One of the Directors of Pfizer admited that the vaccine was not tested on preventing transmission.

They had no proof that it prevented transmission yet we were told to get vaccinated to stop the spread of covid.

As far as I am aware none of the vaccines were tested for transmission prevention. Data in the wild showed a reduction in transmission.

Surely they must have followed the science? How can they report on the efficacy without testing this in trial phase ?

The tests and efficacy figures quoted were in respect of preventing serious illness. It was quite clear and amazing that people still don't know this.

So it didn't prevent contraction and it would appear transmission testing was 'avoided',but as we are all aware it doesn't prevent transmission.That m-rna stuff,good luck

The great thing about the vaccines, including the initial Pfizer, is that the details of the testing were very explicit. If you hadn't wanted to scrutinise the openly published research results evidence, most news outlets covered the main points repeatedly for months. I'd be surprised that many hadn't viewed or listened to the very clear summary of what those vaccines could achieve for us. Of course, the pressure was on to reduce deaths, serious illness, disabilities and health services being overwhelmed.

The vaccines did very well at those criteria and allowed the country to be opened back up, much more quickly, getting the economy moving.

It's almost as if people have forgotten what was headline details, from just a few months ago.

Forgotten? Or failed to grasp really simple information in the first place?

The amount of people who are still beligerantly and wilfully ignorant on anything Covid/Vaccine related, even after two and a half years and literally hundreds of thousands of pages of verifiable information beggars belief.

When it first came out they didn't claim that, the selling point was that it reduces severe illness. They said transmission would need to be continually assessed.

After all you don’t know if you have an underlying issue unless it is diagnosed so probably better too be safe than sorry

Oh I see, no worries. No I have my own Housekeeping business with no medical degree, I clean their large home and both barns that are converted into B&B’s but I don’t clean the practice. I was one of the unfortunate that got Covid very early on but luckily got over it quickly as I keep myself very fit and have no underlying health issues, thankfully. After 3 years of working for her in their home and family run business I just trusted her judgment that’s all and my own body I suppose. I take it you are a doctor of some sort?"
anyone suffering from bad effects from the jabs would see their GP first so in that respect the GPs would have first hand insight into any trends relating to health issues caused by the jabs - so the GP wound have a good idea on what’s going on so in this case I would agree and trust their judgment.

Selective memory when most world leaders practically made hate speech at the non vaxxed and their selfishness

THIS is the key post in this thread and nobody else has acknowledged it.

So much gaslighting and selective memory.

In the early days the govt comms very much focused on transmission prevention. This extended to policies to exclude the unvaccinated from actively taking part in society.

People who post in this virus forum were aggressively attacking people who did not want the vaccine or were hesitant, in some cases even going so far as to accuse them of being murderers or responsible for the death of others.

They should all hang their heads in shame!

I remember having full blown rows on these forums when questioning why, when we finally knew (based on data from Pfizer etc) that they did not stop transmission but did provide added protection for the individual against serious illness, those who did not have the vaccine should be treated any differently to those who had it.

There were even people advocating concentration camps, loss of employment, exclusion from medical treatment, prevention from using public transport or places etc. You know who you were and should be ashamed.

The argument started shifting towards, oh the unvaccinated risk using up NHS resources more.

There was a drive to create a binary tribalist argument when the reality was that, while yes there were some ardent anti-vaxxers (some who were anti all vaccines), there were far more vaccine hesitant people, who just wanted to wait and see more info and be more assured. Oh how those people got mocked on these forums by the pro-vaccine crowd.

That same pro-vaccine crowd who shut down any attempt at critical discussion or questioning. That same pro-vaccine crowd who ridiculed anyone who was unsure or worried. That same pro-vaccine crowd who crowed on about civic and patriotic duty accusing any who weren’t jabbed of being selfish. That same pro-vaccine crowd were so willing to remove people’s right to choose what they do to their own bodies (because non-sensically they still accused the unvaccinated of spreading Covid).

Even now there are threads on Fab asking whether you would meet/swing with someone who was not vaccinated!

Utter utter nonsense.

