Has anyone seen what is happening in the senior citizens home? (https://nowgrenada.com/2021/09/statement-of-bishop-harvey-concerning-covid-situation-at-senior-citizens-homes/). Listen we all should know by now the vaccine is not going to stop the spread of COVID-19 anyone with half-a-mind can see that from brief research (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176397/ ; https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733) So, its being used to stop hospitalisations then because they are effective. Well, hold on a minute let’s see beause “Although the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) considers only participants
who could benefit from the vaccine, the absolute risk
reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack
rates with and without a vaccine, considers the whole
population. ARRs tend to be ignored because they give
a much less impressive effect size than RRRs: 1·3% for
the AstraZeneca–Oxford, 1·2% for the Moderna–NIH,
1·2% for the J&J, 0·93% for the Gamaleya, and 0·84% for
the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccines” and “these
considerations on efficacy and effectiveness are based
on studies measuring prevention of mild to moderate
COVID-19 infection; they were not designed to conclude
on prevention of hospitalisation, severe disease, or
death, or on prevention of infection and transmission
potential. Assessing the suitability of vaccines must
consider all indicators, and involve safety, deployability,
availability, and costs..”(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8057721/). Relying solely on the vaccine is a bad idea (even criminal) and early treatment protocols need to be implemented immediately and stopped being suppressed. Ambulatory multi-drug therapies have been shown to reduce hospitalisations and death by 85% and need to be implemented now!!!
