Net Hospitalization is a metric that is supposed to be negative for vaccine products. While some may have to go into the hospital because of adverse effects, more should be kept out of the hospital due to the efficacy of the vaccine product.
But, for Moderna, net hospitalization is positive at any age.
In other words, whether elderly or young, taking Moderna will increase your chance of becoming hospitalized. How can this be? Take a look at the number of boosters required for preventing a single COVID hospitalization:
That’s straight from the CDC and it still doesn’t include the lower virulence of Omicron variant that we have today — which would have the effect of raising the columns even higher than they are in the image.
But a good (statistically-significant) estimate on the rate of hospitalization due to COVID jabs is 1 additional person hospitalized due to serious adverse events of special interest (serious AESI) per 800 dosed persons.
Here is the same image with a new red line showing the 800-dose mark where someone is put into the hospital due to taking the COVID jab:
The numbers in parentheses at bottom show the number of people put into the hospital by the time that a single COVID hospitalization is prevented. In no age group was it ever the case that Moderna prevented more hospitalizations than it caused.
Under any normal circumstance, the product would be immediately removed from the market. Medical historians will have their hands full when writing about this ‘vaccine campaign’ in the future. It is going to go down in history.