Sure some smart arse will come along and starts spouting the statistically unproven line that because someone is vaccinated in theory will develop less severe symptoms and then have them for less time it goes to follow that they are transmitting less of the virus less often.

That does not seem to have been the case, otherwise China wouldn’t be locking down again and we wouldn’t be seeing the highest rates of infection in the UK.

That is not being driven by the unvaccinated who in the UK are a very small proportion of the population now.

I say all this as a vaccinated person who was initially hesitant (and ridiculed by some).

"The vaccine is ineffective"

There are many vaccines and you've gained the benefits of them, whether you had 1 or not. They allowed the UK to reopen the stalled economy, amongst other things. They prevented thousands of deaths and many more thousands of serious illnesses - perhaps you have family and friends who you're still able to enjoy time with them, because of the vaccines. The health services were also prevented from more serious catastrophic overload. Other countries were also opened and safer for us to visit. Lots of benefits that we each got, directly and indirectly.

Your comment "The vaccine is ineffective" is so obviously wrong.

Over the years... Those who never question have continued to never question and to berate those who do question. Those who were strongly anti, have continued to be anti, some of those in the middle seem to be questioning a little more.

Taking aside the vaccines efficacy in preventing / reducing symptoms / illness / death. Or the vaccines efficacy in preventing or reducing transmission.

At the very least this story should question the way authorities, health authorities, the media outlets spread the message and what and how certain policies were arrived at. Informed consent is important only if the individual is provided with accurate information. We can't go back, but we can learn so we are better informed in the future.

This does nothing to help the mistrust of the pharma companies, the pr machines, the scientists who allowed misinformation to spread and the health authorities and govt policy scientists and wonks.

With the greatest respect Steve I have read a few of your comments on the here and sadly you very much do that. When my teenagers went back to high school the first time after first lockdown they tested positive within 3 days, I never got it as I previously had it and they had no symptoms, therefore my theory and point was made. Why get a vaccine for something my body was now naturally able to fight and protect. Then my elderly mother who has had a triple heart bypass and type 2 diabetic had a stroke in from of me 5 days after her last booster, may not be related but I certainly think it is and yeah as you say she’s only a GP but I’ll trust her judgement more than yours

The vaccines did very well at those criteria and allowed the country to be opened back up, much more quickly, getting the economy moving.

It's almost as if people have forgotten what was headline details, from just a few months ago.

the virus mutating to become less deadly and natural immunity in the community were the reasons for that . The vaccine is ineffective

"The vaccine is ineffective"

I think your subjective take on these has clouded your opinion. The vaccines gave us substantial benefits and gains. The political decisions were mixed, with some very poor ones and others better. But, keeping focused on the many vaccines, or just the 1st Pfizer one, their effectiveness was pretty phenomenal

"You're all some sort of special if u get any more boosters

Fuck that"

You'd not support people with significantly elevated risks of death or severe illness, such as the immunocompromised, or elderly, with comorbidities? Or want to prevent the already overloaded health services, from becoming besieged and unable to cope? Potentially preventing you or loved ones, from having lifesaving treatment for something else?

Deaths and the severity of the virus were over reported?

The families of 6.56 million people strongly disagree with you.

the death were over recorded and 6.56 million world wide is not that much most of these will not even have died from covid but just tested positive for it . It’s never been the deadliest thing around

On who’s say so sorry but I’m a bit confused by your post

The Doctors’s say so that I work for

Look it was right for us we decided to get the vaccine nobody made our decision for us

Or our kids should we decide too get them boosters our choice as their parents and guardians

Excuse me but I didn’t once question your decision, and that’s your choice. My teenagers don’t want vaccines and that is also their decision.

I only gave an opinion on the OP’s post regarding a Pfizer director’s own quote. Settle petal

All good night

Always the unverified with no membership that take the huff! Night night darling, don’t take life so serious, no one gets out alive, vaccinated or not

Winston most of these people died of other things you’re hysterical about covid "

The key question is...”out of that 6.58m people, of those with pre-existing conditions, how many saw that condition exacerbated by Covid and it either accelerating/bringing forward their death or making the condition terminal when it may otherwise have not been?”

