| Dr John Campbell : Must watch on 19:59 - Nov 12 by Sandanista | One question. Why are you doing this? Are you ill, a morbid ghoul or just down a conspiracy hole. Most people agree the vaccines have been successful. Despite the omicron waves of the two sub variants , mortality is low. We are leading relatively normal lives. Just admit they are a success, and stop leading impressionable people to make poor decisions based on misrepresentations by people using the pandemic for personal gain. And yes. I had not fully read the paper. I work. Read it today and it’s a crap paper in a crappy near-predatory journal . |
To answer your questions. Yes as I have admittted many times that the vaccines have been successful at reducing the COVID death toll as you well know. However you have now made the statement that they have helped to stop the spread of COVID and especially the Omicron version. I cannot see that in the data, in fact studies of the data say that the opposite is true once vaccine efficacy wanes. The Delta version was never reduced below 50% of it's peak of 50,000 new cases/day in July until Omicron came along in December. It has taken a further 5 months to get back below the pre Delta levels of infection since Omicron peaked at the end of December/beginning of January. So do you stand by your statement that the vaccines continually reduce the spread of COVID. |  |
