Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime.

by Paul Weston

Chapter 13: Does it work?

No, the Covid-19 vaccines are not effective at all. They don’t stop infection or transmission, contrary to what we were told at the time. When it became apparent they didn’t do what a vaccine is supposed to do (stop infection and transmission) we were then told the vaccine was effective in minimising the infection and keeping us out of hospital.

This was a lie. No one actually knew if this was the case. Nothing in the vaccine trial suggested this might be true and, more to the point, the claimed minimisation of infection was never actually tested or evaluated in any of the trials. As I say, this was simply a lie.

Do you remember the fanfare in late 2020 when we were told vaccine redemption was close to hand? Do you remember the adulation and the frenzied gratitude toward those lovely, thoughtful, deeply caring people in the Big Pharma Industry who arrived like the heroic cavalry at the 11^th hour to save us all from certain death?

The vaccine is 95% effective we were told. Hoorah for the vaccine! And out most of us duly trudged to wait in line for our jab of salvation. What did they mean by 95% effective, though? Effective against what, exactly? If the vaccines didn’t stop infection, transmission, severity of illness or death, where on earth did the “effective” in 95% effective come from?

We were led to believe it simply meant that out of every one hundred vaccinated people, ninety-five could happily get Covid-19 and shake it off in a jiffy, whilst five unfortunate people would not. This is not the case at all, though, and has to do with Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) and Relative Risk Reduction (RRR).

Approximately forty-two thousand people were involved in the Pfizer vaccine trial. Twenty-one thousand were given the vaccine, and twenty-one thousand a placebo. The latter is known as the Control Group. A few weeks later both groups were tested for signs of Covid-19 symptoms such as a cough, cold, fever etc, which were “confirmed” by a positive PCR test.

In the vaccinated group, eight cases of Covid-19 were discovered, and in the control group, one hundred and sixty-two. Eight is 5% of one hundred and sixty-two, which allowed Pfizer to claim a 95% effectiveness RRR rate (If only 5% of the vaccinated tested positive, it presumes a 95% efficacy rate relative to the unvaccinated).

This means nothing of course, considering less than 1% of the unvaccinated control group contracted Covid-19. An RRR of 95% in no way suggests the vaccine is 95% efficient in stopping an infection. It is basically an accountancy sleight-of-hand. It is a real-world medical fraud.

You will notice the numbers of those infected were extremely small. This presented a marketing problem for Pfizer. Only 0.4% of the 42,000 people involved in the trial tested positive for Covid-19. This effectively means 99.6% of them were at no risk from Covid-19 regardless of vaccination or not.

I won’t bore you with the maths, but this leads to an Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) of just 0.86% which is not terribly useful when it comes to selling a vaccine to the public. A 95% RRR efficacy sounds so much better than a 0.86% ARR efficacy, doesn’t it?

In normal times, both the ARR and RRR percentages are clearly stated with regard to a vaccine. But not in 2020, the year of lies and fraud on a colossal scale. Refusing to divulge the weedy 0.86% ARR (whilst pretending the 95% RRR meant a real-world 95% effectiveness in stopping an infection) may have only been a lie via omission, but in terms of scale it was a veritable whopper.