The point being that many did in fact “die with” rather than “die of” but what matters is whether Covid had a detrimental impact that added to/speeded up another condition.

Personally I would rather an old person (who was going to die soonish anyway) had lived a bit longer so we had more time together.

The comment from Pfizer is not controversial but yet again conspiracy theorists see it as proof of..."something".

The vaccines were designed to minimise the chance of infection and reduce symptoms if infected NOT reduce the chance of infecting someone else if you were infected.

The reduction in infections did reduce the prevalence of the disease but it was not from the vaccine addressing actual transmission. Infected people still had the same viral load and potential to spread it. Vaccinated people had a lower chance to catch it from an infected person.

If they did subsequently catch it there was a high chance their symptoms would be minimised reducing chances of death/hospitalisation.

Try telling the family of an 80 year old they have died, of any reason.

Then see an 80 year old die with or of Covid and realise they may have been with their family a couple of years or even months more if the vaccine had been available.

It's very easy to play god when you are not on a ward, theatre or any other medical setting.

Try to be a little more mindful of the sensibilities of the families of those who have suffered a loss because one day you will be in their position.

If you are in any doubt nip along to your local general hospital and do a bit of volunteering and chat to front line medical staff.

"Eh, why were the non vaccinated not permitted to partake in the social aspects of life, wining and dining and holidaying like the vaxxed with Covid passports then

?! Oh wait, they told us it was because of transmission - protect the vulnerable...

Selective memory when most world leaders practically made hate speech at the non vaxxed and their selfishness

THIS is the key post in this thread and nobody else has acknowledged it.

So much gaslighting and selective memory.

In the early days the govt comms very much focused on transmission prevention. This extended to policies to exclude the unvaccinated from actively taking part in society.

They should all hang their heads in shame!

The argument started shifting towards, oh the unvaccinated risk using up NHS resources more.

Even now there are threads on Fab asking whether you would meet/swing with someone who was not vaccinated!

Utter utter nonsense.

That does not seem to have been the case, otherwise China wouldn’t be locking down again and we wouldn’t be seeing the highest rates of infection in the UK.

That is not being driven by the unvaccinated who in the UK are a very small proportion of the population now.

I say all this as a vaccinated person who was initially hesitant (and ridiculed by some)."

To be fair though, few of those who spoke out against the vaccines were covered in mainstream media. The forum policy does not permit links to non mainstream sources.

In addition, cast your mind back to the pile on that happened whenever anyone with good credentials did speak out. They were vilified and character assassinated.

The public health messages were pretty clear. A side effect of the vaccines was lower viral load and infectivity for less time

This wasn't promised but was borne out from research evidence. The initial messages were about reducing deaths and the number of people who got very serious illness. We achieved that. And spared health services from being overloaded, affecting other treatments too, including causing other deaths. Most people wouldn't wish for anything else

I think the point (well for me at least.) .. Is that it was misrepresented. So if we were told by UKHSA to get a flu jab to stop it spreading.

. And they knew that it doesn't stop it spreading that's the same situation. Now.. Didn't affect me whether I got the jab or not... But I can understand why for some people... Who were feeling strongly anti authority anyway... That this just pours more fuel on the fire and lack of trust.

I’m no expert but I would have thought that the increase in infections could be down to schools restarting after the summer break and the colder weather leading to people staying in more. Regarding your second question, due to the omicron variant being less deadly than the previous variants, boosters have been recommended to the over 50s and those under 50 at risk only. I’m sure if the omicron variant was as deadly or worse than the initial variants then everyone would have been recommended to get the booster.

all loved up

The thing is.. early statistics showed that the vaccines did seem to be helping with transmission...but then as more people started to have the vaccine they realised that while initially it had seemed the case, but the statistics didn't take into account the fact that those offered it early on, were probably those doing all they could to avoid catching it in the first place.....I can't remember where I read it but makes sense. We are talking about very early on and the first trials.

I guess it was a case of getting a little too excited.. although I only ever saw things saying that they think it may help with transmission or early indications were that it was helping.

