This is the latest FUD being promoted by the know-nothing anti-vax crew, based on this horseshit paper - mdpi.com/2076-393X/9/7/… - which takes this perfectly fine paper (large vaccine effectiveness study in Israel) - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… - and completely abuses the data.
Over the duration of this large (>500k) Israeli vaccine efficacy study, guess how many people died of Covid 7+ days post-second vax dose? Zero. ZERO.
But that divides the NNTV (number needed to vaccinate) calc by zero, so the authors of the anti-vax horseshit paper ignore it.
Instead, these 3 cranks "calculate" (based on pre-2nd vax data) that it requires 9,000 to 50,000 vaccines to prevent one death. But not one death, period. One death over the study follow-up period, which is FIFTEEN DAYS.
It's just insane that this bullshit is taken seriously.
It took me about 3 minutes to track down the original Israeli vaccine study and figure out how these charlatans were faking their "results", but Very Serious People are taking this very seriously?
GTFOH

Excuse me, @LHSummers, but as best I can tell, you have never been asked to describe your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. I realize Twitter is a terrible venue for this sort of discussion, but can you point me to a public statement you’ve made on this issue?
From its founding to, say 2000, Israel was clearly the winner in any narrative war. It's only in the past 20 years that this position has deteriorated, and I don't think any faction in the Israeli gov't realizes how much the narrative losses have accelerated over the past week.
Here's the latest from the White House on India and Covid ... inane platitudes as they try to walk back the disastrous decision not to allow export of vaccine feeder stocks. Barf.
