Covid Vaccine effectiveness data from the US 2021 — did they work?
Executive Summary:
In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 20% of the Covid deaths, while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced over 80% of the Covid deaths.
In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 31% of Covid cases; while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced nearly 70% of Covid cases.
This means the US unvaccinated had a 5X higher chance of contracting Covid compared to the vaccinated per capita, and that overall the unvaccinated had about a 15X higher probability of Covid death per capita.
Note: since 'Long Covid' occurs in 15% to 25% of Covid cases, that means there is also a 5X higher prevalence of Long Covid per capita among the unvaccinated.

is a CDC analysis of 25 geographically dispersed US jurisdictions. It presents statistics on Covid incidence and death rates broken up by "wave" (dates) and age, separately for vaccinated and unvaccinated. Most of the key data is in TABLE 1.

Discussion
Note that the period is Apr-Dec 2021; why? In the first quarter of 2021 we were busily vaccinating the 65+ cohort; the most vulnerable. There was an excess of unvaccinated deaths in that period and not enough vaccinated people to make a fair comparison. Including that timeperiod would skew the data to make vaccines look even better than they are.
Note that the total deaths add up to 117,207, while the total 2021 US Covid death toll was about 550,000. That is because this data is for 25 representative jurisdictions, not the whole nation. This data represents over a quarter of US deaths, so percentages from it are statistically representative of the overall US Covid situation.
Vaccine effectiveness (VE) declined from the pre-delta to the delta to the omicron waves, but vaccines still provided significant protection.
Booster doses were highly effective.

Vaccine effectiveness (VE) declined from the pre-delta to the delta to the omicron waves, but vaccines still provided significant protection.
The age-standardized IRR for cases in unvaccinated versus fully vaccinated persons was 13.9 during April–May and progressively declined to 8.7 during June, 5.1 during July–November, and 3.1 during December, coinciding with the periods of Delta emergence, Delta predominance, and Omicron emergence, respectively. This decline suggests a change in crude VE for infection from 93% during April–May, to 89% during June, 80% during July–November, and to 68% during December. Age-standardized IRRs for deaths among unvaccinated versus fully vaccinated persons were relatively stable; crude VE for deaths was 95% during April–May, 94% during June, and 94% during July–November.
Booster doses were highly effective.
During October–November, age-standardized IRRs for deaths among unvaccinated persons were 53.2 compared with those in fully vaccinated persons with a booster dose and 12.7 compared with persons without a booster dose; these results represented crude VE against death of 98% and 92%, respectively.
Incidence rate ratios
IRRs were calculated by dividing incidence among unvaccinated persons by incidence among fully vaccinated persons (overall and by receipt of booster doses); after detrending the underlying linear changes in incidence

The biggest point here is that if you get jabbed you 'feel' like you're doing a 'civic duty', which is totally different from the actual medical effect of the so-called 'vaccine' drugs. The two have to be seperated.
People who sheepishly lined up to get jabbed did it because they felt they had to, and felt like they wanted to, or somewhere in between.
The jabs were used as leverage to force uptake against losing civil liberties, jobs, and pitting citizen against citizen. Kind of like a 'civil war' in a way where neighbours fight each other because of religious disagreements. ;-)

Just a random question have you ever had any vacinations for protection from any illness in your lifetime?
butterflybaby75 · 46-50, F
@Gillian30 yes - my beef is purely with the entire business about Covid and how it's never been about protecting lives and we have never been 'all in this together'. The so-called 'vaccines' for Covid are just the icing on the cake.
Gillian30 · 70-79
@butterflybaby75 I agree with you to some degree and we all have choices. Having lost several friends in the early days of covid it was horrible to watch them struggling to breath and eventually succumb to the illness. One was a 30 year old nurse and the other was a 50 year hospital worker. I have several friends who where health workers on the front line dealing with this and they are now broken people and no longer can work due to the stress and mental anguish caused over the past few years dealing with this illness. They strongly believe and have witnessed the effect the vaccine has had in the past 2 years.

At least we don’t have to wear masks, stay indoors/away from people etc anymore.
butterflybaby75 · 46-50, F
@Strongtea Here masks are basically only required on public transport and I think gp clinics here now. Masks, forcing people to 'check in' etc was doing my head in! plus the lockdowns - ffs! I never got any of the jabs and never will.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I did get jabbed, it does seem like the right thing to do@butterflybaby75

Every cult relies on the placebo effect to some degree to turn non believers into believers.
butterflybaby75 · 46-50, F
I guess the biggest thing out of this is the 'collateral damage' ie. what the side-effects of the whole shebang (not just the vax drugs themselves) are. it's much more than the medical aspects related to Covid, the drugs, and how that's been handled. There's a huge social impact, plus the way governments have used the situation almost for their own good.

@MalteseFalconPunch No I will not shut up about it just because you pathologically disagree with my specific view about Covid vaccines and the way in which Covid as a 'cult-like' plandemic has been 'managed' (or more correctly mis-managed) and weaponised by governments to control their populations, test out new experimental drugs, and accelerate wealth concentration amongst the business elite.

@MalteseFalconPunch No problem that you have a different opinion. I welcome you to keep expressing such. But I won't shut up, and neither will most other people who consciously made their own choice about whether or not to get jabbed with something they do not agree with.

I guess it depends on your country. I don't know enough about Australian rules but the FDA has fully approved Moderna and Pfizer mRNA vaccines. Looks like Australia is well on its way based on Google but again idk