Things changed... advise changed but the number one priority was achieved and that was to lower the deaths and severity. And to allow the country to open back up .. well actually the world

Also it was also said on many occasion that the main function was to minimise the severity of the vitus.

Peak viral load is apparently pretty much the same regardless of vaccination status or infection history. Ecvidence is there that Vaccines decrease the length of time the viral load is high. To answer your other questions.

1) infections are rising for lots of reasons. School and universities are back. People are not taking mitigation measures as much. Colder weather so more mixing indoors and yes probably immunity dying off from vaccines and previous infection.

2) I would think it is primarily a cost vs benefit decision. Of course no medication comes without risk too but the risk is so miniscule that cost is the over riding driver.

Can you point me in the direction of that evidence of lower viral load and infectivity please? I’m curious if that is the case then:

1) Why do we currently have such a significant increase in infections again?

2) If that is due to waning efficacy of the vaccines, why are boosters not being offered to all (is it simply cost v benefits?)

2) I would think it is primarily a cost vs benefit decision. Of course no medication comes without risk too but the risk is so miniscule that cost is the over riding driver."

There is some really easy logic.

If a vaccine reduces the length of infection, then it will "by default" reduce transmission. The less time you are infected, the less opportunity there is to infect others.

"The thing is.. early statistics showed that the vaccines did seem to be helping with transmission...but then as more people started to have the vaccine they realised that while initially it had seemed the case, but the statistics didn't take into account the fact that those offered it early on, were probably those doing all they could to avoid catching it in the first place.....I can't remember where I read it but makes sense. We are talking about very early on and the first trials.

I guess it was a case of getting a little too excited.. although I only ever saw things saying that they think it may help with transmission or early indications were that it was helping.

Things changed... advise changed but the number one priority was achieved and that was to lower the deaths and severity. And to allow the country to open back up .. well actually the world

Also it was also said on many occasion that the main function was to minimise the severity of the vitus.

WITH covid is vastly different FROM covid... furthermore the tests (which were only ever supposed to used to identify people for additional screening) are not as accurate as claimed, they regularly indicate on common sugars (example cola gives a positive result)and similar respiratory illnesses.

the Jab is a symptom mitigator at best and should be a personal choice as to taking it.. in much the same way as you may choose to take cold or flu meds.

for the record I am not jabbed. medical reasons mean I cannot take it, but even if they were not present I would still have refused it.

My position on the state of testing is fact and comes from being a WHO certified tester and vaccine adverse reaction responder.

Where are we now as opposed to before? Are fully jabbed still getting covid? Yes, you only need to look at some of the status messages on here.

Are people suffering side effects? Again yes... look at the status messages. 'never felt so unwell', 'booster knocked me on my ass', 'how much longer am i going to be sick'.

if the jab gave anywhere near the level of protection that was claimed (91% effective in preventing infection according to CDC press release 7th june 21) the risks from it MIGHT be semi justifiable to the most at risk... but it does not.. and it is not even close.

its not a case of getting over exited..against the strain that was dominant then... it really did look like it was going to work really well at preventing infection.. it did slow it down considerably... which is a good thing. I don't ever remember being told " it will stop you catching it" ... bit like they don't say that about flu vaccines

I've had all of my vaccines despite having an over active immune system. On the plus side I rarely get ill or if I do it is much milder.... covid however hit me hard x

"Was not tested on preventing transmission" is not "the vaccine does not prvent transmission".

There have been studies conducted after the vaccine rollout which show that vaccines do indeed prevent transmission to some extent. (For example, see the Israeli study conducted in 2021).

But I suppose that won't be enough to stop the anti vax brigade froth by their mouth and shout "seeee!!! i told you so!!! i predicted it!!! we all predicted it!!!"

Selective memory when most world leaders practically made hate speech at the non vaxxed and their selfishness

THIS is the key post in this thread and nobody else has acknowledged it.

So much gaslighting and selective memory.

In the early days the govt comms very much focused on transmission prevention. This extended to policies to exclude the unvaccinated from actively taking part in society.

They should all hang their heads in shame!

