In the Pfizer phase III trial, the one with the largest sample, Table S5 in the supplementary material reports 9 severe COVID cases occurred in the placebo group, out of 4,006 person-years of surveillance time. When put as a yearly rate per thousand, the incidence of severe COVID before COVID jabs was 2.25 per 1,000 person-years, which translates to less than 1%.
At the time it was published, no other study had over 4,000 person-years of surveillance time in a placebo group, so the findings of that particular phase III trial carry the most weight.
Though less robust because of meeting a lower bar, in Table S4 the elderly overall attack rate for COVID infection (severe or not) — after combining “at risk” with “not at risk” — was 36.5 infections per 1,000 person-years, which translates to an annual attack rate of 3.6%.
A meta-analysis was recently performed and it claimed that COVID jabs prevent infection and severe COVID in those over age 60. The average breakthrough infection rate was 29.1 infections per 1,000 person-years, and the average severe COVID rate was 4.9 per 1,000 person-years — just over twice the baseline rate of 2020 for all ages combined:
Severe COVID
Because the original clinical trial only reported the all-ages overall rate of severe COVID (blue; bottom left), it would be expected for the elderly rate (red) to be higher by a factor of somewhere between 3 and 6 (elderly get 3-6 times the severe COVID).
But just tripling the height of the bottom left blue bar would result in under 50% efficacy against severe COVID among the elderly. Further questions regarding reduced virulence of COVID variants remain, complicating interpretation.
Virulence of original COVID was at least quadruple that Omicron, for instance, so a breakthrough rate (red; bottom left) of 5 per 1,000 person-years for severe COVID is truly alarming, given that original COVID only led to half that rate in all ages, combined.
Any COVID
The bars at right compare apples-to-apples, and it looks as if COVID jabs had an efficacy of 20% — when relating the original COVID attack rate for the elderly in 2020 to that same rate seen after taking COVID jabs.
However, that would require ignoring all of the naturally-acquired immunity which had built up, so it is more likely that the true efficacy of COVID jabs is below the 20% that this graph shows.
In fact, given the Illusion of Efficacy which gets created when misclassifying infection among those jabbed very recently (within 1 to 3 weeks prior to infection), the efficacy is more likely to be closer to zero, or even negative, than it is to be closer to 20%.
But FDA standards do not allow for “vaccines” to be only up to 20% effective, indicating that the FDA should remove these jabs from the market — assuming they keep their word regarding the critical thresholds of effectiveness which the FDA explicitly requires.
