It all depends how you measure ‘effective’.
Research from PeterDoshi recently published in the BMJ highlights the lack of evidence required for Covid-19 vaccine trial candidates to appear a 'success'.
“We now learn that none of the trials currently underway are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths. Nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus.”
“In all the ongoing Phase III trials for which details have been released, laboratory confirmed infections, even with only mild symptoms, qualify as meeting the primary endpoint definition. In Pfizer and Moderna’s trials, for example, people with only a cough and positive laboratory test would bring those trials one event closer to their completion,” Doshi reveals.

The way Covid-19 vaccine trial protocols have been designed for so-called ‘efficacy’ does not include impact on infection rates, hospitalizations or deaths or even preventing infection transmission. The only criterion for a successful Covid-19 vaccine is a reduction of symptoms shared by both Covid-19 and the common cold.
Also another key point not mentioned in the headlines and soundbites by vested interests and the lamestream media is if the vaccine is not being tested for transmissibility then it won’t end the lockdowns. Even worse, all it may do it create millions or even billions of asymptomatic carriers!
And in both Pfizer and Moderna’s case especially, the first ever mRNA vaccines to be rolled out in human populations, there are no long term safety studies (ie. let’s just use the global population as human Guinea pigs – what could go wrong!)
What a deceptive fraud of the people, who paid for these trials and will fund the purchase of these vaccines, for pharmaceutical companies and their government health agency cronies who stand to make billions yet have been granted legal immunity - by these same government vested interests - for any deaths, injuries and outbreaks associated to their vaccines. What a despicable SCAM!
