Currently the narrative of German politicians and media is that the unvaccinated are the main spreader and driver of the #Covid19 pandemic.

Let's look at the facts!

From the large Swedish population study published in The Lancet (preprint), we know that Vaccine Efficacy (VE) against symptomatic infection wanes fast!

We can use this information, to calculate how man of the fully vaccinated in Germany are currently actually protected.
Vaccination was spread out from 12/2020 until now.
We know that VE reaches zero at month 8.

The European CovPass app has a built in feature to check for boosters.

It will query the following endpoint: distribution-cff4f7147260.dcc-rules.de/bnrules

Currently there are 5 Booster Notifications, including the one below.

This is proof, that the government can reject certificates at ANY time!

It reads:
"For security reasons, all certificates from the pharmacy you have visited must be reissued. Your certificate will be blocked on November 15, 2021."

This means the government can revoke certificates at ANY point in time.

Welcome to 1984!

Without those certificates one can currently not have a normal life in Germany and many other EU countries.
Entry into bars, clubs, restaurants, theaters, trains (France, Italy), depends on this certificate.

In this thread I want to deep dive into the COVID-19 vaccine trial and some questions I have, specifically:

Does the COVID-19 vaccine lead to less illness as claimed here?

As we know from the RCT trials, there was not difference in all-cause deaths.
Pfizer reported 29 deaths of which 15 occured in the vaccine arm and 14 in the placebo arm. Within normal range.

There was a total of 3 covid deaths - 2 in the placebo arm.

Moderna reported no covid deaths, and a total of 13 deaths, 6 in the vaccine arm and 7 in the placebo arm. Also within normal range.

The German Government has apparently listened to the wrong experts. They only listened to "no-covid" experts, disregarded the Swedish way from the start.

In german there's a saying:
Wer nicht hören will, muss fühlen.
Those who refuse to listen, will feel it.

US seniors saw +69% increase in all-cause excess mortality over the last 13 weeks (vs 2020).

That puts the excess deaths for the 3 months period at a record level of 101 thousand people.

Despite about 98%+ of US seniors vaccinated.
