116 children...
That's clearly
already a very bad outcome.
However, if the
predictions for under-reporting of vaccine harms are accurate, it's
potentially much worse than that:
-
Kirsch,
Rose, and Crawford (2021)
estimate that VAERS undercounts fatal reactions by a
factor of 41 which would put the total fatal side
effects in this age-range at 5,248. (Kirsch et al.
represents a conservative estimate because others have
put the underreporting factor at
100.)
-
With
potentially deadly side effects including myo- and
pericarditis
disproportionately impacting youth it is reasonable
to think that over time the rate of fatal side effects
from mRNA shots in children ages 5 to 11 might be
similar to those in ages 12 to 24.
[…] Imagine
that, at most half of American parents will be foolish
enough to inject this toxic product into their kids.
At a 50%
uptake rate, the ACIP decision to approve the Pfizer shot
will likely kill 2,624 children via adverse reactions in
order to potentially save 12 from COVID-19-related illness.
In conclusion,
going purely off official data, vaccinating 5-11 year olds will
create 22 allergic reactions per death prevented, and could very
well result in four deaths per life saved.
And, if Rodgers'
calculations are correct,
the
Pfizer shot could kill over 200
children before it has saved a single one...
As always, the point of this analysis is,
to illustrate
that even the establishment's own data doesn't support
their conclusions, it is NOT necessarily an endorsement of that
data, or of the idea that "Covid" is indeed a "pandemic" that
poses any kind of risk to anyone...
