The Pointless Covid Vaccine

This from Jim Church:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00675-9/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR2-E0KZVnAMo5fy64xO2b-S6z31T6wyTD1VGImSkC7xFU35q4yzlq10oGk

"Over the course of 2,047,113 days of follow-up in the covid positive group, there were 78 cases of symptomatic covid (by which we mean a positive test + at least one symptom). Over the course of 2,971,436 days of follow-up in the covid negative group, there were 1,369 cases of symptomatic covid-19."

This works out to a relative risk reduction of 92% for prior infected people. For comparison, the Pfizer vaccine trial reported a reduction of 95%, the Moderna trial reported an reduction of 94%, the Astra-Zeneca trial reported a reduction of 70%, and the Johnson&Johnson

trial reported a reduction of 67%.
So... prior infection is equivalent to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in terms of the level of protection offered, and much better than the Astra-Zeneca vaccine and J&J vaccine. It seems completely unnecessary for people who have had covid to get the vaccine.â€

1 I mentioned this elsewhere on this site: I know a woman who contracted (and obviously survived) COVID fairly early in 2020. Early in 2021 somebody talked her into getting the vaccine -- I'm not sure which variety -- and she became very ill from it, worse than from the actual virus. The lesson would seem to be if you've had the virus, resist all pressure to get the vaccine.

2 Yes Dana; it's foolish to think the vaccine will do a better job than the virus itself in creating immunity.
