The week 45 COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report from Public Health England dropped the other day. There are already useful analyses from eugyppius here and el gato malo here. But, dear reader, as you cast about for semi-intelligent viewpoints in a world gone almost totally nuts, you most obviously need a third take on this, and I’m happy to oblige.
In my previous stab at this (Wane’s world), I applied the Pfizer/Moderna magic efficacy formula to the PHE data from week’s 37-44 inclusive. In this much shorter post, I refine the graphing technique a bit, add week 45, and present the pretty pictures more or less without comment.
The graphs below show the implied “vaccine” “efficacy” (both words duly enclosed in their own personal sets of scare quotes for maximum sceptical effect) against infection, hospitalization, and death as revealed by the PHE data. The x-axis is week number, the y-axis efficacy percentage using the Pfizer/Moderna magic math. The left y-axis scaled from 50% to 100% applies to hospitalization and death. I moved the infection data to the right axis, scaled from -140% to 100%, because efficacy against infection is so disastrous.
And to be clear, when efficacy is negative, it implies that rather than “saving” or “preventing” infections, the COVID-19 injectable pharmaceutical products are in fact causing them.
Recall from last time, Death60 represents the “Death within 60 days of a positive COVID-19 test…” series while Death is “Death within 28 days…” And remember that infection is on the right-side y-axis, but nothing else is.
