We should be calling for a total and complete shutdown of vaccinations until our public health representatives can figure out what is going on.
Preliminary UK data: Triple vaccinated SARS-2 positives are more than four times more likely to have Omicron than unvaccinated.
Norman Fenton points out an interesting tidbit in the 21 December UK Office of National Statistics infection survey, on “Characteristics related to having an Omicron compatible result in those who test positive for COVID-19”. The data is for infections from 29 November to 12 December.
First, this remarkable passage from the results sheet:
Those who have received three doses of a vaccine and test positive for COVID-19 are more likely to be infected with infections compatible with the Omicron variant compared with those who are unvaccinated, though individuals who had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine continued to be less likely to test positive for COVID-19, regardless of variant. It is too early to draw conclusions from our data on the effectiveness of vaccines against the Omicron variant.
The data is in Table 1b:
Yes, the numbers are very small. Yes, the 95% confidence intervals are enormous. Nevertheless: According to these numbers, the triple vaccinated were 4.45 times more likely than the unvaccinated to have Omicron, among those who tested positive for Corona. For comparison, those with recent travel abroad were 4.6 times more likely than the unvaccinated to have Omicron, while the double vaccinated were 2.26 times more likely, and the single vaccinated 1.57 times more likely.
This squares entirely with the preliminary data from Denmark, which has the double vaccinated sliding into negative efficacy against Omicron (but not Delta) after 90 days. The authors of that study tried to talk away this awkward result by claiming that it “was likely the result of Omicron spreading rapidly initially through single (super-spreading) events causing many infections among young, vaccinated individuals.” The more the same effect is viewed in other data sets, the less likely that explanation becomes.
Maybe, instead of boosting manically in the face of this new variant, as the vaccinators are already demanding, we should be calling for a total and complete shutdown of vaccinations until our public health representatives can figure out what is going on.
UPDATE: See The Naked Emperor’s post on this anomaly and related trends in the UK Data: The New Normal – Pandemics of the Vaccinated?
These jabs should not be called vaccines to begin with. And more and more studies prove that they are probably harming more than they are protecting. With this variant being no more than a cold, it amazes me that people run for boosters, not to mention the devastating jabbing of children who don't need it and only get harmed by it. Even Tedros from the WHO confessed so. So why are they still going on jabbing and propagating? Even the NYT asks the question, after loosing one of their own at his third jab... it will take a few high ups to die before that sinks in.
Good thing it's not a dangerous pandemic or something like that.
Because if it were, we surely would have stopped all non-essential travel, right? Right?
To enter Sweden legally you need to show that you are vaccinated, and/or provide a negative Covid-test not older than 48hrs. Sounds legit, since it's this very dangerous virus doing the rounds and mutating like it was a Marvel character, right?
That's why "asylum seekers" (read: people fraudulently entering the EU under a false claim of asylum) are tested rigorously, right? Since they will be placed in holding facilities, living several people in the same room, it's imperative to make sure none of them are carrying anything dangerous, right?
Wrong. They, who have allegedly travelled from densely packed camps in northern Africa tightly bunched together on small ships - are exempt from vaccination and from testing. For anything. No testing for TB or polio. No testing for parasites. No testing for any infectious diseases. No testing period.
Because racism.
Gee golly, must be one heck of a virus that: it only spreads according to politcal policy.
