The effectiveness of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine against infection turned negative over time for children aged 5 to 11, according to a new study.

Researchers found that for kids in the age group, the effectiveness peaked at 60 percent to 70 percent several weeks after the first dose. It then dropped, nearing zero at week 18 for previously uninfected children and week 20 for previously infected children. After that, the effectiveness was pegged as turning negative, which means the vaccinated children were more likely to contract COVID-19 than unvaccinated children.

Researchers cautioned against reading too much into the estimates because of potential confounding factors.

“Our study showed a decline over time of vaccine effectiveness against omicron infection in children. However, not many children had been vaccinated for more than 5 months, so there was great uncertainty in the estimate of vaccine effectiveness after 5 months,” Dan-Yu Lin, a professor of biostatistics at the University of North Carolina, told The Epoch Times via email. “Thus, one should focus on the trend of waning effectiveness rather than the estimate at the end.”

Researchers said in the study, which was published by the New England Journal of Medicine, that the effectiveness estimates may have been confounded by earlier infection and vaccination in children more at-risk from COVID-19 due to underlying serious health problems. That could have led to the vaccine’s effectiveness being underestimated.

The group analyzed data from the North Carolina COVID-19 Surveillance System and the COVID-19 Vaccine Management System, with records on 887,193 children aged 5 to 11 available. That included data on vaccination from Nov. 1, 2021, to June 3, 2022, and data on clinical outcomes such as a positive COVID-19 test from March 11, 2020, to June 3, 2022. The group employed a Cox regression model to estimate the vaccine effectiveness.

The research was funded in part by a National Institutes of Health grant.

Pfizer did not respond to a request for comment. Other Findings

In addition to studying vaccine effectiveness, the researchers wanted to see what kind of protection previous infection, or natural immunity, provided against the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus.

Omicron became dominant in the United States in late 2021 and one of its subvariants is the currently dominant strain.

While natural immunity was better than the hybrid natural immunity–vaccination during the Delta wave, getting a vaccine in addition to natural immunity provided better shielding during the Omicron era, according to the study.

Unvaccinated children with natural immunity had 90.7 percent protection against infection at two months past infection and 51 percent protection at five months, researchers estimated. Among vaccinated children who also had natural immunity, protection was 94.3 percent at two months and 60.9 percent at five months.

Natural immunity did appear to do better against hospitalization. After starting at 99.5 percent in the first month, the protection was still high, at 86.9 percent, after 10 months, according to the estimates. The effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine, known as BNT162b2, against hospitalization peaked at 88.2 percent at four weeks after dose one and was down to 76.1 percent at week 20.

The uncertainties surrounding the estimates of protection against hospitalization in both groups were greater because of the small number of hospitalizations, researchers said.

“Both the BNT162b2 vaccine and previous infection were found to confer considerable immunity against omicron infection and protection against hospitalization and death,” the researchers said. “The rapid decline in protection against omicron infection that was conferred by vaccination and previous infection provides support for booster vaccination.”

Currently, many countries around the world are promoting the second COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for the elderly, many of whom have already received their first booster shots. Under these circumstances, the transparency and openness of information about the safety of booster shots has become a very important issue. Amid this discussion, recently, data on the numbers of COVID-19 infections and deaths after vaccine booster injections in two Canadian provinces have been removed. Removed Data: 76% of People Died of COVID-19 Infections Had Booster Shots?

In a Letter to the Editor published in the Prince George Citizen, a long-standing Canadian newspaper, the COVID-19 health outcomes by vaccination status data from the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) was cited in a screenshot.

The screenshot shows that in mid-April 2022, 50 percent of people in BC had already received their first booster shots, that is, their third doses of vaccines. Between March 20 and April 16, 2022, 63 percent of all people with COVID-19 infection had received their first booster doses. But what stood out was that among those who passed away, 73 percent of them received booster shots.

Another screenshot was posted on Twitter, showing the vaccination status data from BCCDC for the period between May 15 and July 9, 2022. During this period, 52 percent of BC residents had received their first booster shots, and 76 percent of those who died from COVID-19 infection had received their first booster shots.

The author of the Letter to the Editor article commented, “If you look at the statistics from the BCCDC site, you will see that there is zero scientific evidence for keeping the vaccine passport in place.”

