If Whatever You're Doing Isn't Working, Then, By God, Do It Harder - To Hell With The Evidence, This Is Medicine!
Unfortunately morbidity and concomitant infections rise in direct proportion to the number of booster shots taken, which to a reasonable person would suggest that immune response is likewise destroyed
“[N]umerous studies have found that mRNA COVID‑19 vaccine effectiveness wanes rapidly into statistical insignificance followed by a further decline into statistically significant negative effectiveness.
On September 20, 2022, a Lancet preprint study was published in SSRN once again finding rapid waning followed by negative vaccine effectiveness against the Omicron variant of SARS‑CoV‑2. The study is titled “Effectiveness of COVID‑19 Vaccines Over 13 Months Covering the Period of the Emergence of the Omicron Variant in the Swedish Population”.
The data show that effectiveness against Omicron infection “was poor and only short-lasting”. The authors’ interpretation was that their findings “strengthen the existing evidence” that a booster dose is needed. Therefore, they argued, “more effort is needed to encourage people to get a booster dose.”
That conclusion, however, is a non sequitur fallacy. It does not follow from the observation that the primary two-dose vaccine regimen confers weak and short-lived protection against infection with the virus that the best course of action is to continue injecting people with even more doses.
When you see scientists employing logical fallacies like this, it is a huge red flag that they are approaching their research with a lack of objectivity. Further into the study, there is another illustration of bias, which we will come to.
The study looked at the outcomes of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection, COVID‑19 hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and death. They included data on outcomes from the end of December 2020 through the end of January 2022. Omicron was first identified in November 2021 and rapidly overtook Delta to become the predominantly circulating variant of SARS‑CoV‑2.
Here was the overall result for the outcome of infection:
As the authors observed in the body of the paper, effectiveness waned rapidly from a peak of 72 percent to no effect by week eighteen. A curious feature of this data is the uptick in estimated effectiveness at the end of the timeline, with very wide confidence intervals that are not inconsistent with continued negative effectiveness.
Analyzing the data differently to show “smoothed trends” with a method that “assumes a linear association in the tails”, here is what they found:”

The formatting is crap because of the Substack platform. I've made numerous attempts to fix it to no avail.
