Box 5. If CDC data is not your cup of tea then perhaps HM gov UK ONS data showing 0.03% IFR?
How about Canada? Their IFR is 0.07%. Of course, it’s a lot harder to find the average age of deaths and how many cormobidities they had. Curious.
However 99.6% of all Rona deaths in BC are in Long term care homes. Vast majority of hospitalised are around 80. The average age of non accident deaths in Canada is 85. (Source: HM Gov Canada https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html )
Quibbling about effectiveness and the timescale of the u turn is a side show.
If to “reduce severity of symptoms”, then what are the symptoms?
Mono nucleosis has worse symptoms and is way, way more infectious than the Rona is, yet no vaccine exists for that - despite requiring isolation in hospital for children for bad cases. It’s not usually fatal though.
You required proof of the difference between leaky and non leaky vaccines, I found it and supplied it, showing by clinical therapeutics definition, the Rona jabs are leaky.
Seeing as they have dropped to 30% effective, would a better way to be treat the frail elderly symptoms only if they come into hospital, much like we do if elderly/frail do with influenza?
Are you positing we should continue with a jab that has dropped to 70% ineffective?
Finally, care to reveal to the forum as to your status of receiving the holy anointing of the mystery infusion or not? Aka the Rona jab.
Also. Will you get the 3rd? And the fourth?
There is no Box 5 at the link you referenced: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html
Different analyses of statistics are required for different purposes, most of which are not understood by people like you and me. I'm just going to paste in an answer to another post:
Those of us without a firm background in statistics might not understand the differences between the various ways of looking at the numbers. For example, here's a quote from a recent paper: "Currently, the global COVID-19 crude mortality rate is approximately 39 per 100,000 population, and the median case-fatality ratio-defined as the ratio of deaths to total infections-is estimated to be around 1.8%" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340241816_The_many_estimates_of_the_COVID-19_case_fatality_rate
So for those of us without the background to understand the technical nuances of the various numerical analyses I suggest we just go with the simple numbers. As of Oct 8 2021 in Canada there have been 1,585,972 cases which left victims alive, and another 28,186 people who didn't make it. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html
That works out to 1.78% (just under 2%) of the people who tested positive for the virus having died. That's about 1 in 50.
Yeah. Fuck those old people. </s>
Unsupported. Possible Russian troll farm here.

Not sure what the argument is here. Vaccines should never have been used? Where would we be now if that was the case?
Again: unsupported. Possible Russian troll farm here.
Even if the IFR is 1.8%, that’s still a 98% Survival rate. I, and my family will take our chances, seeing as we have already had it, and now have about 27x better immunity than any jab. Worst case, natural immunity is superior.

Scenario 5 or Table 5, the end part.
500 deaths per 1m cases.
Jab efficiency 33-40% https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/health-ministry-says-covid-vaccine-is-only-40-effective-at-halting-transmission/

BC CDC data shows “stable and low deaths” http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Site/Documents/COVID_sitrep/2021-08-26_Data_Summary.pdf
If you are that worried. Go take the 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 jabs if you want. 88% of Canada is jabbed. If you get it you’re covered. If Canada achieves 99% (because 100% is impossible as babies are always being born and well, you don’t give it to babies) then all is well… right?
Natural immunity is the best, but you have to survive the virus to get it. Worst case is actually dying from the virus, next worst is winding up with long covid.
Found it, thanks. It's a best guess for the future for one section of the population, subject to change as events unfold. It's not a reflection of what's currently happening, and it doesn't include anyone over 49.
The full quote: "the COVID vaccine is only 39% effective at preventing the transmission of the coronavirus, but more than 91% effective at preventing severe cases." We all wish there was something that stopped the virus cold, but no one has ever promised that. And preventing severe cases keeps hospital beds open for people with "normal" health problems. None of this is news.
That one confirms that two doses of the vaccine referenced are required for maximum effectiveness. That's not news.
Says the following:
"Based on last week’s data, compared with fully vaccinated individuals and after adjusting for age differences, unvaccinated individuals are
• ~12x more likely to become a case
• ~34x more likely to be hospitalized
• ~8x more likely to die"
I'm surprised you seem to be using that as support for not getting the vaccine.
Yes. Maximum effectiveness at 2 jabs. Now 3, or 4 Israel is thinking about.
A jab so “effective” - one needs 3 or 4 to even “reduce symptoms or severity”. Nah we’re good.
Well aware of BC CDCs interesting vagueness. . X12 more likely to become a case. Hmm. For everyone Dr Henry? All ages?
Okay, fine by us. Whole family already had it. If we get it again in the wild the T memory cells will be on it like white on rice.
X34 likely to go to hospital. Already had is so meh. X8 likely to die. X likely okay.. what’s the other side of the equation? “New Tide Powder, 8X likely to remove stains.” Than what? 8x Persil? 8x Purex? 8x using water? Does bc CDC tell you the chances of dying of not taking it? If it’s less than 2% then again, we’re good.
Wonder what Henry has to say about likely hood of getting it again if you’ve already had it? Haven’t heard her talk about that…
Anyway I can even tell you what it was like. An odd flu ish period of about 10, maybe 11 days. feeling a bit hot, some chills, a cough, muscle or body aches, a bit tired, wasnt enjoying food as much. No runny nose at all, which was the odd oart. Just went to work as normal thinking was working too hard and took it easy in the office. Ended up giving it to the other half, elderly parents and siblings. Probably a lot of the lads at work too. Didn’t even think I was sick at the time.
Similar story with them. Everyone recovered and is now fine.
Even our doctors were blasé about us getting the jab during a routine check up once he learned we all had it already. That’s where I learned the natural immunity thing from. That’s a natural vaccine right there. Good ol memory T cells.
If anything. We are in a better position against folk who have never had it, then get it and pass on a shedded variant, because natural immunity means all the variants are defended against, not just the first one.
Whilst I appreciate your concern for my health, am doing just fine and if you are worried about me giving it to someone hey there’s always the jab for them. Like I said. There’s 4 jabs now and a pill coming up so plenty choice for folk that want to collect the set.
