Google Scholar shows roughly 90,000 scientific studies and academic papers on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 that were published this year, which is a great testament to how quickly researchers can mobilize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Many of these studies, however, were limited in nature. They were small-scale, involving only a handful of test subjects. Or they relied upon data from numerous, disparate sources, which introduced a lack of uniformity into the experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But late last week, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/144245\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FDA published its\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">analysis<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0of the Pfizer\/BionTech COVID-19 vaccine trial results, called BNT162b2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And the results are extremely valuable:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">1- The study was very large, involving tens of thousands of people;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">2- The participants came from all walks of life and highly diverse genetic compositions;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">3- The rules and protocols were completely uniform across the entire experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This is quite rare. Of the nearly 90,000 COVID-19 studies this year, very few meet these criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Perhaps more importantly, there was no funny arithmetic involved, like how the government and media tend to count anyone who sets foot in a hospital or mortuary as Covid-related.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">I told you yesterday that the vaccine results are very promising: only 8 people out of 20,033 who received two full doses of the vaccine ended up testing positive for COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And perhaps even better, ZERO out of the 805 subjects over the age 75 (who received the vaccine) tested positive for COVID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So Pfizer has clearly done something extraordinary here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But as the\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>New England Journal of Medicine<\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0wrote late last week, \u201cImportant questions of course remain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">There were numerous adverse reactions to the vaccine, and the Journal rightly wonders whether \u201cunexpected safety issues [will] arise when the number [of vaccinated individuals] grows to millions and possibly billions? Will side effects emerge with longer follow-up? How long will the vaccine remain effective?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">These are among the big questions that remain unanswered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But the FDA felt that the benefits of Pfizer\u2019s vaccine outweigh its potential risks\u2026 so they approved an<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\">\u2018<span lang=\"en-US\">Emergency Use Authorization\u2019 for BNT162b2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And that\u2019s great. Pfizer\u2019s vaccine is now available to anyone who wants one. Imagine if everything in government could move so briskly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This is what leads me to the number three\u2026 because, in addition to the people who received the vaccine, another roughly 20,000 people received a placebo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">How many of them do you think ended up testing positive for Covid during the same evaluation period?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">5,000?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">500?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Well, out of 20,000 people who did NOT receive the vaccine, 162 of them expressed symptoms of acute respiratory illness and tested positive for COVID-19 during the evaluation period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And out of those 162 in the placebo group who tested positive for Covid,\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>THREE<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0of them had \u2018severe\u2019 Covid. And only one of them was hospitalized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">(The study also clearly defines \u2018severe\u2019 Covid by a quantitative measurement of oxygen saturation. So there was no subjectivity involved.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So from the roughly 20,000 participants who did NOT receive the vaccine, 162 (0.8%) tested positive for COVID-19 during the evaluation period. And THREE (1.9% of the positive tests) had \u2018severe\u2019 Covid. [see page 30 of the report]<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Remember\u2013 this was a BIG test. Tens of thousands of people, from all walks of life, under uniform research conditions. So this is pretty pristine data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yet the numbers show that 98% of the people who tested positive for Covid during the evaluation period had a mild case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>It\u2019s astonishing that they still want to shut down the economy given this data.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Now, I\u2019m not dismissing Covid. A lot of people have suffered from it, and a lot of people have died.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But it\u2019s absurd that COVID-19 has become a sacred, hallowed, untouchable topic that outweighs every other priority in our society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Covid is more important than any other medical condition. It\u2019s more important than freedom. It\u2019s more important than our value system. It\u2019s more important than basic human decency and the ability to engage civilly with one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Politicians and public health emperors don\u2019t want a single person to die of Covid. But they don\u2019t give a damn about suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence, and every other disease that\u2019s going untreated right now because of the Covid hysteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">They\u2019ll happily arrest people who dare to open their businesses. They\u2019ll pepper spray people who, even if sitting by themselves, take off their masks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">They\u2019ll censor and cancel you for expressing a view that doesn\u2019t conform to the fear narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">They\u2019ll shame and ridicule you if you have any concerns about the vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And they want us all afraid and locked up against our will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Human beings aren\u2019t meant to live like this. Yet now we can see the data for ourselves: 1.9% of people who tested positive for Covid had a severe case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And if you include people who had asymptomatic Covid and didn\u2019t even realize they were sick, the percentage of severe cases is even lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Certainly there will be people who reject this data. But you can\u2019t have it both ways. You can\u2019t dismiss the Covid severity rate while claiming that the vaccine is safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Both results come from the same research and the same conditions. So they\u2019re either both true, or neither is true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yet all we hear about now is gloom and despair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Joe Biden talks about the dark winter ahead and waffles about a national lockdown.\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Bill Gates insists we\u2019ll be locked up until early 2022. And Fauci says even if we take a vaccine we\u2019ll still have to wear masks, social distance, and avoid other people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But maybe they ought to \u2018listen to the scientists\u2019 and have a look at their own data for a change before abusing the Constitution and playing God with people\u2019s lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sovereignman.com\/trends\/why-the-number-3-may-make-you-rethink-covid-hysteria-29697\/\">https:\/\/www.sovereignman.com\/trends\/why-the-number-3-may-make-you-rethink-covid-hysteria-29697\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why the number \u20183\u2019 may make you rethink Covid hysteria<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41994\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