The argument started shifting towards, oh the unvaccinated risk using up NHS resources more.

Even now there are threads on Fab asking whether you would meet/swing with someone who was not vaccinated!

Utter utter nonsense.

That does not seem to have been the case, otherwise China wouldn’t be locking down again and we wouldn’t be seeing the highest rates of infection in the UK.

That is not being driven by the unvaccinated who in the UK are a very small proportion of the population now.

I say all this as a vaccinated person who was initially hesitant (and ridiculed by some).

Spot on"

Spot on indeed. We are glad we abstained from the jab and did not bow to any form of pressure, though it was tough . Having coped twice with the infection it is presumable that we obtained natural immunity , so we see no need for us to take any of these still experimental stuff in the future .

"So vaccine passports were not required at all. Heads should roll but they won't "
the vaccine passports were never required in the first instance -

scenario 1 the vaccines are safe and effective and prevent you from infection. In this case it doesn’t matter as a vaccinated person would be protected.

Scenario 2 the vaccines protect you from severe illness but do not stop transmission. In this case it doesn’t matter if your vaccinated or not as both groups can transmit infection.

The vaccine passports was just another way to coerce the public to take up the vaccines in order to go to a pub or jump on a plane. There was never a valid or legal case for them to begin with. So be careful, the latest news from Pfizer executive stating they did not test for transmission has no bearing whatsoever on the vaccine passport for the reasons explained above.

It's certainly useful to have genuine sources of information and researched presented, in addition to the conclusion that something is true or not. This is in sharp contrast to the majority of claims which require fact checking, who presented little if any verifiable information and rely on sensational claims and misappropriated quotes.

I need to read this again but first impressions were that it was not conclusive and was caveated in a number of ways, transmission reduction seemed to be the case with Alpha but less so with Delta (and due to timing nothing about Omicron), one of the studies in particular cited the small sample size, there is also concern over falling efficacy.

What is needed is a similar set of studies and article undertaken now as obviously things have moved on as numbers are currently growing rapidly (ie transmission in rife) despite the vast majority being vaccinated. Not sure the proportionality argument explains this if the rise is exponential and apparently (don’t have numbers to compare but it is being reported) higher numbers than before. Unless of course that comes down to the fall in efficacy.

You can't get transmission data from earlier trials because of how vaccines work. To slow transmission they have to be administered and effective in a certain percentage of the population (this varies for each vaccine and each pathogen). So the vaccines were trialled and shown to be safe and effective at reducing infection/ morbidity.

In real terms this means if you had the vaccine, you have less chance of being I'll, the virus would not replicate as much or as quickly. This means you shed or give out less of the virus if you become exposed. This will inevitably lead to a drop in transmission (which is what happened).

I saw this report and it's the classic case of taking a quote out of context to drive up Twitter traffic and boost exposure. These tactics make these fringe outlets money and that's why it's not on mainstream because it's not quite true.

I sort of agree the government was desperate to open up and the only safe way to do it was to have a highly vaccinated population. I don't like uk vaccine passports mainly because they don't work are easy to get around so have almost zero effect. Vaccine passports for travel are different. If country want them to protect their health service then it up to the country itself.

If that is the case why were those that chose to take the personal risk of not being vaccinated vilified for their decision. If it was obvious the jabs didn't stop transmission why were we constantly told to 'Get vaccinated to protect others' ? Why were 40,000 care workers sacked for not being vaccinated if the only risk was to their own health ? Why was it necessary to prove you were vaccinated to travel or enter a nightclub, theatre, restaurant etc ?

That would then make some sense in terms of preventing those unvaccinated from gathering in large groups, the impact of covid on them would have been potentially greater and leading to a greater chance of needing the NHS.

I'm not saying natural immunity or being vaccinated is either better or worse, just that the vaccines were encouraged to cut down the numbers of people needing NHS treatment.

If Covid was not as aggressive and didn't overwhelm health services around the world, the vaccine would still be in development today.

In the early days the govt comms very much focused on transmission prevention. This extended to policies to exclude the unvaccinated from actively taking part in society.