However, on July 28, 2022, the BCCDC website indicated that their “outcomes by vaccination status” data would be removed as of that date. At present, this data is no longer available on its website.

CTV News Vancouver asked the B.C. Ministry of Health for an explanation for the data removal. The Ministry of Health responded with three points:

First, as the more transmissible Omicron variant had been spreading on a large scale, more people had chosen to do nucleic acid testing at home. Therefore, the reliability of the infection data was reduced, and the data didn’t reflect the full picture of the infection.

Second, many of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients already had underlying diseases. And although they tested positive for COVID-19 infection, the reason for their hospitalization was not directly related to their infection.

Third, the temporal association between their vaccination and infection was unclear, and no accurate conclusions could be drawn from it.

However, the above official explanation was not convincing at all. Since the vaccine rolled out at the end of 2020, it is always the situation that many hospitalized COVID patients have other underlying diseases. Those who were admitted to hospital were tested with nucleic acid assays, not the at-home rapid test kits. Meanwhile, it is always a challenge to pin down the exact infection time for a respiratory disease, so the temporal association between vaccination and infection is not always very accurately defined.

Therefore, their explanation didn’t clearly explain why the number of people who received the booster shots was unusually high among those who were hospitalized and died from COVID-19 infection. In addition, the situations mentioned in the official explanation are present in all medical systems globally; why does the Canadian government take this important data down based on these excuses? BC Situation Resembles Manitoba, UK Data

The situation in British Columbia is not an isolated case.

The provincial government of Manitoba in Canada reported (pdf) in July 2022 that the vaccine booster shot administration rate in the province was 43.8 percent in May 2022. However, people who had received booster injections accounted for more than 70 percent of COVID-related deaths.

This report (pdf) is still available on the Manitoba government website. However, in the week of July 31, the website stopped updating the chart.

Similar data are available from the UK.

On the UK Health Security Agency’s COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report (pdf) published on March 31, 2022, statistics showed that 73 percent of deaths within 28 days of infection were among people who had received their third vaccine doses, before their COVID-19 infection diagnosis was confirmed.

However, on April 7, 2022, the UK Health Security Agency announced that it would stop updating the report (pdf). Are the Second Vaccine Booster Shots Associated With an Alarming Number of Deaths?

After analyzing the data on COVID-19 vaccination status and COVID-related deaths in the Netherlands, Dr. Theo Schetters, a leading Dutch vaccinologist, discovered that there was a high temporal coincidence between the number of people who received the second booster shots (i.e. the fourth vaccine shots) and the number of excess deaths.

He stated that if more people were vaccinated, within a week there would be more excess deaths; and if fewer people were vaccinated within a week, there would be fewer deaths.

He estimated from the data that, on average, one in 800 elderly people over 60 years of age die from the COVID-19 vaccines. He also suggested that the vaccination program should be re-examined, as the current vaccination might have caused more harm than protection. ‘Vaccine Dilemma’: Good Versus Harm

An article published in 2021 in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) suggested that the Pfizer vaccine was “likely” to cause death in some frail elderly people.

The Norwegian Medicines Agency investigated the causes of 100 deaths of nursing home residents who received the Pfizer vaccine. About 30,000 elderly nursing home residents had received the vaccine at the time. According to the investigation, among the 100 cases, 10 deaths were “likely” to be causally related to the Pfizer vaccine; 26 were “possible” to be causally related, and 59 were “unlikely” to be related to the vaccine. The remaining 5 cases were considered “unclassifiable.”

Since vaccines may bring serious side effects and even accelerate the death of some people, why do the governments still promote mandatory vaccination for the entire population?

Their rationale is that the benefits of vaccination “outweigh their harms.” This theory seems to have been widely accepted.

This reminds us of the classic moral dilemma–the “trolley dilemma”.

A runaway trolley is traveling on a railroad track with five people on the track. If the driver pulls the lever, the trolley will switch to another track with only one person on it.

The driver has a choice: do nothing and let the trolley run over the five people, or pull the lever and let it run over the one person on the other track.

The current vaccine policy is like choosing to pull the lever and accepting that a small number of people will die prematurely due to vaccines in order to protect more people.

However, has it ever occurred to people that instead of only two options, there is also a third way?

Maybe the driver could have chosen another way to stop the trolley, rather than having to choose to run over five people or one person.