They should all hang their heads in shame!

The argument started shifting towards, oh the unvaccinated risk using up NHS resources more.

Even now there are threads on Fab asking whether you would meet/swing with someone who was not vaccinated!

Utter utter nonsense.

That does not seem to have been the case, otherwise China wouldn’t be locking down again and we wouldn’t be seeing the highest rates of infection in the UK.

That is not being driven by the unvaccinated who in the UK are a very small proportion of the population now.

I say all this as a vaccinated person who was initially hesitant (and ridiculed by some)."

Well said, personally I think the media played a big role in driving the segregation & hatred, they only ever gave one side of the story even though there was evidence all along that these jabs weren't as safe & effective as they were made out to be, didn't stop transmission, were still experimental & had serious side effects. Far too many people believe everything they see on BBC, ITV, Sky news etc is the truth & that simply isn't the case.

You are wrong about it being a hoax, but well done on not getting sick

"If someone died of cancer but had tested positive within 28 days, the cause of death on their death certificate was covid.

Have you got amnesia? Why can you not see that it is hugely possible that the government has lied about the real number of covid deaths?

I think the real number of covid deaths without underlying health conditions is extremely low.

So if someone with cancer is in hospital for a long period and catches pneumonia and dies from the symptoms of pneumonia then they should have died of cancer on their death certificate? That is what you are saying.covid only had to be mentioned in you’re death certificate for you to be put on the covid death list "

You obviously don't know how death certificates work. Tested positive within 28 days and mentioned on the death certificate are different numbers.

Good news for you. However 1 in 45 people have covid at the moment and 3/4 of then have covid for the 1st time.

"Do yiu have a source for this, it looks like the main stream media are not reporting it?

Mainstream media won't report on the thing they've been deceiving everyone with propaganda.

died of any cause within 28 days of a positive test and if covids mentions in death certificate it goes on the covid list . The deaths have been over recorded

I'm sorry to hear that.

Do you think it could be negligence by a member of the medical staff, rather than a hoax?

Having that experience is going to make you look at anything covid with a sceptical view.

If it was so deadly we wouldn’t need 24/7 media coverage about it . If you turn your tv off it goes away

Whilst you are correct that it's not a hoax, it's not a naturally occurring virus either, it was planned & genetically modified through Gain of Function research for several years, it even has a U.S. Patent number (something that occurs naturally cannot be patented by law). Test kits were patented & PPE stockpiled before covid officially existed. It was a planned pandemic, the question is why.

I confess to struggling when people claim Covid was a hoax. I try my best to respect all points of view but with that one...!

Covid was real. Was it AS serious as we were all initially led to believe? I don’t know! Was it serious...yes! People did die in awful circumstances and it cause untold suffering for the victims and their loved ones. It is insensitive to dismiss that.

There were some amazing responses to the Pandemic and science did rise to the challenge. Were some corners cut? Maybe? Was there fear that a solution was needed very quickly? For sure! Was that solution perfect? Probably not!

Without a doubt there were some who exploited the pandemic and made themselves a lot of money. There were also people in positions of authority who acted in such a way as to destroy the credibility of the threat or undermine the policies being put in place to control the spread.

This fed the belief that the establishment cannot be trusted.

The Govt and media stoked up public anger and fuelled division. The pandemic also saw people showing their true colours. As I said above, people on these forums were actively calling for concentration camps, exclusion from society, work and healthcare for anyone not wanting to take the vaccine(s). I mean seriously folks

There were inconsistencies and stories that simply did not add up that fed the conspiracy theories but unhelpfully also got silenced due to the focus on the more outlandish conspiracy theories.

An increase in sports people dying was hand waved away as opposed to being properly examined to see whether this was vaccine related or covid infection related - “they” just didn’t want to talk about it!

But despite all this noise and counter noise and things not quite adding up and some individuals making obscene amounts of money...stop saying Covid was a hoax or wasn’t real.

Oh and try to understand “died of” and “died with” and realise that the latter was still saying Covid was a contributory factor and that without Covid the underlying condition may not have been terminal or at least not terminal so soon!