Similarly, during this pandemic, we don’t have only two options: either getting vaccinated, or getting the COVID-19 infection and becoming critically ill or dead.

We can increase our advocacy of improving the physical and mental health of the general population. We can boost everyone’s immunity–both to defend themselves against the virus and to avoid the risks associated with the vaccination.

In other words, why not “mandate” people to exercise five more minutes every day, “mandate” them to eat 100 less calories of junk food every day, and “mandate” them to go into nature for an hour every month to relieve stress? In fact, there is no need to “force” people to do so. Instead, it would be enough to raise their awareness of immunity with the same intensity as vaccination promotion.

At present, the world is facing a public health crisis. Under these circumstances, it is more important to take a cautious and thoughtful approach to medical ethics than to weigh the interests of the public’s life and health as a mere numerical model.

Every now and then someone - JP in this case, and with our thanks - sends me something that is not an article about what's going on, but rather a paper or research project about what some people are up to, that explains a great many things. In such cases I have to pass them along for your own interest and archives, particularly if you're the sort that often gets into discussions with people who do not think such things are possible, or that anyone "would ever purposefully do that." Today's paper that JP spotted is from 1970, and it's one of those "see I told you so moments." I had intended to blog about this last week but one thing led to another and lo and behold, I forgot. I'm still an "analogue" creature, so in addition to my digital schedule, I still keep all the really important stuff in my date book, where I was reminded to blog about it, so here we are.

Just for a memory refresher, I've been arguing that "they" have weaponized forest fires for a long time. If you've been following this website for a while, you'll recall all my blogs about the strange fires in California a few years ago, and my suspicion that many of them were being deliberately set, and by a variety of means. Just search for "California fires" on this website and you fill find a raft of articles and my own and others' speculations dealing with the subject.

In fact, the internet was abuzz with stories and videos from local residents who had lost their homes or were about to do so, recording some very strange things, the most prevalent of which were homes literally burnt to the ground, with melted twisted metal because of the extreme heat, and yet, within a few feet of this, a shrub or tree, with its greenery still intact, growing peacefully, as if nothing at all had ever happened.

Others took similar pictures of bridges and guardrails along roads, melted and twisted beyond belief, and yet again, nearby all this evidence of "extreme heat," bushes and shrubs growing as if nothing at all had happened. Still others took pictures of their homes' electrical boxes, and discovered that in many cases fires had broken out there. And yet still others took pictures or videos of what can only be called "beams of light" projecting from the ground to the sky (or the sky to ground) in places where a fire would subsequently emerge.

While all this was going on, Mr. Bankster and his globaloney friends were rolling out "weather derivatives", a pretty handy thing to have around when you have technology that can manipulate the weather, cause draughts, which in turn can amplify the effects of your weather manipulation, and your anility to start fires by various technological means from matches to electromagnetic interferometry to burn people out of their property. Among my many speculations about the fires, I even speculated that the power grid itself might be used as a broadcast mechanism to start fires in specific regions by starting fires in houses.

For all this, PG&E took the public fall because the narrative was put out that it had not kept its many power lines free of the floor clutter and dead foliage that can act as fire-generators with the merest spark. All that's needed is the proper ignition device, and the right weather conditions...

... and all this - even to some extent the cover narrative itself - is spelled out in the following document shared by J.P.:

Forest Fire as a Military Weapon: Final report June 1970, US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service

You'll note the study was sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, as DARPA was then known before the "D" was added, allowing it to become what we refer to on this website, following a suggestion of J.B. many years ago, the Diabolically Apocalyptic Research Projects Agency. Creating firestorms seems to fit the apocalyptic bill rather neatly.

You'll also note that other than using the power grid itself as an ignition system, or electromagnetic interferometry or particle beams or other exotic ignition systems, almost everything else is discussed in depth, including proper weather conditions (which, again, highlights the flexibility given by weather manipulation technologies).

But most importantly, the basic point is there for all to see: weather, and forest fires themselves, can be weaponized and according to the study, should be.

And you can safely bet that with the Diabolically Apocalyptic Research Projects Agency involved, that the research did not stop in 1970... think of hurricanes that suddenly make right-angle turns (Katrina), or tornados that do the same thing or that appear in clusters conveniently organized...
